Joint energy and latency optimization for upstream IoT offloading services in fog radio access networks

초록

Recently, the emergence of fog computing and big internet of things (IoT) data have been considered as the main representatives identifying fifth-generation mobile networks. In fifth generation, cloudization is extended from the core to the access tiers, referred to as fog radio access networks. Fog radio access networks provide ultralow latency offloading services to a massive number of IoT devices in their proximity. In this paper, we propose a joint energy and latency optimization (JELO) scheme for upstream IoT offloading services in fog radio access networks. The JELO scheme controls the offloaded task assignment among fog-enabled eNodeBs (fog nodes) with strict consideration of the systematic resources and specific characteristics of individual tasks. The joint objective function aims at red optimizing the energy red consumption and offload latency for entire networks. Simulation results demonstrate that the JELO scheme outperforms existing approaches in terms of the energy consumption and load balancing while maintaining IoT service satisfaction. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
