Abstract

As cloud computing and the Internet of things are getting popular, the number of devices in the Internet of things computing environments is increasing. In addition, there exist various Internet-based applications, such as home automation and healthcare. In turn, existing studies explored the quality of service, such as downtime and reliability of tasks for Internet of things applications. To enhance the quality of service of Internet of things applications, cloud-fog computing (combining cloud computing and edge computing) can be used for offloading burdens from the central cloud server to edge servers. However, when devices inherit the mobility property, continuity and the quality of service of Internet of things applications can be reduced. In this paper, we propose a resource management scheme based on live migrations for mobility support in edge-based fog computing environments. The proposed resource management algorithm is based on the mobility direction and pace to predict the expected position, and migrates tasks to the target edge server. The performance results show that our proposed resource management algorithm improves the reliability of tasks and reduces downtime of services.

클라우드 컴퓨팅과 사물인터넷의 대중화에 따라 사물인터넷 컴퓨팅 환경에 존재하는 인터넷 연결이 가능한 장치들의 수가 점차 증가하고 있다. 또한 스마트홈, 헬스케어 등 사물인터넷을 이용한 다양한 인터넷 응용이 많아짐에 따라 통신 지연 및 연산의 신뢰성과 같은 지표의 서비스품질과 관련된 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 사물인터넷 응용의 서비스품질 향상을 위해 중앙집중형 클라우드 서버에 연결하기 보다 장치와 가까이 존재하고 중앙집중형 클라우드 서버와의 오프로드(offload) 협업을 위해 에지 컴퓨팅(edge computing)이 결함된 클라우드-포그 컴퓨팅 환경이 주목을 받고 있다. 하지만 클라우드-포그 컴퓨팅 환경에서 장치들이 이동성을 특성을 가질 때 사물인터넷 응용 서비스의 연속성이 떨어지고 서비스품질 수준이 저하되는 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 에지 기반 포그 컴퓨팅 환경에서 이동성 지원을 위한 라이브 마이그레이션 기반 자원 관리 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 자원 관리 알고리즘은 사용자의 이동성 방향과 속도를 기반으로 일정 시간 뒤의 위치를 예측하고 이를 기반으로 라이브 마이그레이션을 통해 사물인터넷 서비스 이주를 지원한다. 성능 평가를 통해 제안하는 자원 관리 알고리즘의 효용성을 측정하였으며, 성능 실험에서 정지시간(downtime)과 서비스 작업의 신뢰성이 크게 향상됨을 보였다.
