Integrating components of vehicular network with the Internet has emerged recently for fulfilling the ever-growing demand for a safe and comfortable driving experience. Road Side Unit (RSU) clouds help in serving requests arriving from vehicles but are limited by available resources. It is also required to reduce the overhead cost corresponding to Virtual Machine (VM) migrations caused by high mobility of vehicles. Also, requests need to be served within their stipulated delay constraint. In this work, we propose a novel algorithm to schedule requests at RSU clouds. Our algorithm efficiently schedules service requests from vehicles while taking care of their delay constraints and VM migrations. The simulation results confirm that our proposed scheduling technique helps in serving more number of requests within their stipulated delay constraint with lesser VM migrations.
