To satisfy the growing demand of users, base stations are deployed densely in highly populated areas. Coordinated Multipoint Transmission (CoMP) allows users to connect to multiple base stations simultaneously. In ultra-dense networks, by offloading the partials of tasks to different base stations, users can achieve lower latency and utilize the computation ability of the surrounding base stations. To control the signaling overhead, the number of base stations that can be connected should be limited. In this paper, we propose a user-centric base station assignment algorithm by considering the possible load of base stations. Moreover, a partial task offloading algorithm is proposed to utilize the computation of under-loaded base stations. Resource allocation is then solved by convex optimization.}, }
