An Incentive Auction-based Cooperative Resource Provisioning Scheme for Edge Computing over Passive Optical Networks

Edge computing integrated passive optical networks have been gained more and more attention recently due to the high bandwidth and low latency for cloud services. In this paper, we study cooperative resource provisioning (CRP) among multiple cloudlets for one service because the resource capacity of each cloudlet is relatively limited comparing with the ever-increasing computation. We first formulate the CRP problem by ILP based on auction; then we design an auction-based scheme to motivate cloudlets to share their resources, which can be divided into two algorithms: CRP and TPD; finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our work by simulations.
