Abstract: Driven by the development of the Internet industry, mobile robots (MRs) technology has become increasingly mature and widely used in all walks of life. Since MRs are densely distributed in the network system, how to establish a reliable communication architecture to achieve good cooperation and resource sharing between MRs has become a research hotspot. In this respect, mobile edge computing (MEC) technology and millimeter wave (mmW) technology can provide powerful support. This paper proposes a mmW communication network architecture for distributed MRs in MEC environment. The mmW base station provides reliable communication services for MRs under the coverage of information cloud (IC). We design a joint resource and power allocation strategy aimed at minimizing network energy consumption. First, we use the Lyapunov optimization technique to transform the original infinite horizon Markov decision process (MDP) problem. Then, a semidistributed algorithm is introduced to solve the distributed optimization problem in the mmW network. By improving the autonomous decision-making ability of the mmW base station, the signaling overheads caused by information interaction are reduced, and information leakage is effectively avoided. Finally, the global optimal solution is obtained. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed strategy.
