To handle spatially<br \/>\nuneven computation workloads in the network, cooperation<br \/>\namong SBSs via workload peer offloading is essential to avoid<br \/>\nlarge computation latency at overloaded SBSs and provide high<br \/>\nquality of service to end users. However, performing effective peer<br \/>\noffloading faces many unique challenges due to limited energy<br \/>\nresources committed by self-interested SBS owners, uncertainties<br \/>\nin the system dynamics, and co-provisioning of radio access and<br \/>\ncomputing services. This paper develops a novel online SBS<br \/>\npeer offloading framework, called online peer offloading (OPEN),<br \/>\nby leveraging the Lyapunov technique, in order to maximize the<br \/>\nlong-term system performance while keeping the energy consumption<br \/>\nof SBSs below individual long-term constraints. OPEN<br \/>\nworks online without requiring information about future system<br \/>\ndynamics, yet provides provably near-optimal performance<br \/>\ncompared with the oracle solution that has the complete future<br \/>\ninformation. In addition, this paper formulates a peer offloading<br \/>\ngame among SBSs and analyzes its equilibrium and efficiency<br \/>\nloss in terms of the price of anarchy to thoroughly understand<br \/>\nSBSs\u2019 strategic behaviors, thereby enabling decentralized and<br \/>\nautonomous peer offloading decision making. Extensive simulations<br \/>\nare carried out and show that peer offloading among SBSs<br \/>\ndramatically improves the edge computing performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/niulab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/\u5468\u76dbComputation-peer-offloading-for-energy-constrained-mobile-edge1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-117\" title=\"pdf\" src=\"https:\/\/network.ee.tsinghua.edu.cn\/niulab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/pdf.gif\"alt=\"\" width=\"95\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a>Lixing Chen, Sheng Zhou, and Jie Xu, Computation peer offloading for energy-constrained mobile edge computing in small-cell networks, <span class=\"papersource\">IEEE\/ACM Trans.
