An optimized application-context relocation approach for Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM)

Nina Slamnik-Kriještorac, Steven Latré, Johann M. Marquez-Barja

In this paper, we study and present a management and orchestration framework for vehicular communications, which enables service continuity for the vehicle via an optimized application-context relocation approach. To optimize the transfer of the application-context for Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) services, our MEC orchestrator performs prediction of resource availability in the edge infrastructure based on the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model, and it makes a final decision on relocation by calculating the outcome of a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) algorithm, taking into account the i) resource prediction, ii) latency and bandwidth on the communication links, and iii) geographical locations of the vehicle and edge hosts in the network infrastructure. Furthermore, we have built a proof-of-concept for the orchestration framework in a real-life distributed testbed environment, to showcase the efficiency in optimizing the edge host selection and application context relocation towards achieving continuity of a service that informs vehicle about the driving conditions on the road.
