10.1 Introduction
With the advent of mobile Internet, more and more smart mobile terminals have been extended to multifunctional high‐performance computing and communication platform for future fifth‐generation (5G) networking and Internet of things (IoT) [1–3]. Examples include vehicles in vehicular networks, the mobile phones in device‐to‐device (D2D) networks, and robots in intelligent manufacturing. All these applications can be modeled as homogeneous fog networks, which are defined as a group of peer nodes with sharable computing, communication, and storage resources for node‐to‐node/device‐to‐device (N2N/D2D) communications and task scheduling [4,5]. Compounded with these, more and more new mobile applications such as online gaming and movie, augmented reality (AR), and intelligent drive services come true and attract great attention. Since these novel applications require low latency, they are typically demanding intensive computation and communication energy for real time and high data exchange rate. However, due to physical size constraint, the mobile devices have finite resources. As a result, the finite battery lifetimes and limited computation ...
