On-demand offloading collaboration framework based on LTE network virtualisation
Recently, there has been a significant increase in data traffic on mobile networks, due to the growth in the numbers of users and the average data volume per user. In a context of traffic surge and reduced revenues, operators face the challenge of finding costless solutions to increase capacity and …

Multi-criteria decision support for energy-efficient IoT edge computing offloading
Computation offloading is one of the primary technological enablers of the Internet of Things (IoT), as it helps address individual devices’ resource restrictions (e.g. process- ing and memory). In the past, offloading would always utilise remote cloud infrastruc- tures, but the increasing size of …

Joint Task Offloading and Resource Allocation for Mobile Cloud with Computing Access Point
… The existing works either optimize only the offloading decisions of tasks without the resource allocation for three-tier systems, or consider only the two-tier systems with mobile users and the remote (or nearby) processor. Instead, for a general three-tier system, we jointly consider both …

Co-processor offloading applied to passive coherent location with Doppler and bearing data
This project dealt with the acceleration of an aircraft tracking algorithm using a ClearSpeed mathematical co-processor. The algorithm is based on non-linear differential correction (also known as the Gauss-Newton method) and uses Doppler and bearing data from a Passive Coherent Location (PCL) …
