Abstract
This paper investigates the peak age of information (PAoI) violation probability and mean PAoI of computation offloading strategies in multi-access edge computing-enabled (MEC-enabled) industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) networks. In particular, a comprehensive PAoI analysis framework for computation offloading strategies is proposed in this work. Through closed-form cumulative distribution function (CDF) expressions derived for received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios (SINRs) and PAoI arising from tandem M/M/1 queues, new closed-form expressions for PAoI violation probability and mean PAoI are obtained for the uplink timeliness-aware (UTA), joint uplink-and-computing timeliness-aware (JUCTA), and cloud-only (CL) computation offloading strategies. Extensive analysis demonstrate that the proposed UTA and JUCTA strategies outperform the CL strategy in MEC-enabled IIoT networks and are thus viable to support mission-critical IIoT applications. Crucially, it is also shown that the PAoI violation probability and mean PAoI of the considered computation offloading strategies hinges greatly on computation delay, communications radius, and task generation rates.
期刊介绍:
The proposed journal, called the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering (TNSE), is committed to timely publishing of peer-reviewed technical articles that deal with the theory and applications of network science and the interconnections among the elements in a system that form a network. In particular, the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering publishes articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks at the fundamental level. The types of networks covered include physical or engineered networks, information networks, biological networks, semantic networks, economic networks, social networks, and ecological networks. Aimed at discovering common principles that govern network structures, network functionalities and behaviors of networks, the journal seeks articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks. Another trans-disciplinary focus of the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering is the interactions between and co-evolution of different genres of networks.
