Bowen Zhang, Weiwei Miao, Lei Wei · 2021
Focusing on the resource constrained IoT agent collaboration requirements at the edge of the power Internet of things, this paper proposes an edge agent collaborative computation method based on Actor model to satisfy the rapid processing and response requirements of large-scale data in the perception layer of the power Internet of things. Through a unified programming model, this paper can divide the collection and analysis of sensing data in the sensing layer of the power Internet of things into functional components, which can be deployed in different edge IoT agents, to improve the rapid processing ability of edge-side data. At the same time, the components achieve the function cooperation through the message passing mechanism. Finally, this paper implements the proposed scheme based on Akka framework, and designs the edge IoT agent collaborative computing prototype. The prototype system experiments show that the proposed scheme can split the complex services with high resource requirements into different components and deploy them in different edge IoT agents. The proposed method can improve the resource utilization and data processing capacity of the edge IoT agent of the power Internet of things, while ensuring the real-time requirements of edge service analysis.
