Abstract
Vehicular edge computing (VEC) has emerged as a promising paradigm to provide low-latency service by extending the edge computing to vehicular networks. To meet the ever-increasing demands of computation and communication resources, utilizing vehicles as augmented infrastructure for computation offloading is an appealing idea. However, due to the lack of effective incentive and task allocation mechanism, it is challenging to exploit vehicles as infrastructure for computation offloading. To cope with these challenges, we first propose a container-based VEC paradigm by using efficient, flexible and customized resources of the vehicles. Then, we present a contract-based incentive mechanism to motivate vehicles to share their resources with service requesters (SRs). The optimal contract items are designed for multiple types of vehicles while maximizing the expected utilities of the SRs. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed contract-based incentive mechanism is efficient compared with conventional schemes.
