Recently, the concept of fog computing which aims at providing time-sensitive data services has become popular. In this model, computation is performed at the edge of the network instead of sending vast amounts of data to the cloud. Thus, fog computing provides low latency, location awareness to end users, and improves quality-of-services (QoS). One key feature in this model is the designing of payment plan from network operator (NO) to fog nodes (FN) for the rental of their computing resources, such as computation capacity, spectrum, and transmission power. In this paper, we investigate the problem of how to design the efficient payment plan to maximize the NOs revenue while maintaining FNs incentive to cooperate through the moral hazard model in contract theory. We propose a multi-dimensional contract which considers the FNs characteristics such as location, computation capacity, storage, transmission bandwidth, and etc. First, a contract which pays the FNs by evaluating the resources they have provided from multiple aspects is proposed. Then, the utility maximization problem of the NO is formulated. Furthermore, we use the numerical results to analyze the optimal payment plan, and compare the NOs utility under different payment plans.
The concept of fog computing is centered around providing computation resources at the edge of network, thereby reducing the latency and improving the quality of service. However, it is still desirable to investigate how and where at the edge of the
This paper studies edge caching in fog computing networks, where a capacity-aware edge caching framework is proposed by considering both the limited fog cache capacity and the connectivity capacity of base stations (BSs). By allowing cooperation betw
Recently, fog computing has been introduced as a modern distributed paradigm and complement to cloud computing to provide services. Fog system extends storing and computing to the edge of the network, which can solve the problem about service computi
In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), spectrum trading is an efficient way for secondary users (SUs) to achieve dynamic spectrum access and to bring economic benefits for the primary users (PUs). Existing methods requires full payment from SU, which bl
Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a contract between a public entity and a consortium, in which the public outsources the construction and the maintenance of an equipment (hospital, university, prison...). One drawback of this contract is that the
