Mobile edge computing (MEC) is one of the key technologies to achieve high bandwidth, low latency and reliable service in fifth generation (5G) networks. In order to better evaluate the performance of the probabilistic offloading strategy in a MEC system, we give a modeling method to capture the sto...
