Performance Analysis of Product Channel for Relaying-Assisted Edge Computing in IoT Networks

In this paper, we analyze the typical product channel which is often encountered in wireless relaying channels, for relaying-assisted edge computing in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. Such analysis is of vital importance, as it is often encountered in wireless transmission. Speci ﬁ cally, we ﬁ rstly derive a closed-form expression of the transmission outage probability in product channels, through solving involved complicated multivariate integral. We then simplify the expression through some approximation to the involved Bessel function, which can help obtain some meaningful ﬁ ndings to the system design. We ﬁ nally provide some numerical results to verify that the presented analysis on the production channels is e ﬀ ective.


Introduction
Recently, Internet of Things (IoT) networks have been upgraded to a large extent [1,2], thanks to the rapid progress in the wireless transmission and edge computing [3]. Moreover, the development of artificial intelligence also contributes to the upgraded IoT networks, such as the deep learning, transfer learning, and federated learning [4]. For these artificial intelligence algorithms, communication still plays an important role, since it can reduce the communication delay and power consumption, which can help speed up the intelligent algorithms and its convergence performance [5].
Moreover, an essential style in the MEC systems is the offloading strategy, which identifies the number of component of the jobs ought to be calculated by the CAPs. Essentially, offloading is actually to use the computational sources coming from the CAPs at the expense of communi-cation [6,7]. Many researches have been performed to accomplish a proper trade-off. Here, the authors in [8] examined the opportunistic CAP choice for the MEC connect with 2 CAPs and developed an optimal offloading strategy to enhance the outage efficiency in regard to latency as well as power usage. For multiuser multi-CAP MEC systems, the offloading might end up being rather complex [9,10], as well as it is actually difficult to provide some logical services for the offloading. Within this particular situation, some smart formulas have actually been made a proposal to MEC systems, like deeper Q-network located formulas [11] as well as federated knowing located formulas [12,13].
In further, the relaying technique has attracted a lot of attention from researchers including both the students and teachers. It has been widely applied in the IoT networks and edge computing. In particular, when the direct communication is poor due to the obstacles in the communication, the relaying can forward the signals and hence enhance the communication quality. Relaying technique has been also applied in the edge computing networks, whereas it can help assist the calculating tasks through relaying. However, the product channel is often encountered in the relaying trans-mission, which needs some further and deeper research to solve the hanged problems.
In this paper, we analyze the typical product channel which is often encountered in relaying channels, for   relaying-assisted edge computing in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. Such analysis is of vital importance, as it is often encountered in wireless channels. Specifically, we firstly give a closed-form expression of the transmission outage in product channels, through solving the involved multivariate integral. We then simplify the expression through some approximation to the involved Bessel function, which can help obtain some meaningful finding to the system design.
We finally provide some numerical results to verify that the presented analysis on the production channels is effective.

System Model
According to the definition of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), we can obtain the SNR of a specific channel by where P is the transmit power, h~CN ð0, εÞ is the instantaneous channel parameter of the wireless link, and σ 2 is the variance of the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) at the receiver.
We write the probability that the SNR value of the channel composed of h 1 and h 2 that is less than R t as follows: Then, we obtain For simplicity, we let jh 1 j 2 = x 1 and jh 2 j 2 = x 2 , thus The probability density function of Let We can write P out as follows: Let A = σ 2 R t /P, we can obtain By solving the integral formula, we can obtain where K 1 ðxÞ is Bessel functions of the first order. In order to speed up the computation, we can approximate (9) as follows:

Numerical and Simulation Results
In this part, we present some numerical and simulation results to verify the effect of outage probability analysis.       Table 1.
In Figure 2, the outage probabilities of the analytical solutions, the simulation solutions, and the asymptotic solutions improve as the target R t raises. The analytical solutions, the simulation solutions, and the asymptotic solutions almost coincide when R t versus from 1 to 5, but the asymptotic solutions begin to markedly lower than the two other curves as R t raises. For instance, the outage probabilities of the analytical solution, the simulation solution, and the asymptotic solution are 7:9041 × 10 −4 , 8:15 × 10 −4 , and 7:7047 × 10 −4 , respectively, when R t is 1, while the above three are 2:1486 × 10 −1 , 2:1435 × 10 −1 , and 1:7968 × 10 −1 , respectively, when R t is 10. The specific values of the three solutions are shown in Table 2.
