A Game-Based Computing Resource Allocation Scheme of Edge Server in Vehicular Edge Computing Networks Considering...

Introducing partial task offloading into vehicle edge computing networks (VECNs) can ease the burden placed on the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) by emerging vehicle applications and services. In this circumstance, the task offloading ratio and the resource allocation of edge servers (ES) need to be addressed urgently. Based on this, we propose a best response-based centralized multi-TaV computation resource allocation algorithm (BR-CMCRA) by jointly considering service vehicle (SeV) selection, offloading strategy making, and computing resource allocation in a multiple task vehicle (TaV) system, and the utility function is related to the processing delay of all tasks, which ensures the TaVs's quality of services (QoS). In the scheme, SeV is first selected from three candidate SeVs (CSVs) near the corresponding TaV based on the channel gain. Then, an exact potential game (EPG) is conducted to allocate computation resources, where the computing resources can be allocated step by step to achieve the maximum benefit. After the resource allocation, the task offloading ratio can be acquired accordingly. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance than other basic algorithms.
