Abstract: The latency of cloud computing is high for the reason that it is far from terminal users. Edge computing can transfer computing from the center to the network edge. However, the problem of load balancing among different edge nodes still needs to be solved. In this paper, we propose a load balancing strategy by task allocation in edge computing based on intermediary nodes. The intermediary node is used to monitor the global information to obtain the real-time attributes of the edge nodes and complete the classification evaluation. First, edge nodes can be classified to three categories (light-load, normal-load, and heavy-load), according to their inherent attributes and real-time attributes. Then, we propose a task assignment model and allocate new tasks to the relatively lightest load node. Experiments show that our method can balance load among edge nodes and reduce the completion time of tasks.
