description As service latency and core network load relates to performance issues in the conventional cloud-based computing environment, the fog computing system has gained a lot of interest. However, since the load can be concentrated on specific fog computing nodes because of spatial and temporal service characteristics, performance degradation can occur, resulting in quality of service (QoS) degradation, especially for delay-sensitive services. Therefore, this paper proposes a prioritized task distribution scheme, which considers static as well as opportunistic fog computing nodes according to their mobility feature. Based on the requirements of offloaded tasks, the proposed scheme supports delay sensitive task processing at the static fog node and delay in-sensitive tasks by means of opportunistic fog nodes for task distribution. To assess the performance of the proposed scheme, we develop an analytic model for the service response delay. Extensive simulation results are given to validate the analytic model and to show the performance of the proposed scheme, compared to the conventional schemes in terms of service response delay and outage probability.
