description Abstract In recent years, mobile edge computing (MEC) has become a promising solution to solve the shortage of technical resources in wireless body area networks (WBANs). However, the existing research work has not fully utilized the communication and computing resources in WBANs scenarios. To solve this problem, a task offloading framework that combined with cellular, WiFi networks and device‐to‐device communications is proposed, that makes full use of resources to improve system reliability. Considering that a single MEC server may be overloaded by a large number of patients, the total task offloading cost and load variance is formulated into a multi‐objective optimization problem (MOOP). A non‐dominated sorting genetic algorithm with smart mobile device ‐ patient connection matrix (NSGA ‐SPCM) to solve the MOOP. In view that an SDM may connect multiple patients at the same time during chromosome crossing, the SPCM can quickly detect the unfeasible gene location and mutate it into viable. Simulation results show that the proposed framework and algorithm have good performance.
