Title
Delay-Optimized Resource Allocation in Fog-Based Vehicular Networks
Abstract
As a typical and prominent component of the Internet of Things, vehicular communication and the corresponding vehicular networks (VNETs) are promising to improve spectral efficiency, decrease transmission delay, and increase reliability. The ever-increasing number of vehicles and the demand of passengers/drivers for rich multimedium services bring key challenges to VNETs, which requiring huge capacity, ultralow delay, and ultrahigh reliability. To meet these performance requirements, a fog computing-based VNET is presented in this article, where the resource allocation as the corresponding key technique is researched. In particular, joint optimization of user association and radio resource allocation scheme is investigated to minimize the transmission delay of the concerned VNET. The proposed optimization problem is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear program and transformed into a convex problem by Perron–Frobenius theory and a weighted minimum mean square error method. Numerical results show that the proposed solution can significantly reduce the transmission delay with fast convergence.
