Profit maximization in cache-aided intelligent computing networks.

This paper focuses on the profit maximization problem in a reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) aided computing network, where multiple heterogeneous users offload their computational tasks to one computational access point (CAP) for seeking computing acceleration at the cost of profit. In particular, the CAP can also pre-store a part of the computing task to speed up computing, and the system has limited communication and computing resources, where heterogeneous users have different offloading requirements and the CAP can dynamically allocate the system resources to meet the requirements of users to earn profits. To maximize the system profit, we devise the system by proposing a resource allocation scheme which employs a genetic algorithm (GA), based on statistical channel state information (CSI) of wireless links. The proposed algorithm maximizes the long-term profit of the system by optimizing resource allocation among users. Finally, simulation results are provided to verify the proposed scheme. The results show that our proposed resource allocation scheme outperforms the conventional ones.
