Provided with mobile edge computing (MEC) services, wireless devices (WDs) no longer have to experience long latency in running their desired programs locally, but can pay to offload computation tasks to the edge server. Given its limited storage space, it is important for the edge server at the base station (BS) to determine which service programs to cache by meeting and guiding WDs offloading decisions. In this paper, we propose an MEC service pricing scheme to coordinate with the service caching decisions and control WDs task offloading behavior. We propose a two-stage dynamic game of incomplete information to model and analyze the two-stage interaction between the BS and multiple associated WDs. Specifically, in Stage I, the BS determines the MEC service caching and announces the service program prices to the WDs, with the objective to maximize its expected profit under both storage and computation resource constraints. In Stage II, given the prices of different service programs, each WD selfishly decides its offloading decision to minimize individual service delay and cost, without knowing the other WDs desired program types or local execution delays. Despite the lack of WDs information and the coupling of all the WDs offloading decisions, we derive the optimal threshold-based offloading policy that can be easily adopted by the WDs in Stage II at the Bayesian equilibrium. Then, by predicting the WDs offloading equilibrium, we jointly optimize the BS pricing and service caching in Stage I via a low-complexity algorithm. In particular, we study both the uniform and differentiated pricing schemes. For differentiated pricing, we prove that the same price should be charged to the cached programs of the same workload.
While mobile edge computing (MEC) alleviates the computation and power limitations of mobile devices, additional latency is incurred when offloading tasks to remote MEC servers. In this work, the power-delay tradeoff in the context of task offloading

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is proposed to boost high-efficient and time-sensitive 5G applications. However, the microburst may occur even in lightly-loaded scenarios, which leads to the indeterministic service latency (i.e., unpredictable delay or d
Recently, Mobile-Edge Computing (MEC) has arisen as an emerging paradigm that extends cloud-computing capabilities to the edge of the Radio Access Network (RAN) by deploying MEC servers right at the Base Stations (BSs). In this paper, we envision a c
