...One possible solution to overcome these limitations is the use of Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) which allows the UEs to offload their computation-intensive tasks to be processed on applications deployed on a powerful, centralized remote cloud accessible via the Internet or a core network of a mobile operator, thus, expanding the capability of mobile devices [2], [8]....

...While some work in the literature focused on determining the edge server to which each task should be offloaded and the computing resources it needs to be allocated [6], [13]–[16], others addressed the joint problem of task offloading and scheduling either through stochastic optimization [9], [17] or using algorithmic solutions [8], [18], [19]....
