Abstract

As vehicular applications continue to evolve, the computational capabilities of individual vehicles alone are no longer sufficient to meet the increasing demands. This has led to the integration of edge computing in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) as an essential solution. Due to the limited resources within vehicles, there is often a need to offload tasks to edge nodes. However, task offloading in IoV environments presents several challenges, including high mobility, dynamic network topology, and varying node density. Traditional offloading methods fail to effectively address these challenges. Moreover, tasks differ in importance, necessitating a mechanism for edge nodes to prioritize tasks based on their urgency. To overcome these challenges, we propose a Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) fuzzy-based task offloading scheme. In this scheme, fuzzy logic plays a critical role by enabling dynamic prioritization of tasks based on their urgency and the available computational resources at edge nodes, ensuring intelligent, context-aware decision-making. The user vehicle selects an appropriate edge node using an edge selection mechanism, which guarantees prolonged connection time and sufficient computational resources. Tasks at the edge are then organized based on their latency requirements and evaluated using a fuzzy rule-based inference system. Our simulation results demonstrate improved task execution rates, reduced overall system delay, and minimized queuing delays.
