New Offloading Method of Computing Task Based on Gray Wolf Hunting Optimization Mechanism for the IOV

Abstract

Task offloading, as an effective solution, provides low latency and sufficient computing resources for mobile users in the network. However, how to reasonably offload to reduce system overhead is a challenging issue today. This article takes user terminals, edge servers, and idle vehicles with resources as the network structure, and is inspired by the highly social nature of the gray wolf pack. It proposes a new offloading method of edge computing task based on hunting optimizing mechanism of gray wolf for the Internet of Vehicle (IOV). Firstly, an adaptive weight factor is proposed to balance the weight ratio of delay and energy consumption in the system cost under the constraints of delay and energy consumption. With delay and computing resources of vehicles and servers as constraints, a multi constraint minimization system cost problem is proposed. Secondly, the hunting process of the gray Wolf optimization algorithm is used to find the optimal solution of the unloading scheme, The Levy flight strategy was added to enhance the global search ability of the algorithm, and a dynamic weight strategy was introduced to improve the convergence performance of the algorithm. Finally, the improved gray Wolf optimization algorithm was used to solve the optimal unloading plan and minimum cost. The simulation results show that compared with traditional gray Wolf optimization algorithm offloading schemes, the proposed scheme in this paper requires lower system costs.
