Title: 通过具有外部性的市场均衡在未来网络中平衡成本与效用

Abstract: We study the problem of market equilibrium (ME) in future wireless networks, with multiple actors competing and negotiating for a pool of heterogeneous resources (communication and computing) while meeting constraints in terms of global cost. The latter is defined in a general way but is associated with energy and/or carbon emissions. In this direction, service providers competing for network resources do not acquire the latter, but rather the right to consume, given externally defined policies and regulations. We propose to apply the Fisher market model, and prove its convergence towards an equilibrium between utilities, regulatory constraints, and individual budgets. The model is then applied to an exemplary use case of access network, edge computing, and cloud resources, and numerical results assess the theoretical findings of convergence, under different assumptions on the utility function and more or less stringent constraints.

Abstract: 我们研究未来无线网络中的市场均衡（ME）问题，多个参与者在竞争和协商共享异构资源（通信和计算）的同时满足全局成本的约束。后者以一种通用方式定义，但与能源和/或碳排放相关。在此方面，竞争网络资源的服务提供商并不获取这些资源，而是根据外部定义的政策和法规获得消费的权利。我们提出应用费舍尔市场模型，并证明其能够收敛到效用、监管约束和个人预算之间的均衡。然后将该模型应用于接入网络、边缘计算和云资源的一个示例用例，数值结果在对效用函数的不同假设以及不同程度的约束下评估了理论上的收敛性。
