📝 摘要(中文)
在即将到来的6G时代,车联网正从简单的车对车(V2V)通信转向更复杂的车对一切(V2X)连接。大语言模型(LLMs)的引入改变了用户与车辆的互动方式,支持语音驱动的命令和交互。然而,LLMs的计算需求和能耗在车辆的受限环境中带来了显著挑战。本文考虑了一个边缘计算系统,车辆在本地处理LLM计算的初始层,并将剩余计算任务卸载到路边单元(RSUs)。为平衡完成时间和能耗的权衡,本文提出了一个多目标优化问题,并通过序列二次规划(SQP)和分数规划技术进行求解。仿真结果表明,所提算法在减少系统的完成时间和能耗方面非常有效。

📄 摘要(原文)
In the upcoming 6G era, vehicular networks are shifting from simple Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication to the more complex Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) connectivity. At the forefront of this shift is the incorporation of Large Language Models (LLMs) into vehicles. Known for their sophisticated natural language processing abilities, LLMs change how users interact with their vehicles. This integration facilitates voice-driven commands and interactions, departing from the conventional manual control systems. However, integrating LLMs into vehicular systems presents notable challenges. The substantial computational demands and energy requirements of LLMs pose significant challenges, especially in the constrained environment of a vehicle. Additionally, the time-sensitive nature of tasks in vehicular networks adds another layer of complexity. In this paper, we consider an edge computing system where vehicles process the initial layers of LLM computations locally, and offload the remaining LLM computation tasks to the Roadside Units (RSUs), envisioning a vehicular ecosystem where LLM computations seamlessly interact with the ultra-low latency and high-bandwidth capabilities of 6G networks. To balance the trade-off between completion time and energy consumption, we formulate a multi-objective optimization problem to minimize the total cost of the vehicles and RSUs. The problem is then decomposed into two sub-problems, which are solved by sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method and fractional programming technique. The simulation results clearly indicate that the algorithm we have proposed is highly effective in reducing both the completion time and energy consumption of the system.
