With the explosive growth of computation-intensive and latency-sensitive vehicular applications, limited on-board computing resources can hardly satisfy these heterogeneous requirements and task offloading becomes a potential solution. However, task offloading in vehicular networks may face the dilemma of unaffordable uploading time caused by the huge amount of uploading traffic. Therefore, considering the applications which use the environmental data as their input, the sensing abilities of serving nodes (SNs) are exploited and a traffic-aware task offloading (TATO) mechanism based on convergence of communication and sensing is proposed. In the TATO mechanism, a task vehicle can adaptively upload the input data to some SNs and transmit the computation instructions to others which use the environmental data sensed by themselves as input. The objective is to minimize the overall response time …
