Computation Offloading Game for Fog‐Cloud Scenario
Hamed Shah‐Mansouri, Vincent W. S. Wong · 2020
This chapter introduces the fog computing in Internet of Things (IoT) systems and discusses the computation task offloading to fog nodes, which is challenging due to the heterogeneity of IoT devices and applications and highly dynamic IoT environment. It further reviews the existing computation task offloading mechanisms in the literature. The chapter also introduces a set of criteria to evaluate the performance of computing services offered by the fog-cloud computing. In particular, these criteria are used to investigate the performance of computation task offloading mechanisms. The chapter also utilizes a game theoretic approach and models the competition between the IoT users as a strategic game. It investigates the computation offloading game by evaluating the performance of the proposed best response strategy algorithm. The chapter finally evaluates the performance of the proposed computation offloading game in comparison to an offloading mechanism.
