Evolutionary dynamics of MEC’s organization in a 6G scenario through EGT and temporal multiplex social network

Abstract

MEC is considered as a promising candidate to support the deployment of the 6G communication networks, enabling scalability, adaptability and resilience. We propose a modeling approach based on complex system to design a novel organizational aspect of mobile nodes acting as MECs in a 6G scenario, through the introduction of the temporal multiplex social network, which allows us to analyze proximity contacts, by embedding also the social aspects, and the evolutionary game theory. Our findings demonstrate how the proposed model gives a boost to MECs’ cooperative behavior, finding out an overall reduction of the blocking probability.
