Abstract:

Under the development trend of increasing video service requirements,to solve the problem of unbalanced distribution of optical and wireless resources,and poor user experience quality in cloud wireless access network transmission,a transmission resource allocation strategy of video experience quality perception in the virtual cloud wireless access network is proposed.First,according to the bandwidth requirements of different users,the fronthaul bandwidth efficiency model for optical transmission wavelength assignment,the wavelength tuning overhead model,and load balance evaluation model between optical networks are constructed respectively.Based on the alliance game theory,an iterative algorithm for optical network unit alliance formation based on merging and splitting rules is proposed to construct the virtual cloud wireless access network.An optical network unit coalition formation algorithm based on the merge and split rule is proposed to construct a virtualized cloud radio access network.Furthermore,the influence trend of the transmission rate and video interruption risk on user experience quality is analyzed,with a two-stage Stackelberg game between users and virtual cloud wireless access network established.The existence and uniqueness of its Nash equilibrium solution are proved.Finally,while improving the quality of user experience,the limited wireless resource allocation is optimized to guarantee the utility of service providers.Extensive simulation results validate that in scenarios with different user numbers and load rates,the proposed strategy not only meets the experience quality of users watching video but also effectively improves the resource utilization in the optical and wireless domains.
