Abstract: In recent decades, the 5G and internet of things (IoT) are occupied with several applications like face recognition, traffic control, video surveillance and telecommunication, etc. Mobile-edge computing (MEC) is a promising paradigm in wireless communication which is carried by the computational scheduling of mobile devices. To enhance the computation design, the AlexNet of the DL model is applied which is based on the convolutional neural network (CNN) used to train a large number of attributes. To provide an optimal solution, the metaheuristics algorithm of grey wolf optimisation (GWO) is combined with an AlexNet which is named a novel grey wolf optimisation-based AlexNet (GWOAN) algorithm. In the proposed GWOAN algorithm, the AlexNet hyperparameters (weights, biases and other parameters) are fine-tuned by GWO and then performed a classification. As a result, the GWOAN has achieved a higher scheduling task and low latency than the standard AlexNet, ResNet-18 and VGGNet-16 respectively.

Keywords: mobile-edge computing; MEC; AlexNet hyperparameter; fine-tuning; scheduling task decision; power control; latency.
