Resource allocation based on optimal transport theory in IoT edge computing by Qi ZHANG, Yuna JIANG, Xiaohu GE, Yonghui LI

“…With the development of the Internet of things (IoT) and edge computing, the computation-intensive tasks of IoT devices can be offloaded to edge devices and processed at the edge of networks.Due to the variation of the distribution and computation requirements of IoT devices, the computation resources of edge networks need to be managed dynamically.The optimal transport theory was adopted to optimize the computation resources allocation in IoT networks.An optimized regional partition mechanism was proposed based on the distribution of IoT devices and locations of edge computing devices.Under constraints on the computing capabilities of edge computing devices, the energy consumption and delay of IoT devices were optimized.The simulation results show that, compared with the traditional Voronoi partition scheme, the proposed optimization mechanism shows better balance.The average transmitting power can be reduced by 21% and the average delay can be reduced by 45%.…”

Age of information-oriented sampling and power control in vehicular status update networks by Jianhua ZENG, Chongtao GUO, Cheng GUO

“…In a vehicular status update network based on broadcast communication, a D/Geo/1/1 queuing mechanism with minimum timestamp priority was adopted to transmit data packets.The queuing theory was used to analyze the age-ofinformation (AoI) outage probability of the receivers and the average transmit power of the transmitter.Based on the monotonicity of the AoI outage probability with respect to packet sampling rate and transmit power, an iterative algorithm for jointly optimizing sampling rate and transmit power was proposed to minimize the maximum AoI outage probability of all receivers under power constraint, which fairly improved information freshness of all receivers under sampling and power control.Simulation results verify the accuracy of theoretical analysis and the efficiency of the algorithm.…”
