A fundamental issue in multiaccess edge computing (MEC) is efficiently offloading multiple tasks to helper nodes (MTMH), i.e., MEC servers. However, most of the existing decentralized schemes do not consider interuser interference or merely adopt time division access (TDMA) as scheme for MTMH heterogeneous scenario, leading a large latency. To address these issues, we propose DOT, novel Decentralized Offloading Tasks orthogonal frequency (OFDMA)-based MEC, minimize sum cost terms energy...
