【 摘 要 】

In this paper, we aim to provide reliable user connectivity and enhanced security for computation task offloading. Physical layer security is studied in a wireless-powered non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) mobile edge computing (MEC) system with a nonlinear energy-harvesting (EH) user and a power beacon (PB) in the presence of an eavesdropper. To further provide a friendly environment resource allocation design, wireless power transfer (WPT) is applied. The secure computation efficiency (SCE) problem is solved by jointly optimizing the transmission power, the time allocations for energy transfer, the computation time, and the central processing unit (CPU) frequency in the NOMA-enabled MEC system. The problem is non-convex and challenging to solve because of the complexity of the objective function in meeting constraints that ensure the required quality of service, such as the minimum value of computed bits, limitations on total energy consumed by users, maximum CPU frequency, and minimum harvested energy and computation offloading times. Therefore, in this paper, a low-complexity particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based algorithm is proposed to solve this optimization problem. For comparison purposes, time division multiple access and fully offloading baseline schemes are investigated. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach over baseline schemes.
