Abstract

In 5G and beyond, newly emerging services, such as edge computing/intelligence services, may demand the provisioning of heterogeneous communications, computing, and storage (CCS) resources on and across network entities multiple hops apart. In such cases, traditional resource-oriented auction schemes, where buyers place bids on resources, may not be effective in providing end-to-end (E2E) quality of service (QoS) guarantees. To overcome these limitations, in this article, we discuss the concept of E2E service auction where the auction commodities are E2E services rather than a certain resource. Under this framework, buyers simply bid for services with E2E QoS requirements without having to know the inner working (how to select and valuate resources behind). To guarantee E2E QoS for winning bids while ensuring essential economic properties, E2E service auction requires addressing the joint problem of network optimization and auction design with both economic and QoS constraints. To substantiate the mechanism design, we illustrate how to devise E2E service auctions for edge computing systems under various scenarios. We also identify the research opportunities on E2E service auction mechanism design for other critical use cases, including edge intelligence.

从资源拍卖到服务拍卖：无线网络拍卖模式的转变

在5G及以后，新兴的服务，如边缘计算/智能服务，可能需要在相隔多跳的网络实体上和跨网络实体提供异构通信、计算和存储(CCS)资源。在这种情况下，传统的面向资源的拍卖方案(买家对资源进行出价)可能无法有效地提供端到端(E2E)服务质量(QoS)保证。为了克服这些限制，在本文中，我们讨论了端到端服务拍卖的概念，其中拍卖的商品是端到端服务而不是某种资源。在这个框架下，买家只需竞标具有端到端QoS要求的服务，而无需了解其内部工作原理(如何选择和评估背后的资源)。为了保证中标的端到端服务质量，同时保证基本的经济属性，端到端服务拍卖需要同时解决经济约束和QoS约束下的网络优化和拍卖设计问题。为了验证机制设计，我们说明了如何在各种场景下为边缘计算系统设计端到端服务拍卖。我们还为其他关键用例(包括边缘智能)确定了端到端服务拍卖机制设计的研究机会。
