Abstract

The rapid increase in the number of vehicles and their intelligence have led to the lack of calculation resource of original network. However, the framework like vehicle-to-roadside infrastructure is still faced with the challenge of balancing the impact of time and energy consumption. To overcome these drawbacks, this paper establishes a comprehensive task priority queue on the basis of software defined network (SDN) based vehicular network instead of randomly offloading the tasks. According to the task type and vehicle speed, different tasks are graded and a joint optimization problem for minimizing the vehicles’ time and energy consumption is formulated. Deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm is proposed to simulate the optimal resource allocation strategy of VEC model in the paper. Finally, this paper analyze the significance of the proposed model by giving numerical results.
