Cover Story: With the increasing complexity of intelligent applications within the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), ensuring the timeliness of information has become a critical challenge for intelligent decision-making. Therefore, this paper introduces the Age of Information (AoI) as a key metric for timeliness assessments and focuses on minimizing the AoI in a vehicular edge computing network that integrates both vehicle-to-infrastructure and vehicle-to-vehicle offloading modes. To address the challenges of joint optimization under dynamic network conditions, a deep reinforcement-learning-based method is proposed. Our simulation results show that the proposed method achieves better performance in reducing the system’s average AoI compared with other baseline methods. View this paper
