A Survey on Task Partitioning and Scheduling for Vehicular Edge Computing

Vehicle edge computing (VEC) has become an important research field in recent years. In VEC, computation offloading moves computationally intensive tasks from resource-constrained devices to the network edge, it provides service closer to the end-users. By processing tasks with abundant idle resources at the network edge, low-latency demands for some tasks can be met. However, the mobility and uncertainty of vehicles pose significant challenges to vehicle computation offloading. This paper focuses on the decision-making process of vehicle computation offloading, specifically task partitioning and scheduling decisions. This paper summarizes some hot problems and solutions, including latency optimization, reliability optimization, energy efficiency optimization, cost optimization, and mobility support. This study will help researchers discover important features of vehicle computation offloading and find the most suitable scheme to solve the vehicle offloading problem in different scenarios.
