This paper addresses a long-term workload management problem in multi-server edge computing with server collaboration. A cooperative queueing game approach is proposed to solve the joint optimization problem of workload allocation, compensation price determination, and computing speed selection for each edge server. The proposed solution is evaluated through theoretical analyses and extensive simulations, which demonstrate its superiority over existing counterparts.
In this paper, a long-term workload management problem for multi-server edge computing with server collaboration is studied. In the considered model, mobile users' computation-intensive tasks are generated dynamically over the time and offloaded to associated edge servers according to pre-determined subscription agreements. Upon receiving the subscribed workload, each edge server can then decide to whether participate in server collaboration for enabling workload re-allocation (i.e., workload exchange) with other heterogeneously configured edge servers. Unlike most of the existing work, this paper takes into account both competitions and collaborations among strategic edge servers in sharing their computing capacities. To achieve the equilibrium for each edge server in minimizing its expected cost (including energy consumption, delay, transmission, configuration and pricing costs), a joint optimization is formulated for determining i) its amount of workload to undertake, ii) compensation price charged from peers, and iii) computing speed to adopt. To efficiently solve this problem, we propose a novel cooperative queueing game approach, which integrates a convex optimization, a core cost sharing scheme and a mapping rule. Theoretical analyses and extensive simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed solution, and demonstrate its superiority over counterparts.
