Joint Task Offloading and Resource Allocation for Fog-Based Intelligent Transportation Systems: A UAV-Enabled Multi-Hop Collaboration Paradigm
Abstrak
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) due to their rapid deployment and high mobility, which are considered as a promising solution to expand the scope of communication, especially in inaccessible areas. However, there is a lack of a universal and extensible multi-hop collaboration model in the existing research on UAV-involved ITS. In this paper, we innovatively introduce a novel UAV-enabled multi-hop collaborative fog computing (FC) system model, in which several moving UAVs with unpredictable locations provide effective and efficient communication and computation services for ground user equipments (UEs). With this model, we mathematically formulate a joint user association, UAV association, task offloading, transmission power, computation resource allocation, and UAV location optimization problem, which is a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem and challenging to deal with. To solve the non-convex problem, we propose a novel multi-hop collaborative algorithm to derive the optimal task offloading and resource allocation decisions for each UAV. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the UAV-enabled multi-hop collaborative FC system and validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
