Location-Based Service Recommendation for Cold-Start in Mobile Edge Computing
Abstract
With the rapid development of the 5G and Internet of Things (IoT), mobile edge computing has gained considerable popularity in academic and industrial field, which provides physical resources closer to end users. Service recommendation in such a distributed environment is a hot issue. However, the cold-start problem for service recommendation in mobile edge computing is still urgent to be solved. In this paper, we propose a service recommendation method based on collaborative filtering (CF) and user location, by comprehensively considering the characteristic of services at the edge and mobility of users. In detail, we first synthesize the service characteristics of each dimension through multidimensional weighting method. We further introduce the idea of Inverse_CF_Rec to the traditional CF and then predict the lost QoS value to solve the problem of sparse data. Finally, a recommendation algorithm based on predicted QoS value and user geographic location is proposed to recommend appropriate services to users. The experimental results show that our multidimensional inverse similarity recommendation algorithm based on collaborative filtering (MDICF) outperforms Inverse_CF_Rec in terms of the accuracy of recommendation.
