Abstract
This article examines the cache-enabled high-low-altitude-platforms integrated network (CHLIN), which consists of multiple high-altitude platforms (HAPs) and cacheable low-altitude platforms (LAPs). CHLIN aims to leverage the edge caching, the flexibility of LAPs and the broad coverage and stability of HAPs to realize multi-ground-user content transmission. Considering the low endurance, dynamics, and limited storage capacity of LAPs, a combined optimization of content caching policies, offloading decisions, and HAP-servers and LAP-servers selection is designed to reduce the delay of content transmission while fulfilling users' demand for the quality of service. We transform the complex non-convex optimization problem with highly coupled variables into an equivalent convex problem. Afterward, a genetic-algorithm-embedded distributed alternating direction method of multipliers (GA-DADMM) is proposed, which adopts a distributed architecture for alternating iteration and introduces a genetic algorithm to derive the multi-dimensional and coupled local variables. Simulation results show that GA-DADMM achieves better convergence than the comparison algorithm, which is proper for large-scale optimization problems. The superiority of the proposed edge caching scheme in transmission delay reduction is also validated.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks publishes high-quality papers that extend the classical notions of processing of signals defined over vector spaces (e.g. time and space) to processing of signals and information (data) defined over networks, potentially dynamically varying. In signal processing over networks, the topology of the network may define structural relationships in the data, or may constrain processing of the data. Topics include distributed algorithms for filtering, detection, estimation, adaptation and learning, model selection, data fusion, and diffusion or evolution of information over such networks, and applications of distributed signal processing.
