Dynamic resource control method based on real world representation with potential field

A real-world sensing application, which senses and analyzes the situation in the real world via sensor devices, has attracted increasing attention for providing new services to mobile users. In this paper, for targeting the application, we propose a highly adaptive resource control method that can control the amount of local computing resources, which is provided by the Mobile Edge Computing technology and the amount of network resources necessary for service provisioning. A basic idea is to express various information, such as the amount of sensor information and the amount of user access, into a simple potential field, and then update the potential field in a short cycle in a self-organized manner. Numerical results show that our resource control method based on the potential field is adaptive for the movement of users.
