Computation Tasks Offloading Method for Digital Distribution Networks Based on Edge-Edge Collaboration

Computation offloading is an effective strategy for leveraging the computing resources of edge-side devices, enhancing performance to swiftly respond to real-time computation tasks while ensuring successful completion using limited resources. This paper proposes an offloading method that takes into account the collaboration of multiple edge-side devices for real-time computation tasks in distribution networks. The data transmission process is analyzed in detail, while characteristics of real-time computation tasks, logic correlations between each split part of real-time computation tasks, and hardware resources for edge computing devices are considered as complex constraints. The proposed method reduces the overall completion delay and improves the successful completion rate of real-time tasks by splitting these tasks properly, transmitting computation data orderly, and allocating resources reasonably. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a typical case.
