description With the Internet of Things (IoT) development, there is an increasing demand for multi-service scheduling for Mobile Edge Computing (MEC). We propose using polling for scheduling in edge computing to accommodate multi-service scheduling methods better. Given the complexity of asymmetric polling systems, we have used an information-theoretic approach to analyse the model. Firstly, we propose an asymmetric two-level scheduling approach with priority based on a polling scheduling approach. Secondly, the mathematical model of the system in the continuous time state is established by using the embedded Markov chain theory and the probability-generating function. By solving for the probability-generating function’s first-order partial and second-order partial derivatives, we calculate the exact expressions of the average queue length, the average polling period, and the average delay with an approximate analysis of periodic query way. Finally, we design a simulation experiment to verify that our derived parameters are correct. Our proposed model can better differentiate priorities in MEC scheduling and meet the needs of IoT multi-service scheduling.
