Abstract :
[en] The convergence of advanced communication technologies and powerful computing architecture has unlocked a plethora of opportunities for Internet-of-Things applications. To fully realize this potential, a synergistic design encompassing sensing, computing, and communication is crucial. This article investigates these critical technologies to facilitate service-oriented systems by minimizing end-to-end latency and the number of deployed services at edge servers in mobile edge computing, all within the confines of stringent ultrareliable and low-latency communication requirements and system budget constraints. The addressed optimization problem takes into account variables, such as service placement strategies, task offloading portions, and bandwidth allocation. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of our solution and highlight the impact of key parameters on system performance.
