Abstract:

Given the contradiction between limited network resources and massive user demands in Internet of vehicles, an intelligent vehicular edge computing network architecture was proposed to achieve the comprehensive cooperation and intelligent management of network resources.Based on this architecture, a joint optimization scheme of task offloading and service caching was furtherly devised, which formulated an optimization problem about how to offload tasks and allocate computation and cache resources.In view of the dynamics, randomness and time variation of vehicular networks, an asynchronous distributed reinforcement learning algorithm was employed to obtain the optimal task offloading and resource management policy.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves significant performance improvement in comparison with the other schemes.

Key words: Internet of vehicles, edge computing, computation offloading, service caching, intelligent optimization
