Sdn in Edge Computing Based on Penguin Foraging Behaviour

Abstract

Over the years usage of computational devices have been increased rapidly. 3G and 4G network evolution has helped in seamless usage of the modern devices. As the users are increasing rapidly and 4G spectrum is been congested way too fast. These situations resulted in development of 5G Spectrum by unlocking the millimetre waves. Milli meter Waves are originally shortrange waves and cannot be passed through heavy objects for these solution Small Base station concept has been implemented which provides high coverage and less latency while using. A small cell is basically a miniature base station that breaks up a cell site into much smaller pieces, and is a term that encompasses pico cells, micro cells, femto cells and can comprise of indoor/outdoor systems. For this implementation the SDN plays an important role for maintaining the connection between Base stations. Penguin foraging behaviour can be taken as a reference for the search algorithm in edge computing for getting faster results. Usually a penguin population comprises of several groups. Each group contains a number of penguins that varies depending on food availability in the corresponding foraging region. They feed as a team and follow their local guide which has fed on most food in the last dive. Similarly we follow the same process in small cell base station. Edge computing supports all devices simultaneous for processing and getting accurate results. They can be used for platform development for storage centric, server centric or even hybrid(storage-server) workloads.
