Abstract

Mobile edge computing is a key feature of next-generation mobile networks aimed at providing a variety of services for different applications by performing related processing tasks closer to the user equipment. Due to the high frame loss rate during multi-hop transmissions in wireless edge computing networks, the problem of reliability and system safety will be of great importance. Data caching is a necessity to provide reliable edge computing and, at the same time a major consumer of energy. So, we propose a reliable mobile edge computing system using active caching and robust resource allocation approaches. This paper presents an energy-efficient stochastic network calculus framework to control edge-computing data flows for active data-caching systems. In accordance with the entrance processes of different QoS-class data streams, closed-form problems were formulated to determine the correlation between resource utilization and the violation probability of each data flow. Also, in the access layer, this paper proposes a reliable user association and resource allocation approach which maximizes the overall energy efficiency of cache-enabled cellular networks in addition to improving system safety. In this energy-cooperative approach, the power can be shared among the cells using a grid network. The simulation results show that the proposed approach can effectively increase the network reliability and power efficiency while guaranteeing the acceptable fairness level for uniform and hotspot user distribution models. The numerical results also exhibit considerable power saving for different traffic models in addition to increasing the total network throughput by up to 25%.
