Abstract

A method of managing task offloading to edge servers in a multi-access edge computing (MEC) system includes receiving, by a task broker implemented at a host management level of the MEC system, a task offloading request from a UE application, analyzing, by the task broker, resource requirements of a task of the task offloading request and running a forecasting mechanism that determines whether the task offloading request will eventually be dropped or not by a system management level of the MEC system. The task broker, based on the determination of the forecasting mechanism, either rejects or provisionally admits the task offloading request.
