A Resource Crowd Funding Model Based on Cooperative Game in Fog Computing

Compared with cloud computing, fog computing has a better performance on location-awareness, mobility support, and time delay. However, the resource quantity and resource types owned by the fog node are relatively limited, which cannot meet the demand of high-performance computing tasks. The scheme of resource sharing can resolve this problem. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a new resource sharing scheme called resource crowd funding based on cooperative game, which can realize the resource sharing among different fog computing nodes. The resource utilization rate has increased and the fog nodes can acquire additional rewards through task cooperation in this new model, which can be shown in the simulations.
