Abstract
The optimal computation, resource, and storage positioning for succeeding the best performance of complex systems, populated by multiple mobile devices with respect to mobile users and data protection, is of great interest in “Beyond the 5th Generation” (B5G) / 6th Generation (6G) networks in academia as well as in industry sectors. In this paper, an intelligence functions placement algorithm is proposed for optimally allocating the functionality to the various network/compute nodes as part of the intelligence distribution decision-making functional component of the smart connectivity platform envisioned in the H2020 project DEDICAT 6G. This algorithm can overcome a possible increase of network latency or a possible unavailability of used edge node and can be applicable to many use cases including the ones having robot edge nodes (warehouse environment). The theoretical estimations show that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the power consumption compared to baseline placement algorithms.
