Abstract
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has emerged as new computing paradigm to improve the QoS of users' applications. A challenge in MEC is computation (task/data) offloading, whose goal is to enhance the mobile devices' capabilities to face the requirements of new applications. Computation offloading faces the challenges of where and when to offload data to perform computing (analytics) tasks. In this paper, we tackle this problem by adopting the principles of Optimal Stopping Theory contributing with two time-optimized sequential decision making models. A performance evaluation is provided using real world data sets compared with baseline deterministic and stochastic models. The results show that our approach optimizes such decision in single user and competitive users scenarios.
