SFDWA: Secure and Fault-Tolerant Aware Delay Optimal Workload Assignment Schemes in Edge Computing for Internet of Drone Things Applications

The number of automobiles has rapidly increased in recent years. To broaden inhabitant’s travel options, push transportation infrastructures to their limitations. With the rapid expansion of vehicles, traffic congestion and car accidents are all common occurrences in the city. The Internet of drone vehicle things (IoDV) has developed a new paradigm for improving traffic situations in urban areas. However, edge computing has the following issues such as fault-tolerant and security-enabled delay optimal workload assignment. The study formulates the workload assignment problem for IoV applications based on linear integer programming. The study devises the fault-tolerant and security delay optimal workload assignment (SFDWA) schemes that determine optimal workload assignment in edge computing. The goal is to minimize average response time, which combines network, computation, security, and fault-tolerant delay. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes gain 15% optimal workload assignment for IoV application compared to existing studies.
