Mobile computation offloading is an emerging technology to migrate resource-intensive computations from resource-limited mobile devices (MDs) to resource-rich devices (such as a cloud server) via wireless access. Accessing to remote cloud server usually introduces a long delay to first deliver parameters to the server and then retrieve the results back. For applications that are time sensitive, offloading to nearby cloudlets is preferred. However, the link duration between an MD and a single cloudlet can be very limited in a vehicular network. As a result, offloading actions taken by an MD may fail due to link breakage caused by mobility. Meanwhile, some vehicles, such as buses, always follow relatively fixed routes, and their locations can be predicted much easier than other vehicles. By taking advantage of this fact, we propose a bus-based cloudlet cooperation strategy, where the bus-based cloudlets act as computation service providers for the MDs in vehicles, and an application generated by an MD includes a series of tasks that have dependency among each other. The proposed bus-based cloudlet cooperation strategy (BCCS) finds the optimal set of tasks to be offloaded to each cloudlet. Experimental results show that the proposed BCCS strategy can reduce both the energy consumption of the MDs and completion time of the applications.
