A Method Based on the Combination of Laxity and Ant Colony System for Cloud-Fog Task Scheduling
Jiuyun Xu, Zhuangyuan Hao, Ruru Zhang et al.|IEEE Access|2019
Cited by 114Open Access

In today's Internet of Things research community, Cloud-fog framework is a potential technology for Internet of Things to support energy consumption of an IoT system and delay-sensitive applications that require almost real-time responses. However, how to schedule the computational tasks which is to offload to fog nodes or cloud nodes is not fully addressed until now. In this paper, in order to solve the complex task scheduling problem with some priority constraints of IoT applications taking into account the energy consumption and reducing energy consumption on the condition of satisfying the mix deadline, we formulate an associated task scheduling problem into a constrained optimization problem in cloud-fog environment. A laxity and ant colony system algorithm(LBP-ACS) is put forward to tackle this problem. In this algorithm, a strategy of task scheduling is not only considering the priority of a task, but also its finished deadline. In order to handle the sensitivity of task delay, the laxity-based priority algorithm is adopted to construct a task scheduling sequence with reasonable priority. Meanwhile, to minimize the total energy consumption, the constrained optimization algorithm based on ant colony system algorithm is used to obtain the approximate optimal scheduling scheme in the global. Compared with other algorithms, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the energy consumption of processing all tasks, while ensuring reasonable scheduling length and reducing the failure rate of associated tasks scheduling with mixed deadlines.

Optimal Offloading Decision Strategies and Their Influence Analysis of Mobile Edge Computing
Cited by 17Open Access

Mobile edge computing (MEC) has become more popular both in academia and industry. Currently, with the help of edge servers and cloud servers, it is one of the substantial technologies to overcome the latency between cloud server and wireless device, computation capability and storage shortage of wireless devices. In mobile edge computing, wireless devices take responsibility with input data. At the same time, edge servers and cloud servers take charge of computation and storage. However, until now, how to balance the power consumption of edge devices and time delay has not been well addressed in mobile edge computing. In this paper, we focus on strategies of the task offloading decision and the influence analysis of offloading decisions on different environments. Firstly, we propose a system model considering both energy consumption and time delay and formulate it into an optimization problem. Then, we employ two algorithms-Enumerating and Branch-and-Bound-to get the optimal or near-optimal decision for minimizing the system cost including the time delay and energy consumption. Furthermore, we compare the performance between two algorithms and draw the conclusion that the comprehensive performance of Branch-and-Bound algorithm is better than that of the other. Finally, we analyse the influence factors of optimal offloading decisions and the minimum cost in detail by changing key parameters.
