Abstract
The implementation of Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture in Internet of Things (IoT) systems has garnered significant attention as a means to fulfill the stringent requirements of ultra-low latency and ultra-low energy consumption in future IoT systems. Although the traditional edge network architecture has been extensively employed, it continues to pose challenges in terms of synchronizing the integration of global and local information for the design of an optimal offloading strategy in edge servers, thus hindering the reduction of latency and energy consumption in IoT devices. In an effort to decrease the latency and energy consumption of IoT devices (IoTDs), we propose a computation offloading problem and employs the Successive Convex Approximation (SCA) algorithm to convert the non-convex problem into a convex problem. The proposed strategy aims to minimize the energy consumption of IoTDs while ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. The results of the experiment demonstrate that the average energy consumption of terminal devices can be reduced by 20%. Additionally, this strategy is found to be more effective in reducing IoTDs' latency and energy consumption as compared to the traditional edge network architecture.
