Optimizing UAV Computation Offloading via MEC with Deep Deterministic
Policy Gradient
Abstract
Mobile edge computing (MEC) seems to be highly efficient to process the
generated data from IoT devices by providing computational resources
locating in close range to network edge. MEC can be promising in
reduction of latency and consumption of energy from data transmissions
from offloading computational tasks from IoT devices to nearby edge
servers. In this paper, a computation offloading optimization algorithm
is proposed which is based on deep deterministic policy gradient for
realistic Aurelia X6 Pro unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted MEC
systems. The proposed algorithm optimizes the offloading decision for
UAVs by taking task characteristics and the communication environment
into consideration. The simulation yields outcomes indicating that the
suggested algorithm can considerably enhance the competency of MEC
systems.
