User on-Demand Driven MEC Servers Deployment From Collaborative Device-Edge-Cloud Network
With the rapid development of 6 G communication technology and the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile edge computing (MEC) is regarded as an effective paradigm of providing low-delay, high-quality services to mobile users. In the IoT device-edge-cloud network, the optimal deployment of MEC servers is a prerequisite for a better task offloading, while the improved performance of mobile users task offloading also indicates the deployment scheme is optimal. Most of current MEC servers deployment studies focus on reducing delay and deployment costs, but ignore the offloading requirements of mobile users with similar task type and cooperative relationship arriving at the same community. In this paper, we study the MEC servers deployment driven by the task offloading requirements of community mobile users in current period by utilizing the stability of their social cooperative relationships to maximize the service satisfaction of all community mobile users in the future task offloading. First, the cooperative relationship strength between mobile users is measured to form a group of resource requesters based on interaction probability, movement trajectory and credit strength. Then, we implement the optimal search of base stations (BSs) using spatial index, followed by the one-to-many matching theory between BSs and community group resource requesters, to balance the load of BSs and reduce the communication delay between them. Finally, we use TD($\lambda$) algorithm and task similarity between cooperative users to deploy MEC servers with suitable resources around BSs so that the deployment scheme can significantly improve the future task offloading performance of all community mobile users. Based on the real data set provided by Shanghai Telecom, it is confirmed that the proposed scheme has significant advantages in improving all community mobile users service satisfaction, with an average improvement of 18.49% compared with the baselines.
