Multi Level Heterogeneous Edge Resource Allocation and Deployment for O-RAN
To address issues such as high data transmission costs and insufficient network compatibility in the Open Radio Access Network(O-RAN),research has been conducted on the joint optimization of multi-tier edge service resource allocation and deployment targeted at O-RAN.Initially,a four-layer fusion model is employed to transform the multi-objective joint optimization problem into an issue of selecting the number and determining the lo-cations of heterogeneous edge servers.Subsequently,an algorithm for optimizing heterogeneous edge server resources,incorporating load constraints and iterative optimization,is proposed,effectively resolving the challenges of heterogene-ous resource allocation and data transmission within the O-RAN network.Furthermore,an energy-efficient driven al-gorithm for optimizing the deployment of heterogeneous nodes is introduced to address the problem of determining the optimal deployment locations for multi-tiered heterogeneous resources.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed re-source optimization and deployment algorithms is validated using a real dataset from Shanghai Telecom base stations.The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm,compared to alternative methods,reduces deployment costs by at least 22.5% and increases energy efficiency by a minimum of 25.96% .
