Abstract The main function of the power communication business is to monitor, control and manage the power communication network to ensure normal and stable operation of the power communication network. Communication services related to dispatching data networks and the transmission of fault information or feeder automation have high requirements for delay. If processing time is prolonged, a power business cascade reaction may be triggered. In order to solve the above problems, this paper establishes an edge object-linked agent business deployment model for power communication network to unify the management of data collection, resource allocation and task scheduling within the system, realizes… More >

Abstract Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is proposed to solve the needs of Internet of Things (IoT) users for high resource utilization, high reliability and low latency of service requests. However, the backup virtual machine is idle when its primary virtual machine is running normally, which will waste resources. Overbooking the backup virtual machine under the above circumstances can effectively improve resource utilization. First, these virtual machines are deployed into slots randomly, and then some tasks with cooperative relationship are offloaded to virtual machines for processing. Different deployment locations have different resource utilization and average service response time. We want to find… More >

Abstract Fog computing is an emergent and powerful computing paradigm to serve latency-sensitive applications by executing internet of things (IoT) applications in the proximity of the network. Fog computing offers computational and storage services between cloud and terminal devices. However, an efficient resource allocation to execute the IoT applications in a fog environment is still challenging due to limited resource availability and low delay requirement of services. A large number of heterogeneous shareable resources makes fog computing a complex environment. In the sight of these issues, this paper has proposed an efficient levy flight firefly-based resource allocation technique. The levy flight… More >

Abstract Due to their adaptability, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play an essential role in the Internet of Things (IoT). Using wireless power transfer (WPT) techniques, an UAV can be supplied with energy while in flight, thereby extending the lifetime of this energy-constrained device. This paper investigates the optimization of resource allocation in light of the fact that power transfer and data transmission cannot be performed simultaneously. In this paper, we propose an optimization strategy for the resource allocation of UAVs in sensor communication networks. It is a practical solution to the problem of marine sensor networks that are located far from… More >

Abstract Cold-chain logistics system (CCLS) plays the role of collecting and managing the logistics data of frozen food. However, there always exist problems of information loss, data tampering, and privacy leakage in traditional centralized systems, which influence frozen food security and people’s health. The centralized management form impedes the development of the cold-chain logistics industry and weakens logistics data availability. This paper first introduces a distributed CCLS based on blockchain technology to solve the centralized management problem. This system aggregates the production base, storage, transport, detection, processing, and consumer to form a cold-chain logistics union. The blockchain ledger guarantees that the… More >

Abstract Cloud computing makes dynamic resource provisioning more accessible. Monitoring a functioning service is crucial, and changes are made when particular criteria are surpassed. This research explores the decentralized multi-cloud environment for allocating resources and ensuring the Quality of Service (QoS), estimating the required resources, and modifying allotted resources depending on workload and parallelism due to resources. Resource allocation is a complex challenge due to the versatile service providers and resource providers. The engagement of different service and resource providers needs a cooperation strategy for a sustainable quality of service. The objective of a coherent and rational resource allocation is to… More >

Abstract The computational complexity of resource allocation processes, in cognitive radio networks (CRNs), is a major issue to be managed. Furthermore, the complicated solution of the optimal algorithm for handling resource allocation in CRNs makes it unsuitable to adopt in real-world applications where both cognitive users, CRs, and primary users, PUs, exist in the identical geographical area. Hence, this work offers a primarily price-based power algorithm to reduce computational complexity in uplink scenarios while limiting interference to PUs to allowable threshold. Hence, this paper, compared to other frameworks proposed in the literature, proposes a two-step approach to reduce the complexity of… More >

Abstract In a cellular network, direct Device-to-Device (D2D) communication enhances Quality of Service (QoS) in terms of coverage, throughput and amount of power consumed. Since the D2D pairs involve cellular resources for communication, the chances of interference are high. D2D communications demand minimum interference along with maximum throughput and sum rate which can be achieved by employing optimal resources and efficient power allocation procedures. In this research, a hybrid optimization model called Genetic Algorithm-Adaptive Bat Optimization (GA-ABO) algorithm is proposed for efficient resource allocation in a cellular network with D2D communication. Simulation analysis demonstrates that the proposed model involves reduced interference… More >
