The Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) constitutes computing over virtualized resources distributed at the edge of mobile network. For mobile users, an optimal allocation of communication and computing resources changes over time and space, and the resource allocation becomes a complex problem. Moreover, for delay constrained applications, the resource allocation to mobile users cannot be solved by approaches designed for static users, as a solution would not be obtained within a desired time. Thus, in this paper, we propose a low-complexity computing and communication resource allocation for offloading of real-time computing tasks generated with a high arrival rate by the mobile users. We exploit probabilistic modeling of the users’ movement to pre-allocate the computing resources at base stations and to select suitable communication paths between the users and the base station with the pre …
