TDMA-Based Multi-User Binary Computation Offloading in the Finite-Block-Length Regime

Multi-user computation offloading inherently involves the allocation of communication resources among the offloading devices. Since the devices require timely results, that allocation ought to be guided by the fundamental rate limits for finite block lengths, rather than the classical (asymptotic) limits. We develop an efficient algorithm for such an allocation. It includes a relaxation-rounding approach that is based on a customized …
