description The distributed nature of IoT systems and new trends focusing on fog computing enforce the need for reliable communication that ensures the required quality of service for various scenarios. Due to the direct interaction with the real world, failure to deliver the required QoS level can introduce system failures and lead to further negative consequences for users. This paper introduces a prediction-based resource allocation method for Multi-Access Edge Computing-capable networks, aimed at assurance of the required QoS and optimization of resource utilization for various types of IoT use cases featuring adaptability to changes in users’ requests. The method considers the current resource load and predicted changes in resource utilization based on historical request data, which are then utilized to adjust the resource allocation optimization criteria for upcoming requests. The proposed method was developed for scenarios utilizing edge computing, e.g., autonomous vehicle data exchange, which can be susceptible to periodic resource demand fluctuations related to typical rush hours, predictable with the proposed approach. The results indicate that the proposed approach can increase the reliability of processes conducted in IoT systems.
