Method for supporting adaptive unloading of multi-internet of things (iot) applications in edge environment

Abstract

A method for supporting adaptive unloading of multi-Internet of Things (IoT) applications in an edge environment includes: constructing an application compliant with a universal program structure supporting on-demand computing unloading; for the application compliant with the universal program structure supporting on-demand computing unloading, extracting a program fragment flowchart through static code analysis to provide internal flow information of the application for generation of an unloading solution; analyzing a peripheral mobile edge computing (MEC) environment and the application through an unloading solution generating algorithm based on a multi-task particle swarm optimization-genetic algorithm to obtain the optimal unloading solution; and performing, by the application, computing unloading by taking a service as a particle size according to the unloading solution to minimize a system overhead under a circumstance that a deadline constraint of each application is satisfied. The method supports the computing unloading of different types of applications in the MEC environment.
