A Study of Mobile Edge Computing System Architecture for Vehicular Cloud Media Services on Highway

초록/요약

In this thesis, we investigate a method to reduce data traffic load on Data Center Cloud (DCC) for media contents in a congested road or highway environment. We present a new mobile edge network architecture to handle increasing amounts of traffic, quality requirements, advanced driver assistance system for autonomous driving and new cloud computing demands on a highway. We propose a hierarchical cloud computing architecture to enhance reducing data load and download latency performance by using adaptive data load distribution with buses, which play the role of an edge computing server. A vehicular dynamic cloud is based on a wireless architecture including Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and infrastructure Long Term Evolution and Long Term Evolution Advance (LTE/LTE-A) communication is used for data transmission between moving buses and cars. The main advantages of the proposed architecture include a reduction in data loading for the top layer cloud server and an effective data distribution on a traffic jam highway where moving vehicles require video on demand (VOD) services from the server. Through a description of a real environment based on an NS-2 network simulation, we conduct experiments to validate the proposed architecture with the flow of motorways. Additionally, we investigate how much cost gain and network traffic reduction is shown by the internally applied in bus according to the network type as the Mobile Edge Computing Server (MECS). We validate the performance of the proposed architecture using an actual in-vehicle network type consisting of a dual network ring. Through the proposed process, we show the feasibility and effectiveness of the connected car media service on a highway from various aspects such as data load density, cost charge, service latency and change in packet quantity.
