The integration of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and Wireless Power Transfer (WPT), which is usually referred to as Wireless Powered Mobile Edge Computing (WP-MEC), has been recognized as a promising technique to enhance the lifetime and computation capacity of wireless devices (WDs). Compared to the conventional battery-powered MEC networks, WP-MEC brings new challenges to the computation scheduling problem because we have to jointly optimize the resource allocation in WPT and computation offloading. In this paper, we consider the energy minimization problem for WP-MEC networks with multiple WDs and multiple access points. We design an online algorithm by transforming the original problem into a series of deterministic optimization problems based on the Lyapunov optimization theory. To reduce the time complexity of our algorithm, the optimization problem is relaxed and decomposed into several independent subproblems. After solving each subproblem, we adjust the computed values of variables to obtain a feasible solution. Extensive simulations are conducted to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm.
Future IoT networks consist of heterogeneous types of IoT devices (with various communication types and energy constraints) which are assumed to belong to an IoT service provider (ISP). To power backscattering-based and wireless-powered devices, the

One of the limitations of wireless sensor nodes is their inherent limited energy resource. Besides maximizing the lifetime of the sensor node, it is preferable to distribute the energy dissipated throughout the wireless sensor network in order to min
Interactive applications with automated feedback will largely influence the design of future networked infrastructures. In such applications, status information about an environment of interest is captured and forwarded to a compute node, which analy
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
