V2V-Based Task Offloading and Resource Allocation in Vehicular Edge Computing Networks

Abstract: In the research and application of vehicle ad hoc networks (VANETs), it is often assumed that vehicles obtain cloud computing services by accessing to roadside units (RSUs). However, due to the problems of insufficient construction quantity, limited communication range and overload of calculation load of roadside units, the calculation mode relying only on vehicle to roadside units is difficult to deal with complex and changeable calculation tasks. In this paper, when the roadside unit is missing, the vehicle mobile unit is regarded as a natural edge computing node to make full use of the excess computing power of mobile vehicles and perform the offloading task of surrounding mobile vehicles in time. In this paper, the OPFTO framework is designed, an improved task allocation algorithm HGSA is proposed, and the pre-filtering process is designed with full consideration of the moving characteristics of vehicles. In addition, vehicle simulation experiments show that the proposed strategy has the advantages of low delay and high accuracy compared with other task scheduling strategies, which provides a reference scheme for the construction of Urban Intelligent Transportation in the future.
