Abstract
These days, the usage of the internet of Vehicle Things (IVoT) applications such as E-Business, E-Train, E-Ambulance has been growing progressively. These applications require mobility-aware delay-sensitive services to execute their tasks. With this motivation, the study has the following contribution. Initially, the study devises a novel cooperative vehicular fog cloud network (VFCN) based on container microservices which offers cost-efficient and mobility-aware services with rich resources for processing. This study devises the cost-efficient task offloading and scheduling (CEMOTS) algorithm framework, which consists of the mobility aware task offloading phase (MTOP) method, which determines the optimal offloading time to minimize the communication cost of applications. Furthermore, CEMOTS offers Cooperative Task Offloading Scheduling (CTOS), including task sequencing and scheduling. The goal is to reduce the application costs of communication cost and computational costs under a given deadline constraint. Performance evaluation shows the CTOS and MTOP outperform existing task offloading and scheduling methods in the VCFN in terms of costs and the deadline for IoT applications.
