Title
The Transmit-Energy vs Computation-Delay Trade-Off in Gateway-Selection for Heterogenous Cloud Aided Multi-UAV Systems
Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in a range of compelling applications. In this paper, we integrate both the networking techniques and the cloud computing tasks of multi-UAV systems. We commence by proposing an energy efficient scheme for selecting the gateway of UAVs invoked for relaying data to the heterogenous cloud. Then, relying on queuing theory and Lyapunov optimization, we strike a power-delay trade-off by jointly optimizing the computational task scheduling and resource allocation in the heterogeneous cloud architecture, which is comprised of an edge cloud and a powerful remote cloud. We analyze the optimal resource-allocation strategy for each time slot and an iterative algorithm is conceived for reducing the computational complexity. Finally, our numerical results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme. © 1972-2012 IEEE.
