Abstract:

Focusing on the content distribution acceleration problem in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), with the consideration of the influence of MEC server storage space limitation on content cache, with the object obtaining delays of the mobile users as optimization goal, an Interest-based Content Distribution Acceleration Strategy (ICDAS) was proposed. Considering the MEC server storage space, the interests of the mobile user groups on different objects and the file sizes of the objects, the objects were selectively cached on MEC servers, and the objects cached on MEC servers were timely updated in order to meet the content requirements of mobile user groups as more as possible. The experimental results show that the proposed strategy has good convergence performance, which cache hit ratio is relatively stable and significantly better than that of the existing strategies. When the system runs stably, compared with the existing strategies, this strategy can reduce the object data obtaining delay for users by 20%.

摘要:

针对移动边缘计算(MEC)中的内容分发加速问题,考虑MEC服务器存储空间受限对内容缓存的影响,以移动用户获取对象延时为优化目标,根据用户群对不同对象的兴趣的差异,提出了一种基于兴趣的内容分发加速策略(ICDAS)。该策略根据MEC服务器的存储空间、移动用户群对不同对象的兴趣以及对象的文件大小,选择性地在MEC服务器上缓存对象,并及时对MEC服务器上缓存的对象进行更新,最大限度地满足移动用户群的内容需求。仿真结果表明,所提策略具有良好的收敛性能,其缓存命中率相对稳定且明显优于现有策略;当系统运行达到稳定后,相较于现有策略,该策略可使用户获取对象数据的时延减少20%。
