Distributed energy-efficient and secure offloading in air-to-ground MEC networks

Abstract This paper mainly investigates the energy-efficient and secure offloading problem in air-to-ground Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) networks. The proposed efficient offloading mechanism is as per the requirements of the heterogeneous tasks of ground users. Further, the optimizing offloading rate...
