The opportunistic fog radio access network (OF-RAN) is a promising RAN architecture proposed for next-generation cellular networks. OF-RAN extends the current fog RAN (F-RAN) architecture by introducing virtual fog access points (v-FAPs) that can be formed on-demand by a set of resourceful end-user devices available in an opportunistic manner. These devices in the v-FAP collaboratively serve as the service nodes to a resource-limited local client by performing resource-demanding processing tasks on its behalf. Hence, appropriately assigning the client task to the service nodes of the v-FAP, i.e., task-to-node assignment (TNA), is a fundamental problem in OF-RAN. This paper formulates and solves the TNA as a multi-objective optimization problem, with the goals of minimizing energy and latency of the v-FAP, while maximizing fairness (or load balancing) amongst its service nodes by minimizing their maximum load.

“…In our proposed OF-RAN, the seed node and service nodes are equivalent to the FAP of F-RAN, and helper nodes of oppnet, respectively. A seed node recruits locally available resourceful user devices such as high-end smart phones as service nodes that function collectively as a virtual FAP (v-FAP) to serve a resource-limited client such as an IoT device [7,8]. The resourceful user devices can be incentivized as in [9] to lease their resources (e.g.…”
