Task Offloading Strategy of Vehicular Networks Based on Improved Bald Eagle Search Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

To reduce computing delay and energy consumption in the Vehicular networks, the total cost of task offloading, namely delay and energy consumption, is studied. A task offloading model combining local vehicle computing, MEC (Mobile Edge Computing) server computing, and cloud computing is proposed. The model not only considers the priority relationship of tasks, but also considers the delay and energy consumption of the system. A computational offloading decision method IBES based on an improved bald eagle search optimization algorithm is designed, which introduces Tent chaotic mapping, Levy Flight mechanism and Adaptive weights into the bald eagle search optimization algorithm to increase initial population diversity, enhance local search and global convergence. The simulation results show that the total cost of IBES is 33.07% and 22.73% lower than that of PSO and BES, respectively.
