The original optimization problem was decomposed into two sub-problems,i.e.,the joint transmit power and sub-channel allocation sub-problem and the MEC computing frequency allocation sub-problem,upon the analysis of the restriction of communication and computation resources to the delay and energy consumption performances. The optimal MEC computing frequency was directly derived in the closed form by the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition. In addition,an efficient bisection method based transmit power allocation algorithm and a bipartite graph matching based sub-channel allocation algorithm were proposed,respectively. Numerical simulation results showed that,the proposed algorithm could improve the task offloading utility remarkably when compared with some traditional algorithms. %U https://journal.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.13190/j.jbupt.2019-093
