摘要:
Nowadays, wireless communications are entering the 5G era, in which Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and Ultra Dense Network (UDN) architecture are the two core technologies. In UDN architecture, deploying MEC servers at both macro eNodeB and small eNodeB can effectively reduce delay and energy consumption, and improve the user's Quality of Experience (QoE). However, the access selection is challenging due to the dense allocation of small eNodeBs. In this paper, we propose a user access selection algorithm considering MEC in UDN. A QoE-aware cost function related to energy consumption and service delay is adopted as the performance metric. The energy consumption is calculated as the uplink transmission power of User Equipment (UE), and the service delay is counted as the sum of the transmission delay from UE to the MEC server and the processing delay of user services at the MEC server. This method is compared with the traditional optimal channel quality access method. Numerical results show that the proposed method can effectively reduce the delay and energy consumption, and thus, improve the QoE of users. © 2017 IEEE.
