Reliable Mobile Edge Service Offloading Based on P2P Distributed Networks

Intelligent vehicles and their applications increasingly demand high computing power and low task delays, which poses significant challenges for providing reliable and efficient vehicle services. Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a new model that reduces the completion time of tasks and improves vehicle service by performing computation offloading near the moving vehicles. Considering the high-speed mobility of the vehicles and the unstable connection of the wireless cellular network, symmetric and geographically distributed edge servers are regarded as peers in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, and a P2P-based vehicle edge offloading model is proposed in this paper to determine the optimal offloading server for the vehicle and the offloading ratio of tasks to achieve the goal of minimizing execution time. Because the edge computing infrastructure is deployed at the edge of the network, the data in the edge nodes are easily damaged or lost. Therefore, a P2P-based edge node fault tolerance mechanism is proposed to improve the reliability and fault tolerance of the system. The feasibility and effectiveness of our proposed system have been verified through simulation experiments, which greatly reduces the task completion delay.
