Outage Probability Analysis for UAV-Aided Mobile Edge Computing Networks

This paper studies one typical mobile edge computing (MEC) system, where a single user has some intensively calculating tasks to be computed by M nodes (ENs) with much more powerful capability. In particular, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can act as the ENs due its flexibility and high mobility in deployment. For this we propose several EN selection criteria improve system whole performance of computation communication. Specifically, criterion I selects best based on maximizing received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at EN, II performs according most capability, while III chooses randomly. each criterion, perform evaluation analyzing outage probability (OP) through deriving analytical expressions. From these expressions, obtain meaningful insights regarding how design MEC system. We finally simulation results demonstrate effectiveness proposed network. exploit full diversity order equal M.
