Abstract
With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, cloudlet-based wireless metropolitan area network, which provides people with more convenient network services, has become an effiective paradigm to meet the growing demand for requirements of wireless cloud computing. Currently, the energy consumption of cloudlets can be reduced by migrating tasks, but how to jointly optimize the time consumption and energy consumption in the process of migrations is still a significant problem. In this paper, a alanced loudlet anagement method, named BCM, is proposed to address the above challenge. Technically, the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) and Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques are applied to optimize virtual machine scheduling strategy. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.
