Joint Computation Offloading and URLLC Resource Allocation for Collaborative MEC Assisted Cellular-V2X Networks

摘要

By leveraging the 5G enabled V2X networks, the vehicles connected by cellular base-stations can support a wide variety of computation-intensive services. In order to solve the arisen challenges in end-to-end low-latency transmission and backhaul resources, mobile edge computing (MEC) is now regarded as a promising paradigm for 5G-V2X communications. Considering the importance of both reliability and delay in vehicle communication, this article innovatively envisions a joint computation and URLLC resource allocation strategy for collaborative MEC assisted cellular-V2X networks and formulate a jointly power consumption optimization problem while guaranteeing the network stability. To solve this NP hard problem, we decouple it into two sub-problems: URLLC resource allocation for multi-cells to multi-vehicles and computation resource decisions among local vehicle, serving MEC server and collaborative MEC server. Secondly, non-cooperative game and bipartite graph are introduced to reduce the inter-cell interference and decide the channel allocation, which aims to maximize the throughput with a guarantee of reliability in URLLC V2X communication. Then, an online Lyapunov optimization method is proposed to solve computation resource allocation to get a trade-off between the average weighted power consumption and delay where CPU frequency are calculated using Gauss-Seidel method. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate that our proposed strategy can get better trade-off performance among power consumption, overflow probability and execution delay than the one based on centralized MEC assisted V2X.
