Energy efficient operation of mobile/Internet of Things (IoT) devices is a major challenge due to the limited capacity of their batteries. Also, because of their limited processing power, many of them cannot perform computationally intensive applications like face recognition in a timely manner. Device to Device (D2D) communication and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) are two technologies to mitigate these limitations by offloading the computationally intensive tasks. With D2D, mobile/IoT devices can cooperate directly without the intervention of the Base Station. MEC provides computing services at the edge of network, that is close to the user. Most of the current studies on the energy efficient offloading, put the focus either on the offloading to the edge server, or to a device in the proximity. The problem of MEC solution is scalability, because, edge servers would be overloaded in dense networks. On the other hand, to find a proper offloading destination in D2D networks, devices must consume excessive amount of energy. Recently, a few numbers of integrated schemes were proposed to mitigate those problems. However, there is lack of study to propose both MEC and D2D, as the target of offloading tasks for execution while considering the energy required for offloading and its delay. In this work, we study Energy-Efficient and Delay-aware Offloading Scheme (EEDOS). In the proposed scheme, energy constraint devices and those with low computational power, have two options to offload their work. They can either use MEC, or D2D, and the computational power of the edge server is leveraged to find a proper candidate. For EEDOS network topology, we integrate D2D communication capability in the user layer of mobile networks, so that, mobile users can communicate with MEC layer. The research problem is formulated with consideration of the required energy for task offloading and completing the task execution, under the required deadline.
