Mobile edge computing (MEC) is considered a promising technique that prolongs battery life and enhances the computation capacity of mobile devices (MDs) by offloading computation-intensive tasks to the resource-rich cloud located at the edges of mobile networks. In this study, the problem of energy-efficient computation offloading with guaranteed performance in multiuser MEC systems was investigated. Given that MDs typically seek lower energy consumption and improve the performance of computing tasks, we provide an energy-efficient computation offloading and transmit power allocation scheme that reduces energy consumption and completion time. We formulate the energy efficiency cost minimization problem, which satisfies the completion time deadline constraint of MDs in an MEC system. In addition, the corresponding Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions are applied to solve the optimization problem, and a new algorithm comprising the computation offloading policy and transmission power allocation is presented. Numerical results demonstrate that our proposed scheme, with the optimal computation offloading policy and adapted transmission power for MDs, outperforms local computing and full offloading methods in terms of energy consumption and completion delay. Consequently, our proposed system could help overcome the restrictions on computation resources and battery life of mobile devices to meet the requirements of new applications.

The Electronic Communication Committee (ECC) in Europe proposed a location-based transmission power allocation rule for secondary devices operating in the TV white space (TVWS). The further the secondary device is located from the TV cell border the higher transmission power level it can utilize. The Federal Communication Committee (FCC) in the US proposed a fixed transmission power allocation rule for all secondary transmitters. Both rules do not consider the secondary system’s self-interference while setting the transmission power levels. In this paper, we propose a power allocation scheme for a cellular secondary system. Unlike the ECC and the FCC proposals we do the power allocation by considering the self-interference. We define the power allocation scheme as an optimization problem. The sum cell border data rate of the secondary network is selected to be the optimization objective. We observe that the optimal transmission power levels become approximately constant over the secondary deployment area. The FCC rule captures the general trend for cellular deployment in the TVWS, since it suggests the use of constant power. However, the transmission power should not be set equal to 4 W but according to the allowable generated interference at the borders of the TV and secondary cells.

In recent years, due to the strong mobility, easy deployment, and low cost of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), great interest has arisen in utilizing UAVs to assist in wireless communication, especially for on-demand deployment in emergency situations and temporary events. However, UAVs can only provide users with data transmission services through wireless backhaul links established with a ground base station, and the limited capacity of the wireless backhaul link would limit the transmission speed of UAVs. Therefore, this paper designed a UAV-assisted wireless communication system that used cache technology and realized the transmission of multi-user data by using the mobility of UAVs and wireless cache technology. Considering the limited storage space and energy of UAVs, the joint optimization problem of the UAV’s trajectory, cache placement, and transmission power was established to minimize the mission time of the UAV. Since this problem was a non-convex problem, it was decomposed into three sub-problems: trajectory optimization, cache placement optimization, and power allocation optimization. An iterative algorithm based on the successive convex approximation and alternate optimization techniques was proposed to solve these three optimization problems. Finally, in the power allocation optimization, the proposed algorithm was improved by changing the optimization objective function. Numerical results showed that the algorithm had good performance and could effectively reduce the task completion time of the UAV.
