QoE-Driven Secure Video Transmission in Cloud-Edge Collaborative Networks
2021
Video transmission over the backhaul link in cloudedge collaborative networks usually suffers security risks. Only a few existing studies focus on ensuring secure backhaul link transmission. However, video content characteristics, which have significant effects on quality of experience (QoE), are ignored in the study. In this paper, we investigate the QoE-driven crosslayer optimization of secure video transmission over the backhaul link in cloud-edge collaborative networks. First, we establish the secure transmission model for backhaul link by considering video encoding and MEC-caching in a distributed cache scenario. Then, based on the established model, a joint optimization problem is formulated with the objective of improving user QoE and reducing transmission latency under the constraints of MEC capacity. To solve the optimization problem, we propose two algorithms: a near optimal iterative algorithm based on relaxation and branch and bound method (MC-VEB), and a greedy algorithm with low computational complexity (Greedy MC-VEB). Simulation results show that our proposed MC-VEB can greatly improve the user QoE and reduce transmission latency within security constraints, and the proposed Greedy MC-VEB can obtain the tradeoff between the user QoE and the computational complexity.
