To reduce latency and energy consumption of edge computing, deep learning is used to learn the task offloading strategies by interacting with the entities. In actual application scenarios, users of edge computing are always changing dynamically. However, the existing task offloading strategies cannot be applied to such dynamic scenarios. To solve this problem, we propose a novel dynamic task offloading framework for distributed edge computing, leveraging the potential of meta-reinforcement learning (MRL). Our approach formulates a multi-objective optimization problem aimed at minimizing both delay and energy consumption. We model the task offloading strategy using a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Furthermore, we propose a distributed edge computing adaptive task offloading algorithm rooted in MRL. This algorithm integrates multiple Markov decision processes (MDP) with a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) network, enabling it to learn and adapt task offloading strategies responsively across diverse network environments. To achieve joint optimization of delay and energy consumption, we incorporate the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) into our framework. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed solution, achieving a 21% reduction in time delay and a 19% decrease in energy consumption compared to alternative task offloading schemes. Moreover, our scheme exhibits remarkable adaptability, responding swiftly to changes in various network environments.展开更多

Fog computing is a potential solution to improve advanced vehicular services by enabling computational offloading at the edge of network. In this paper, we propose a fog-cloud computational offloading algorithm in Internet of Vehicles(IoV) to both minimize the power consumption of vehicles and that of the computational facilities. First, we establish the system model, and then formulate the offloading problem as an optimization problem, which is NP-hard. After that, we propose a heuristic algorithm to solve the offloading problem gradually. Specifically, we design a predictive combination transmission mode for vehicles, and establish a deep learning model for computational facilities to obtain the optimal workload allocation. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our algorithm in energy efficiency and network latency.展开更多

文摘Low Earth orbit(LEO)satellite networks have the advantages of low transmission delay and low deployment cost,playing an important role in providing reliable services to ground users.This paper studies an efficient inter-satellite cooperative computation offloading(ICCO)algorithm for LEO satellite networks.Specifically,an ICCO system model is constructed,which considers using neighboring satellites in the LEO satellite networks to collaboratively process tasks generated by ground user terminals,effectively improving resource utilization efficiency.Additionally,the optimization objective of minimizing the system task computation offloading delay and energy consumption is established,which is decoupled into two sub-problems.In terms of computational resource allocation,the convexity of the problem is proved through theoretical derivation,and the Lagrange multiplier method is used to obtain the optimal solution of computational resources.To deal with the task offloading decision,a dynamic sticky binary particle swarm optimization algorithm is designed to obtain the offloading decision by iteration.Simulation results show that the ICCO algorithm can effectively reduce the delay and energy consumption.
文摘The integration of technologies like artificial intelligence,6G,and vehicular ad-hoc networks holds great potential to meet the communication demands of the Internet of Vehicles and drive the advancement of vehicle applications.However,these advancements also generate a surge in data processing requirements,necessitating the offloading of vehicular tasks to edge servers due to the limited computational capacity of vehicles.Despite recent advancements,the robustness and scalability of the existing approaches with respect to the number of vehicles and edge servers and their resources,as well as privacy,remain a concern.In this paper,a lightweight offloading strategy that leverages ubiquitous connectivity through the Space Air Ground Integrated Vehicular Network architecture while ensuring privacy preservation is proposed.The Internet of Vehicles(IoV)environment is first modeled as a graph,with vehicles and base stations as nodes,and their communication links as edges.Secondly,vehicular applications are offloaded to suitable servers based on latency using an attention-based heterogeneous graph neural network(HetGNN)algorithm.Subsequently,a differential privacy stochastic gradient descent trainingmechanism is employed for privacypreserving of vehicles and offloading inference.Finally,the simulation results demonstrated that the proposedHetGNN method shows good performance with 0.321 s of inference time,which is 42.68%,63.93%,30.22%,and 76.04% less than baseline methods such as Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient,Deep Q Learning,Deep Neural Network,and Genetic Algorithm,respectively.
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Task scheduling in cloud computing is a multi-objective optimization problem,often involving conflicting objectives such as minimizing execution time,reducing operational cost,and maximizing resource utilization.However,traditional approaches frequently rely on single-objective optimization methods which are insufficient for capturing the complexity of such problems.To address this limitation,we introduce MDMOSA(Multi-objective Dwarf Mongoose Optimization with Simulated Annealing),a hybrid that integrates multi-objective optimization for efficient task scheduling in Infrastructure-as-a-Service(IaaS)cloud environments.MDMOSA harmonizes the exploration capabilities of the biologically inspired Dwarf Mongoose Optimization(DMO)with the exploitation strengths of Simulated Annealing(SA),achieving a balanced search process.The algorithm aims to optimize task allocation by reducing makespan and financial cost while improving system resource utilization.We evaluate MDMOSA through extensive simulations using the real-world Google Cloud Jobs(GoCJ)dataset within the CloudSim environment.Comparative analysis against benchmarked algorithms such as SMOACO,MOTSGWO,and MFPAGWO reveals that MDMOSA consistently achieves superior performance in terms of scheduling efficiency,cost-effectiveness,and scalability.These results confirm the potential of MDMOSA as a robust and adaptable solution for resource scheduling in dynamic and heterogeneous cloud computing infrastructures.

文摘As an important complement to cloud computing, edge computing can effectively reduce the workload of the backbone network. To reduce latency and energy consumption of edge computing, deep learning is used to learn the task offloading strategies by interacting with the entities. In actual application scenarios, users of edge computing are always changing dynamically. However, the existing task offloading strategies cannot be applied to such dynamic scenarios. To solve this problem, we propose a novel dynamic task offloading framework for distributed edge computing, leveraging the potential of meta-reinforcement learning (MRL). Our approach formulates a multi-objective optimization problem aimed at minimizing both delay and energy consumption. We model the task offloading strategy using a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Furthermore, we propose a distributed edge computing adaptive task offloading algorithm rooted in MRL. This algorithm integrates multiple Markov decision processes (MDP) with a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) network, enabling it to learn and adapt task offloading strategies responsively across diverse network environments. To achieve joint optimization of delay and energy consumption, we incorporate the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) into our framework. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed solution, achieving a 21% reduction in time delay and a 19% decrease in energy consumption compared to alternative task offloading schemes. Moreover, our scheme exhibits remarkable adaptability, responding swiftly to changes in various network environments.

文摘With the dawning of the Internet of Everything(IoE) era, more and more novel applications are being deployed. However, resource constrained devices cannot fulfill the resource-requirements of these applications. This paper investigates the computation offloading problem of the coexistence and synergy between fog computing and cloud computing in IoE by jointly optimizing the offloading decisions, the allocation of computation resource and transmit power. Specifically, we propose an energy-efficient computation offloading and resource allocation(ECORA) scheme to minimize the system cost. The simulation results verify the proposed scheme can effectively decrease the system cost by up to 50% compared with the existing schemes, especially for the scenario that the computation resource of fog computing is relatively small or the number of devices increases.

文摘With the emergence of advanced vehicular applications, the challenge of satisfying computational and communication demands of vehicles has become increasingly prominent. Fog computing is a potential solution to improve advanced vehicular services by enabling computational offloading at the edge of network. In this paper, we propose a fog-cloud computational offloading algorithm in Internet of Vehicles(IoV) to both minimize the power consumption of vehicles and that of the computational facilities. First, we establish the system model, and then formulate the offloading problem as an optimization problem, which is NP-hard. After that, we propose a heuristic algorithm to solve the offloading problem gradually. Specifically, we design a predictive combination transmission mode for vehicles, and establish a deep learning model for computational facilities to obtain the optimal workload allocation. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our algorithm in energy efficiency and network latency.

文摘Non-panoramic virtual reality(VR)provides users with immersive experiences involving strong interactivity,thus attracting growing research and development attention.However,the demand for high bandwidth and low latency in VR services presents greater challenges to existing networks.Inspired by mobile edge computing(MEC),VR users can offload rendering tasks to other devices.The main challenge of task offloading is to minimize latency and energy consumption.Yet,in non-panoramic VR scenarios,it is essential to consider the Quality of Perceptual Experience(QOPE)for users.Simultaneously,one must also take into account the diverse requirements of users in real-world scenarios.Therefore,this paper proposes a QOPE model to measure the visual quality of non-panoramic VR users and models the non-panoramic VR task offloading problem based on MEC as a constrained multi-objective optimization problem(CMOP)that minimizes latency and energy consumption while providing a satisfied QOPE.And we propose an evolutionary algorithm(EA),GNSGA-II,to solve the CMOP.Simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively find various trade-off solutions among the objectives,satisfying the requirements of different users.

文摘With the rapid development of Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS),many new applications for Intelligent Connected Vehicles(ICVs)have sprung up.In order to tackle the conflict between delay-sensitive applications and resource-constrained vehicles,computation offloading paradigm that transfers computation tasks from ICVs to edge computing nodes has received extensive attention.However,the dynamic network conditions caused by the mobility of vehicles and the unbalanced computing load of edge nodes make ITS face challenges.In this paper,we propose a heterogeneous Vehicular Edge Computing(VEC)architecture with Task Vehicles(TaVs),Service Vehicles(SeVs)and Roadside Units(RSUs),and propose a distributed algorithm,namely PG-MRL,which jointly optimizes offloading decision and resource allocation.In the first stage,the offloading decisions of TaVs are obtained through a potential game.In the second stage,a multi-agent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient(DDPG),one of deep reinforcement learning algorithms,with centralized training and distributed execution is proposed to optimize the real-time transmission power and subchannel selection.The simulation results show that the proposed PG-MRL algorithm has significant improvements over baseline algorithms in terms of system delay.

文摘In the wake of major natural disasters or human-made disasters,the communication infrastruc-ture within disaster-stricken areas is frequently dam-aged.Unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs),thanks to their merits such as rapid deployment and high mobil-ity,are commonly regarded as an ideal option for con-structing temporary communication networks.Con-sidering the limited computing capability and battery power of UAVs,this paper proposes a two-layer UAV cooperative computing offloading strategy for emer-gency disaster relief scenarios.The multi-agent twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient(MATD3)algorithm integrated with prioritized experience replay(PER)is utilized to jointly optimize the scheduling strategies of UAVs,task offloading ratios,and their mobility,aiming to diminish the energy consumption and delay of the system to the minimum.In order to address the aforementioned non-convex optimiza-tion issue,a Markov decision process(MDP)has been established.The results of simulation experiments demonstrate that,compared with the other four base-line algorithms,the algorithm introduced in this paper exhibits better convergence performance,verifying its feasibility and efficacy.

文摘In task offloading,the movement of vehicles causes the switching of connected RSUs and servers,which may lead to task offloading failure or high service delay.In this paper,we analyze the impact of vehicle movements on task offloading and reveal that data preparation time for task execution can be minimized via forward-looking scheduling.Then,a Bi-LSTM-based model is proposed to predict the trajectories of vehicles.The service area is divided into several equal-sized grids.If the actual position of the vehicle and the predicted position by the model belong to the same grid,the prediction is considered correct,thereby reducing the difficulty of vehicle trajectory prediction.Moreover,we propose a scheduling strategy for delay optimization based on the vehicle trajectory prediction.Considering the inevitable prediction error,we take some edge servers around the predicted area as candidate execution servers and the data required for task execution are backed up to these candidate servers,thereby reducing the impact of prediction deviations on task offloading and converting the modest increase of resource overheads into delay reduction in task offloading.Simulation results show that,compared with other classical schemes,the proposed strategy has lower average task offloading delays.

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.
