Genetic Algorithm-Driven Joint Optimization of Task Offloading and Resource Allocation for Fairness-Aware Latency Minimization in Mobile Edge Computing by Mohamed Elkawkagy, Ibrahim A. Elgendy, Samia Allaoua Chelloug, Heba Elbeh

“…Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) alleviates latency and bandwidth strain on centralized cloud infrastructures by enabling the offloading of tasks to proximal edge servers, yet resource optimization in dense dynamic networks remains an open problem. This paper proposes a genetic algorithm (GA)-based approach to jointly optimize three important parameters: 1) the proportion of tasks offloaded to mobile edge servers (MES), 2) channel bandwidth allocation, and 3) computational resource allocation, in order to minimize the total task completion time with fairness among user devices (UDs). …”
