Flow-of-traffic prediction program based mobile edge computing for Internet of vehicles using double auction

Abstract

With an aim of maximizing the efficiency of edge offloading and the resource utilization of edge computing server simultaneously, a new flow-of-traffic prediction based edge computing offloading solution was proposed for Internet of vehicles (IoV).Firstly, both the efficiency utility function of vehicle and the resource utilization of mobile edge computing (MEC) server were established by considering task priority.Next, the formulated dual-objective optimization problem was transformed into a double auction problem between vehicles and MEC servers.Finally, based on the designed flow-of-traffic based pricing function of vehicle and MEC server, a McAfee auction algorithm was adopted to complete the edge computing process.Simulation results show that benefiting from the flow-of-traffic prediction information, the proposed solution can significantly improve both the efficiency of computation offloading and the utilization of computation resource.
