Abstract

The mobile devices have resource limitation and limited battery life, hence, the users may prefer to offload exhaustive computation. In such a case, there may be various issues such as resource heterogeneity, mobility, network connectivity, amount of communication and computation etc., which makes it challenging to provide low latency offloading and low energy consumption of the user device. This chapter discusses on various factors for multi-objective decision making regarding offloading, and various multi criterial decision making models, which can be applied in offloading.
