A Survey on Computation Offloading for Vehicular Edge Computing

Vehicular Edge Computing (VEC) is a promising new paradigm that has received a lot of attention recently. Computation Offloading (CO) can migrate computing tasks to the network edge of VEC, which is critical for mobile applications that are sensitive to computation power. However, the dynamicity and randomness of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) lead to new features and challenges in vehicular computation offloading. Therefore, we focus on the CO in VEC. This paper depicts a broad methodical literature analysis of CO scheme and CO methods in VEC domains and divides the current works of CO into various categories. The methodical analysis of this research will help researchers to find the important characteristics of CO and select the most appropriate algorithm for computing tasks. Challenges and research directions have also been suggested in this paper.
