    Abstract Large-scale IoT applications with dozens of thousands of geo-distributed IoT devices creating enormous volumes of data pose a big challenge for designing communication systems that provide data delivery with low latency and high scalability. In this paper, we investigate a hierarchical Edge-Cloud publish/subscribe brokers model using an efficient two-tier routing scheme to alleviate these issues when transmitting event notifications in wide-scale IoT systems. In this model, IoT devices take advantage of proximate edge brokers strategically deployed in edge networks for data delivery services in order to reduce latency. To deliver data more efficiently, we propose a proactive mechanism that applies collaborative filtering techniques to efficiently cluster edge brokers with geographic proximity that publish and/or subscribe to similar topics. This allows brokers in the same cluster to exchange data directly with each other to further reduce data delivery latency. In addition, we devise a coordinative scheme to help brokers discover and bridge similar topic channels in the whole system, informing other brokers for data delivery in an efficient manner. Extensive simulation results prove that our model can adeptly support event notifications in terms of low latency, small amounts of relay traffic, and high scalability for large-scale, delay-sensitive IoT applications. Specifically, in comparison with other similar Edge-Cloud approaches, our proposal achieves the best in terms of relay traffic among brokers, about 7.77% on average. In addition, our model's average delivery latency is approximately 66% of PubSubCoord-alike's one.

    Abstract In the Internet of Things (IoT) era, the capacity-limited Internet and uncontrollable service delays for various new applications, such as video streaming analysis and augmented reality, are challenges. Cloud computing systems, also known as a solution that offloads energy-consuming computation of IoT applications to a cloud server, cannot meet the delay-sensitive and context-aware service requirements. To address this issue, an edge computing system provides timely and context-aware services by bringing the computations and storage closer to the user. The dynamic flow of requests that can be efficiently processed is a significant challenge for edge and cloud computing systems. To improve the performance of IoT systems, the mobile edge orchestrator (MEO), which is an application placement controller, was designed by integrating end mobile devices with edge and cloud computing systems. In this paper, we propose a flexible computation offloading method in a fuzzy-based MEO for IoT applications in order to improve the efficiency in computational resource management. Considering the network, computation resources, and task requirements, a fuzzy-based MEO allows edge workload orchestration actions to decide whether to offload a mobile user to local edge, neighboring edge, or cloud servers. Additionally, increasing packet sizes will affect the failed-task ratio when the number of mobile devices increases. To reduce failed tasks because of transmission collisions and to improve service times for time-critical tasks, we define a new input crisp value, and a new output decision for a fuzzy-based MEO. Using the EdgeCloudSim simulator, we evaluate our proposal with four benchmark algorithms in augmented reality, healthcare, compute-intensive, and infotainment applications. Simulation results show that our proposal provides better results in terms of WLAN delay, service times, the number of failed tasks, and VM utilization.

    Abstract Abstract Wi-Fi-based indoor positioning for determining accurate wireless indoor location information has become crucial in meeting increasing demands for location-based services by leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) and ubiquitous connectivity. Most Wi-Fi-based indoor positioning techniques using wireless received signal strength (RSS)-based methods are affected by the indoor environment and depend on the respective signals from at least three reference access points. In this paper, we propose a cloudlet-based cloud computing system enabling Wi-Fi indoor positioning and navigation through a Wi-Fi located on a one-hop wireless network. Our cloudlet-based cloud computing system provides the reference point data and real-time interactive response for a self-driving indoor cart. The system was tested in a real environment with the following results: (1) our system autonomously performed actions, such as turning right or left or going straight according to a movement decision algorithm and determined the position within a stable range of Wi-Fi coverage; (2) the cloudlet and core cloud can track navigation for an indoor self-driving cart; (3) the global and local positions designed for reference access points and a specific position can navigate the self-driving cart to a particular position accurately; (4) the moving edge clouds play a role in deciding three action movements (go straight, turn left, and turn right), as well as managing the local position of the items; and (5) a core cloud is deployed to store all information for the items, such as their positions and corresponding Wi-Fi locations. A core cloud manages items that have the same position (i.e., a global position) defined as the corresponding Wi-Fi location. Finally, the practical results have significance in designing a cloudlet-based cloud computing system enabling Wi-Fi indoor positioning and navigation.

    Abstract Recently, multi-access edge computing (MEC) is a promising paradigm to offer resource-intensive and latency-sensitive services for IoT devices by pushing computing functionalities away from the core cloud to the edge of networks. Most existing research has focused on effectively improving the use of computing resources for computation offloading while neglecting non-trivial amounts of data, which need to be pre-stored to enable service execution (e.g., virtual/augmented reality, video analytics, etc.). In this paper, we, therefore, investigate service provisioning in MEC consisting of two sub-problems: (i) service placement determining services to be placed in each MEC node under its storage capacity constraint, and (ii) request scheduling determining where to schedule each request considering network delay and computation limitation of each MEC node. The main objective is proposed to ensure the quality of experience (QoE) of users, which is also yet to be studied extensively. A utility function modeling user perception of service latency is used to evaluate QoE. We formulate the problem of service provisioning in MEC as an Integer Nonlinear Programming (INLP), aiming at maximizing the total utility of all users. We then propose a Nested-Genetic Algorithm (Nested-GA) consisting of two genetic algorithms, each of whom solves a sub-problem regarding service placement or request scheduling decisions. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that our proposal outperforms conventional methods in terms of the total utility and achieves close-to-optimal solutions.

    Abstract Recently, vehicular ad hoc networks, which organize communications between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructures, have played an important role in providing safe transportation and infotainment applications. To satisfy the various requirements of applications such as delay-bounded transmission of safety packets, a broad bandwidth of non-safety packets, known as medium access control has been developed. In addition, to cope with the frequent topology changes of vehicular ad hoc networks, adaptive IEEE 802.11p–based multi-channel medium access control protocols have been proposed, which can adapt to different traffic conditions. In this article, we focus on such protocols and classify them according to interval division methods. Here, we perform comparisons between these protocols following three main categories: the fixed safety transmission interval, safety and Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment Service Advertisement/Acknowledgment transmission interval, and safety and Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment Service Advertisement transmission interval. We performed simulations in NS-3 under the assumption of saturated throughput for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment Service Advertisement packets and a Poisson arrival process for the safety packets. From the simulation results, it is evident that the design of a new multi-channel medium access control protocol based on IEEE 802.11p needs to balance the trade-off between transmission delay and packet delivery ratio to be efficient, reliable and adaptive. Moreover, such a medium access control protocol can provide efficient vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, which affect the stability of the vehicular cloud.

    Abstract Accelerating the development of the 5G network and Internet of Things (IoT) application, multi-access edge computing (MEC) in a small-cell network (SCN) is designed to provide computation-intensive and latency-sensitive applications through task offloading. However, without collaboration, the resources of a single MEC server are wasted or sometimes overloaded for different service requests and applications; therefore, it increases the user’s task failure rate and task duration. Meanwhile, the distinct MEC server has faced some challenges to determine where the offloaded task will be processed because the system can hardly predict the demand of end-users in advance. As a result, the quality-of-service (QoS) will be deteriorated because of service interruptions, long execution, and waiting time. To improve the QoS, we propose a novel Fuzzy logic-based collaborative task offloading (FCTO) scheme in MEC-enabled densely deployed small-cell networks. In FCTO, the delay sensitivity of the QoS is considered as the Fuzzy input parameter to make a decision where to offload the task is beneficial. The key is to share computation resources with each other and among MEC servers by using fuzzy-logic approach to select a target MEC server for task offloading. As a result, it can accommodate more computation workload in the MEC system and reduce reliance on the remote cloud. The simulation result of the proposed scheme show that our proposed system provides the best performances in all scenarios with different criteria compared with other baseline algorithms in terms of the average task failure rate, task completion time, and server utilization.

    Abstract In VANETs, a clustering algorithm can be used to partition the network into smaller segments. Therefore, the clustering algorithms provide not only limited channel contention but also fair channel access within the cluster. In addition, they also increase spatial reuse in VANETs and efficient control for the network topology. The main concern in the clustering algorithm is the cluster stability. The major challenge is to elect a cluster head and to maintain the membership of member nodes in a highly dynamic and a fast-changing topology. Therefore, the major criterion for cluster formation is to form a stable cluster. In this paper, a clustering algorithm to affect organization and cooperative ADHOC MAC for cluster-based TDMA system in VANETs (ECCT) is proposed. The cooperation is used to help a cluster head update each neighbor cluster's information which helps each cluster head to avoid collision when two clusters move into each other's cluster's transmission range. This efficiently utilizes a time slot. We use the lowest-ID algorithm to achieve organization. The analytical and simulated results show that not only the average number of time slots for electing a cluster head but also total number of time slots before data can be successfully transmitted is less than the existing cluster-based TDMA system and IEEE 802.11p.

    Abstract In vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), many schemes for a multi-channel media access control (MAC) protocol have been proposed to adapt to dynamically changing vehicle traffic conditions and deliver both safety and non-safety packets. One such scheme is to employ both time-division multiple access (TDMA) and carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA) schemes (called a hybrid TDMA/CSMA scheme) in the control channel (CCH) interval. The scheme can adjust the length of the TDMA period depending on traffic conditions. In this paper, we propose a modified packet transmitted in the TDMA period to reduce transmission overhead under a hybrid TDMA/CSMA multi-channel MAC protocol. Simulation results show that a MAC protocol with a modified packet supports an efficient packet delivery ratio of control packets in the CCH. In addition, we analyze the hybrid TDMA/CSMA multi-channel MAC protocol with the modified packet under saturated throughput conditions on the service channels (SCHs). The analysis results show that the number of neighbors has little effect on the establishment of the number of time slots in TDMA periods and on SCHs under saturated throughput conditions.

    Abstract We propose a framework to solve non-linear and history-dependent mechanical problems based on a hybrid classical computer -- quantum annealer approach. Quantum Computers are anticipated to solve particular operations exponentially faster. The available possible operations are however not as versatile as with a classical computer. However, quantum annealers (QAs) are well suited to evaluate the minimum state of a Hamiltonian quadratic potential. Therefore, we reformulate the elasto-plastic finite element problem as a double-minimisation process framed at the structural scale using the variational updates formulation. In order to comply with the expected quadratic nature of the Hamiltonian, the resulting non-linear minimisation problems are iteratively solved with the suggested Quantum Annealing-assisted Sequential Quadratic Programming (QA-SQP): a sequence of minimising quadratic problems is performed by approximating the objective function by a quadratic Taylor's series. Each quadratic minimisation problem of continuous variables is then transformed into a binary quadratic problem. This binary quadratic minimisation problem can be solved on quantum annealing hardware such as the D-Wave system. The applicability of the proposed framework is demonstrated with one- and two-dimensional elasto-plastic numerical benchmarks. The current work provides a pathway of performing general non-linear finite element simulations assisted by quantum computing.
