The terrestrial relays act as the supplement of traditional small cells and cooperatively provide seamless coverage for users in the densely populated areas.To deal with the dynamic satellite backhaul links and backhaul capacity caused by the satellite mobility, severe co-channel interference in both satellite backhaul links and user links introduced by spectrum sharing,and the difference demands of users as well as heterogeneous characteristics of terrestrial backhaul and satellite backhaul, we propose a joint user association and satellite selection scheme to maximize the total sum rate. The optimization problem is formulated via jointly considering the influence of dynamic backhaul links, individual requirements and targeted interference management strategies, which is decomposed into two subproblems: user association and satellite selection. The user association is formulated as a nonconvex optimization problem, and solved through a low-complexity heuristic scheme to find the most suitable access point serving each user. Then, the satellite selection is resolved based on the cooperation among terrestrial relays to maximize the total backhaul capacity with the minimum date rate constraints. Finally,simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of total sum rate and power efficiency of TRs' backhaul.展开更多

文摘Based on the advantages of both Grid and peer-to-peer （P2P） networks, an overlay network in the Grid environment is constructed by P2P technologies by a modified version of the Chord protocol. In this mechanism, different nodes＇ accesses to different resources are determined by their contribution. Therefore, the heterogeneous resources of virtual organizations in large-scale Grid can be effectively integrated, and the key node failure as well as system bottleneck in the traditional Grid environment is eliminated. The experimental results indicate that this management mechanism can achieve better average performance in the Grid environment and maintain the P2P characteristics as well.

文摘Space-Air-Ground integrated Vehicular Network(SAGVN)aims to achieve ubiquitous connectivity and provide abundant computational resources to enhance the performance and efficiency of the vehicular networks.Nonetheless,there are still challenges to overcome,including the scheduling of multilayered computational resources and the scarcity of spectrum resources.To address these problems,we propose a joint Task Offloading(TO)and Resource Allocation(RA)strategy in SAGVN(namely JTRSS).This strategy establishes an SAGVN model that incorporates air and space networks to expand the options for vehicular TO,and enhances the edge-computing resources of the system by deploying edge servers.To minimize the system average cost,we use the JTRSS algorithm to decompose the original problem into a number of subproblems.A maximum rate matching algorithm is used to address the channel allocation and the Lagrangian multiplier method is employed for computational RA.To acquire the optimal TO decision,a differential fusion cuckoo search algorithm is designed.Extensive simulation results demonstrate the significant superiority of the JTRSS algorithm in optimizing the system average cost.
