TCV-D: An Approach for Path Selection in Vehicular Task Offloading - ScienceDirect

The vehicular task offloading technology enhances the transportation system by offloading tasks of task-requesting vehicles (TRV) to either vehicular fog nodes (VFN) or road-side units (RSU) using single-hop or multi-hop communication. Due to the limited availability of VFN/RSU within a single-hop of TRV, a multi-hop path is employed for offloading tasks from TRV to VFN/RSU. However, the multi-hop path selection approaches have several issues, such as frequent re-connections due to varying vehicle speed, lower successful offloading when task deadline is missed, increased outage time when no VFN/RSU is within communication range of TRV, and inefficient vehicle selection to offload task leading to longer path lifetime......
