This paper investigates the joint problem of task offloading and heterogeneous protocol device access in command and control communication networks, proposing a real-time data unified access platform and a data parsing/encapsulation algorithm to address the challenges of protocol conversion and device access.
With the rapid convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and command and control communication networks, there is a swift surge in computation-intensive applications and heterogenous devices. Building an edge computing network near the protocol gateway not only facilitates network protocol conversion, but also alleviates computational load on the gateway. Nevertheless, traditional protocol gateways necessitate the inclusion of conversion methods for all communication protocols in the network for data interoperability with other devices. Consequently, constructing low-complexity protocol conversion programs, and the more efficient and equitable allocation of edge server resources, are critical challenges that need to be addressed. This paper investigates the joint problem of task offloading and heterogeneous protocol device access in command and control communication networks, deriving the benefit parameters of task offloading. We propose a real-time data unified access platform, which, by distributing configuration files, enables the IoT gateway to generate protocol conversion programs, thereby transforming all device protocols into a unified common protocol. Furthermore, to enhance the efficiency of heterogeneous device access to the network, we design a data parsing/encapsulation algorithm based on the real-time data unified access platform, supporting bidirectional mapping of two types of data. Experimental validation confirms the reasonability and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
