ALLOCATING PROCESSING RESOURCES OF 5G-ENABLED VEHICLES

Systems and methods for allocating processing resources of 5G-enabled vehicles for endpoint users are provided. In one example, a method includes: receiving a request from a user equipment (UE) in an endpoint environment, the request indicating a demand for processing resources on an edge server to perform a task for the UE; identifying a first 5G-enabled vehicle in proximity to the endpoint environment; determining an operational state and a power state of the first 5G-enabled vehicle; determining availability of a first processing resource carried by the first 5G-enabled vehicle; determining whether the first processing resource carried by the first 5G-enabled vehicle meets the demand of the user equipment; and allocating the first processing resource carried by the first 5G-enabled vehicle and causing the first 5G-enabled vehicle to serve as an edge server to perform the task for the user equipment using the allocated first processing resource.
