Abstract:
Fog computing is an emerging paradigm that brings the computing capabilities close to distributed IoT devices, which provides networking services between end devices and traditional cloud data centers. One important mission is to further reduce the monetary cost of fog resources while meeting the ever-growing demand of multiple users. In this paper, we focus on minimizing the total cost for multiple mobile users to provide an efficient resource provisioning scheme in fog computing. The total cost includes two aspects: the replication cost and the transmission cost. We consider two cases for the resource provision problem by focusing on different cost models. First, one simple case where users can only upload one replication is discussed, and an optimal solution is proposed by converting the original problem into one of bipartite graph matching. Then we consider a more complicated case that each user can upload multiple replications on fog nodes in the resource provisioning. For different transmission cost models, the transmission cost is related to the distance of each pair of fog nodes. This problem is proven to be NP-hard. We first propose a non-adaptive algorithm which is proved to be bounded by 2/3 W + 1/3 OPT. Another 3+ epsilon-approximation algorithm is proposed based on local search, which has better performance with higher complexity. Extensive simulations also prove the efficiency of our schemes.
