Abstract(in English) Task offloading, that mobile nodes offload computational tasks to adjacent edge nodes (ENs) with excessive computing resources, has attracted great research attentions. To meet delay constraint, it is important to consider transmission delay and computation delay when offloading tasks to ENs. However,conventional methods assume a static environment in which nodes do not move, while communication may be disconnected in a dynamic environment where nodes move. In this paper, we propose a task offloading method considering the mobility of ENs with the aim of selecting appropriate ENs in such dynamic environment. Specifically, each node that offloads a task calculates the communicable time with ENs. After that, the task is offloaded to the EN whose transmission delay and calculation delay fall within the communicable time. Furthermore, the efficiency of the proposed method is confirmed via simulations.
