Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), which enables mobile terminals to offload computation tasks to servers located at the edge of the cellular networks, has been considered as an efficient approach to relieve the heavy computational burdens and realize an efficient computation offloading. Driven by the consequent requirement for proper resource allocations for computation offloading via MEC, in this paper, we propose a Deep-Q Network (DQN) based task offloading and resource allocation algorithm for the MEC. Specifically, we consider a MEC system in which every mobile terminal has multiple tasks offloaded to the edge server and design a joint task offloading decision and bandwidth allocation optimization to minimize the overall offloading cost in terms of energy cost, computation cost, and delay cost. Although the proposed optimization problem is a mixed integer nonlinear programming in nature, we exploit an emerging DQN technique to solve it. Extensive numerical results show that our proposed DQN-based approach can achieve the near-optimal performance。展开更多

Because of...Intelligent edge computing carries out edge devices of the Internet of things(Io T) for data collection, calculation and intelligent analysis, so as to proceed data analysis nearby and make feedback timely. Because of the mobility of mobile equipments(MEs), if MEs move among the reach of the small cell networks(SCNs), the offloaded tasks cannot be returned to MEs successfully. As a result, migration incurs additional costs. In this paper, joint task offloading and migration schemes in mobility-aware Mobile Edge Computing(MEC) network based on Reinforcement Learning(RL) are proposed to obtain the maximum system revenue. Firstly, the joint optimization problems of maximizing the total revenue of MEs are put forward, in view of the mobility-aware MEs. Secondly, considering time-varying computation tasks and resource conditions, the mixed integer non-linear programming(MINLP) problem is described as a Markov Decision Process(MDP). Then we propose a novel reinforcement learning-based optimization framework to work out the problem, instead traditional methods. Finally, it is shown that the proposed schemes can obviously raise the total revenue of MEs by giving simulation results.展开更多

In this paper, we present a cooperative computation offloading in the LEO satellite network with a three-tier computation architecture by leveraging the vertical cooperation among ground users, LEO satellites, and the cloud server, and the horizontal cooperation between LEO satellites. To improve the quality of service for ground users, we optimize the computation offloading decisions to minimize the total execution delay for ground users subject to the limited battery capacity of ground users and the computation capability of each LEO satellite. However, the formulated problem is a large-scale nonlinear integer programming problem as the number of ground users and LEO satellites increases, which is difficult to solve with general optimization algorithms. To address this challenging problem, we propose a distributed deep learning-based cooperative computation offloading(DDLCCO) algorithm, where multiple parallel deep neural networks(DNNs) are adopted to learn the computation offloading strategy dynamically. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve near-optimal performance with low computational complexity compared with other computation offloading strategies.展开更多

文摘Multi-access Edge Computing(MEC)is one of the key technologies of the future 5G network.By deploying edge computing centers at the edge of wireless access network,the computation tasks can be offloaded to edge servers rather than the remote cloud server to meet the requirements of 5G low-latency and high-reliability application scenarios.Meanwhile,with the development of IOV(Internet of Vehicles)technology,various delay-sensitive and compute-intensive in-vehicle applications continue to appear.Compared with traditional Internet business,these computation tasks have higher processing priority and lower delay requirements.In this paper,we design a 5G-based vehicle-aware Multi-access Edge Computing network(VAMECN)and propose a joint optimization problem of minimizing total system cost.In view of the problem,a deep reinforcement learningbased joint computation offloading and task migration optimization(JCOTM)algorithm is proposed,considering the influences of multiple factors such as concurrent multiple computation tasks,system computing resources distribution,and network communication bandwidth.And,the mixed integer nonlinear programming problem is described as a Markov Decision Process.Experiments show that our proposed algorithm can effectively reduce task processing delay and equipment energy consumption,optimize computing offloading and resource allocation schemes,and improve system resource utilization,compared with other computing offloading policies.

文摘The rapid growth of mobile internet services has yielded a variety of computation-intensive applications such as virtual/augmented reality. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), which enables mobile terminals to offload computation tasks to servers located at the edge of the cellular networks, has been considered as an efficient approach to relieve the heavy computational burdens and realize an efficient computation offloading. Driven by the consequent requirement for proper resource allocations for computation offloading via MEC, in this paper, we propose a Deep-Q Network (DQN) based task offloading and resource allocation algorithm for the MEC. Specifically, we consider a MEC system in which every mobile terminal has multiple tasks offloaded to the edge server and design a joint task offloading decision and bandwidth allocation optimization to minimize the overall offloading cost in terms of energy cost, computation cost, and delay cost. Although the proposed optimization problem is a mixed integer nonlinear programming in nature, we exploit an emerging DQN technique to solve it. Extensive numerical results show that our proposed DQN-based approach can achieve the near-optimal performance。

文摘Intelligent edge computing carries out edge devices of the Internet of things(Io T) for data collection, calculation and intelligent analysis, so as to proceed data analysis nearby and make feedback timely. Because of the mobility of mobile equipments(MEs), if MEs move among the reach of the small cell networks(SCNs), the offloaded tasks cannot be returned to MEs successfully. As a result, migration incurs additional costs. In this paper, joint task offloading and migration schemes in mobility-aware Mobile Edge Computing(MEC) network based on Reinforcement Learning(RL) are proposed to obtain the maximum system revenue. Firstly, the joint optimization problems of maximizing the total revenue of MEs are put forward, in view of the mobility-aware MEs. Secondly, considering time-varying computation tasks and resource conditions, the mixed integer non-linear programming(MINLP) problem is described as a Markov Decision Process(MDP). Then we propose a novel reinforcement learning-based optimization framework to work out the problem, instead traditional methods. Finally, it is shown that the proposed schemes can obviously raise the total revenue of MEs by giving simulation results.

文摘Handling the massive amount of data generated by Smart Mobile Devices(SMDs)is a challenging computational problem.Edge Computing is an emerging computation paradigm that is employed to conquer this problem.It can bring computation power closer to the end devices to reduce their computation latency and energy consumption.Therefore,this paradigm increases the computational ability of SMDs by collaboration with edge servers.This is achieved by computation offloading from the mobile devices to the edge nodes or servers.However,not all applications benefit from computation offloading,which is only suitable for certain types of tasks.Task properties,SMD capability,wireless channel state,and other factors must be counted when making computation offloading decisions.Hence,optimization methods are important tools in scheduling computation offloading tasks in Edge Computing networks.In this paper,we review six types of optimization methods-they are Lyapunov optimization,convex optimization,heuristic techniques,game theory,machine learning,and others.For each type,we focus on the objective functions,application areas,types of offloading methods,evaluation methods,as well as the time complexity of the proposed algorithms.We discuss a few research problems that are still open.Our purpose for this review is to provide a concise summary that can help new researchers get started with their computation offloading researches for Edge Computing networks.

文摘To reduce the transmission latency and mitigate the backhaul burden of the centralized cloud-based network services,the mobile edge computing(MEC)has been drawing increased attention from both industry and academia recently.This paper focuses on mobile users’computation offloading problem in wireless cellular networks with mobile edge computing for the purpose of optimizing the computation offloading decision making policy.Since wireless network states and computing requests have stochastic properties and the environment’s dynamics are unknown,we use the modelfree reinforcement learning(RL)framework to formulate and tackle the computation offloading problem.Each mobile user learns through interactions with the environment and the estimate of its performance in the form of value function,then it chooses the overhead-aware optimal computation offloading action(local computing or edge computing)based on its state.The state spaces are high-dimensional in our work and value function is unrealistic to estimate.Consequently,we use deep reinforcement learning algorithm,which combines RL method Q-learning with the deep neural network(DNN)to approximate the value functions for complicated control applications,and the optimal policy will be obtained when the value function reaches convergence.Simulation results showed that the effectiveness of the proposed method in comparison with baseline methods in terms of total overheads of all mobile users.

文摘With the development of the mobile communication technology,a wide variety of envisioned intelligent transportation systems have emerged and put forward more stringent requirements for vehicular communications.Most of computation-intensive and power-hungry applications result in a large amount of energy consumption and computation costs,which bring great challenges to the on-board system.It is necessary to exploit traffic offloading and scheduling in vehicular networks to ensure the Quality of Experience(QoE).In this paper,a joint offloading strategy based on quantum particle swarm optimization for the Mobile Edge Computing(MEC)enabled vehicular networks is presented.To minimize the delay cost and energy consumption,a task execution optimization model is formulated to assign the task to the available service nodes,which includes the service vehicles and the nearby Road Side Units(RSUs).For the task offloading process via Vehicle to Vehicle(V2V)communication,a vehicle selection algorithm is introduced to obtain an optimal offloading decision sequence.Next,an improved quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm for joint offloading is proposed to optimize the task delay and energy consumption.To maintain the diversity of the population,the crossover operator is introduced to exchange information among individuals.Besides,the crossover probability is defined to improve the search ability and convergence speed of the algorithm.Meanwhile,an adaptive shrinkage expansion factor is designed to improve the local search accuracy in the later iterations.Simulation results show that the proposed joint offloading strategy can effectively reduce the system overhead and the task completion delay under different system parameters.

文摘The cloud radio access network(C-RAN) and the fog computing have been recently proposed to tackle the dramatically increasing traffic demands and to provide better quality of service(QoS) to user equipment(UE).Considering the better computation capability of the cloud RAN(10 times larger than that of the fog RAN) and the lower transmission delay of the fog computing,we propose a joint resource allocation and coordinated computation offloading algorithm for the fog RAN(F-RAN),which takes the advantage of C-RAN and fog computing.Specifically,the F-RAN splits a computation task into the fog computing part and the cloud computing part.Based on the constraints of maximum transmission delay tolerance,fronthaul and backhaul capacity limits,we minimize the energy cost and obtain optimal computational resource allocation for multiple UE,transmission power allocation of each UE and the event splitting factor.Numerical results have been proposed with the comparison of existing methods.

文摘Low earth orbit(LEO) satellite network is an important development trend for future mobile communication systems, which can truly realize the“ubiquitous connection” of the whole world. In this paper, we present a cooperative computation offloading in the LEO satellite network with a three-tier computation architecture by leveraging the vertical cooperation among ground users, LEO satellites, and the cloud server, and the horizontal cooperation between LEO satellites. To improve the quality of service for ground users, we optimize the computation offloading decisions to minimize the total execution delay for ground users subject to the limited battery capacity of ground users and the computation capability of each LEO satellite. However, the formulated problem is a large-scale nonlinear integer programming problem as the number of ground users and LEO satellites increases, which is difficult to solve with general optimization algorithms. To address this challenging problem, we propose a distributed deep learning-based cooperative computation offloading(DDLCCO) algorithm, where multiple parallel deep neural networks(DNNs) are adopted to learn the computation offloading strategy dynamically. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve near-optimal performance with low computational complexity compared with other computation offloading strategies.

文摘Mobile edge computing(MEC)emerges as a paradigm to free mobile devices(MDs)from increasingly dense computing workloads in 6G networks.The quality of computing experience can be greatly improved by offloading computing tasks from MDs to MEC servers.Renewable energy harvested by energy harvesting equipments(EHQs)is considered as a promising power supply for users to process and offload tasks.In this paper,we apply the uniform mobility model of MDs to derive a more realistic wireless channel model in a multi-user MEC system with batteries as EHQs to harvest and storage energy.We investigate an optimization problem of the weighted sum of delay cost and energy cost of MDs in the MEC system.We propose an effective joint partial computation offloading and resource allocation(CORA)algorithm which is based on deep reinforcement learning(DRL)to obtain the optimal scheduling without prior knowledge of task arrival,renewable energy arrival as well as channel condition.The simulation results verify the efficiency of the proposed algorithm,which undoubtedly minimizes the cost of MDs compared with other benchmarks.

文摘Mobile Edge Computing(MEC)-based computation offloading is a promising application paradigm for serving large numbers of users with various delay and energy requirements.In this paper,we propose a flexible MECbased requirement-adaptive partial offloading model to accommodate each user's specific preference regarding delay and energy consumption.To address the dimensional differences between time and energy,we introduce two normalized parameters and then derive the computational overhead of processing tasks.Different from existing works,this paper considers practical variations in the user request patterns,and exploits a flexible partial offloading mode to minimize computation overheads subject to tolerable delay,task workload and power constraints.Since the resulting problem is non-convex,we decouple it into two convex subproblems and present an iterative algorithm to obtain a feasible offloading solution.Numerical experiments show that our proposed scheme achieves a significant improvement in computation overheads compared with existing schemes.
文摘Mobile Edge Computing(MEC)is a technology for the fifth-generation(5G)wireless communications to enable User Equipment(UE)to offload tasks to servers deployed at the edge of network.However,taking both delay and energy consumption into consideration in the 5G MEC system is usually complex and contradictory.Non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)enable more UEs to offload their computing tasks to MEC servers using the same spectrum resources to enhance the spectrum efficiency for 5G,which makes the problem even more complex in the NOMA-MEC system.In this work,a system utility maximization model is present to NOMA-MEC system,and two optimization algorithms based on Newton method and greedy algorithm respectively are proposed to jointly optimize the computing resource allocation,SIC order,transmission time slot allocation,which can easily achieve a better trade-off between the delay and energy consumption.The simulation results prove that the proposed method is effective for NOMA-MEC systems.

文摘In view of the randomness distribution of multiple users in the dynamic large-scale Internet of Things(IoT)scenario,comprehensively formulating available resources for fog nodes in the area and achieving computation services at low cost have become great challenges.As a result,this paper studies an efficient and intelligent computation offloading mechanism with resource allocation.Specifically,an optimization problem is formulated to minimize the total energy consumption of all tasks under the joint optimization of computation offloading decisions,bandwidth resources and transmission power.Meanwhile,a Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient-based Intelligent Computation Offloading(TD3PG-ICO)algorithm is proposed to solve this optimization problem.By combining the concept of the actor critic algorithm,the proposed algorithm designs two independent critic networks that can avoid the subjective prediction of a single critic network and better guide the policy network to generate the global optimal computation offloading policy.Additionally,this algorithm introduces a continuous variable discretization operation to select the target offloading node with random probability.The available resources of the target node are dynamically allocated to improve the model decision-making effect.Finally,the simulation results show that this proposed algorithm has faster convergence speed and good robustness.It can always approach the greedy algorithm with respect to the lowest total energy consumption.Furthermore,compared with full local and Deep Q-learning Network(DQN)-based computation offloading schemes,the total energy consumption can be reduced by an average of 15.53%and 6.41%,respectively.

文摘Reliable communication and intensive computing power cannot be provided effectively by temporary hot spots in disaster areas and complex terrain ground infrastructure.Mitigating this has greatly developed the application and integration of UAV and Mobile Edge Computing(MEC)to the Internet of Things(loT).However,problems such as multi-user and huge data flow in large areas,which contradict the reality that a single UAV is constrained by limited computing power,still exist.Due to allowing UAV collaboration to accomplish complex tasks,cooperative task offloading between multiple UAVs must meet the interdependence of tasks and realize parallel processing,which reduces the computing power consumption and endurance pressure of terminals.Considering the computing requirements of the user terminal,delay constraint of a computing task,energy constraint,and safe distance of UAV,we constructed a UAV-Assisted cooperative offloading energy efficiency system for mobile edge computing to minimize user terminal energy consumption.However,the resulting optimization problem is originally nonconvex and thus,difficult to solve optimally.To tackle this problem,we developed an energy efficiency optimization algorithm using Block Coordinate Descent(BCD)that decomposes the problem into three convex subproblems.Furthermore,we jointly optimized the number of local computing tasks,number of computing offloaded tasks,trajectories of UAV,and offloading matching relationship between multi-UAVs and multiuser terminals.Simulation results show that the proposed approach is suitable for different channel conditions and significantly saves the user terminal energy consumption compared with other benchmark schemes.
