In this study, the authors focus on theoretical modelling of the fog computing architecture and compare its performance with the traditional cloud computing model. Existing research works on fog computing have primarily focused on the principles and concepts of fog computing and its significance in the context of internet of things (IoT). This work, one of the first attempts in its domain, proposes a mathematical formulation for this new computational paradigm by defining its individual components and presents a comparative study with cloud computing in terms of service latency and energy consumption. From the performance analysis, the work establishes fog computing, in collaboration with the traditional cloud computing platform, as an efficient green computing platform to support the demands of the next generation IoT applications. Results show that for a scenario where 25% of the IoT applications demand real-time, low-latency services, the mean energy expenditure in fog computing is 40.48% less than the conventional cloud computing model.

In this paper, the authors deal with secure transmission in two-hop amplify-and-forward network with untrusted relays. To prevent the untrusted relays from intercepting the source message and to achieve positive secrecy rate, the destination-based cooperative jamming technique is used. The authors propose joint secure best relay selection (BRS) and optimal power allocation (OPA) for uplink transmission of a cellular network when the base station is equipped with very large-scale antenna arrays. Then, the common performance metrics such as ergodic secrecy rate (ESR) and secrecy outage probability are evaluated for the optimised network. Moreover, the diversity order and diversity-multiplexing tradeoff of the system are examined. The authors obtain that the diversity order of joint BRS and OPA scenario is equal to number of relays. Finally, some numerical and simulation results are presented to validate the theoretical analysis and to show the advantages offered by the presented systems. They reveal interesting results that, by increasing number of untrusted relay nodes, the system performance improves. For example, for target ESR 2 bits/s/Hz and ten untrusted relay nodes, the optimised network saves about 5 dB for uplink transmission, in comparison with the system applying the BRS and equal power allocation.

Quality of experience (QoE) has been a user-centric performance metric for multimedia communications. Existing communication protocols over heterogeneous networks are mostly based on quality of service, which ignores the user satisfaction and subjective evaluation. In this paper, the authors propose a novel QoE-aware multimedia communication framework for heterogeneous wireless networks. Specifically, the authors make three main contributions in this paper: (i) a general QoE model has been established by jointly characterising the multimedia applications and heterogeneous networks, (ii) the issue of multimedia communications over heterogeneous networks has been transformed as a stochastic optimisation problem, and (iii) the optimal solution is provided by designing a QoE-aware multimedia scheduling scheme. Importantly, the proposed scheme is simply enough for online implementation. Numerical simulations have demonstrated the efficiency and robustness of the proposed scheme.
