A Study on Resource Allocation for Mobile Edge Computing-Assisted Industrial Iot

Since the advancement of mobile communication technology, traditional industries are gradually transforming and upgrading, which leads to problems such as insufficient computing resources and excessive energy consumption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. To address this issue, a resource allocation algorithm for the mobile edge computing-assisted industrial IoT (IIoT) is proposed. First, a mobile edge computing-assisted IIoT network model was constructed. Using the collaboration between IoT devices, mobile edge computing (MEC) servers, and cloud servers, the issue of minimizing all IIoT devices energy cost was proposed. Subsequently, in order to address the optimization issue, obtain its optimal solution, the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm is introduced. Finally, the ADMM algorithm's convergence was verified through an experimental simulation. In contrast to baseline algorithm 1 and algorithm 2, the ADMM algorithm can significantly diminish energy cost, proving the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
