Energy-Efficient Multi-task Multi-access Computation Offloading Via NOMA Transmission for IoTs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Driven by the explosive growth in computation-intensive applications in future 5G networks and industries, mobile edge computing (MEC), which enables smart terminals (STs) to offload their computation workloads to nearby edge servers (ESs) in radio access networks, has attracted increasing attention. In this article, we investigate the energy-efficient multitask multiaccess MEC via nonorthogonal multiple access (NOMA). Exploiting NOMA, an ST with multiple tasks can offload the respective computation workloads of different tasks to different ESs simultaneously. To study this problem, we adopt a two-step approach. Specifically, we first consider a given task-ES assignment and formulate a joint optimization of the tasks' computation offloading, local computation-resource allocation, and the NOMA-transmission duration, with the objective of minimizing the ST's total energy consumption for completing all tasks. Next, based on the optimal offloading solution for the given task-ES assignment, we further investigate how to properly assign different tasks to the ESs for further minimizing the ST's total energy consumption. For both the formulated problems, we propose efficient algorithms to compute the respective solutions. Numerical results are provided to validate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms. The results also show that our proposed NOMA-enabled multitask multiaccess computation offloading can outperform conventional orthogonal multiple access based offloading scheme, especially when the tasks have heavy computation-workload requirements and stringent delay limits.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
