Abstract:

In this paper, the authors propose a Mobile Edge computer Geared v2x for E-mobility Ecosystem (MEGEE), as a decentralized alternative to the conventional centralized cloud based architecture. MEGEE enables the Vehicular Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (VDTN)-driven anycasting for information delivery, and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) functioned CSs for information mining and aggregation. MEGEE, through the Internet of EVs and MEC servers, efficiently and timely processes essential charging reservations and charging control details. This study shows that MEGEE can achieve the close charging performance as performed by the centralized system, while offers a significant saving in communications cost.
