A Secure and Efficient BlockChain and Distributed Ledger Technology-Based Optimal Resource Management in Digital Twin Beyond 5G Networks Using Hybrid Energy Valley and Levy Flight Distributer Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

This paper aims to establish a virtual object management system, as well as optimal task scheduling using the foundation of Digital Twins (DT), to improve the user’s experience with management and to accomplish the task efficiently. On the other hand, offloading tasks using IoT gadgets to edge computing, fails to speed up control by users. The capabilities of the DT are provided by executing processes such as visualization, virtualization, synchronization, and simulation. The optimal selection of the virtual objects for the DT is done by utilizing the implemented Hybrid Energy Valley with Lévy Flight Distribution Optimization (HEV-LFDO) in order to optimally offload the task by the edge devices. The optimal selection of the virtual objects is done with the aid of the HEV-LFDO in the DT by considering the total cost of executing all tasks using the selected virtual objects and the decision variables to determine whether a virtual object is taken for executing a task or not as the constraint. The data for performing resource management is secured using the blockchain or distributed ledger technology. This accounts for the minimization of the local loss function. Finally, the secured data is considered for optimal resource management tasks. The optimal resource management is done using the same HEV-LFDO. This optimal resource management is carried out by considering the constraints like the cost of assigning a virtual object for the task to the edge device, and the cost of assigning the task to the edge device. These two costs are analyzed by taking the network’s bandwidth, energy consumption, and computational resources into consideration. Experimental verifications are conducted on the executed optimal resource management scheme to prove the ability of the implemented model to be integrated with the edge computing network. The overall processing time as well as the latency are also minimized by executing the optimal resource management scheme.
