Cloud Server Job Selection and Scheduling in Mobile Computation Offloading

In this paper we consider a system that uses computation offloading, where an infrastructure-based cloud server executes jobs on behalf of a set of mobile devices. In this type of system, mobile job completion times include the latency needed for uploading to the cloud server. Since the processed jobs are subject to hard deadline constraints, this can introduce energy unfairness where mobile devices with poor channel conditions do not fully …
