在多接入边缘计算(MEC)领域,高效的任务卸载对提升资源利用率和降低延迟至关重要,尤其在环境动态变化时。本文提出一种新型多任务域适应(MTDA)方法,旨在增强计算卸载模型在域偏移下的泛化能力——即目标环境新数据与源域数据差异较大时。所提MTDA模型采用师生架构,推理时无需访问源域数据,既保障隐私又降低计算开销。通过多任务学习框架,同时优化卸载决策与资源分配,在不同用户数量增加的场景下,显著优于基准方法,均方误差更小、准确率更高。计算机仿真表明,该模型在多种环境下均保持高性能,具备在新兴MEC应用中实际部署的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In the field of multi-access edge computing (MEC), efficient computation offloading is crucial for improving resource utilization and reducing latency in dynamically changing environments. This paper introduces a new approach, termed as Multi-Task Domain Adaptation (MTDA), aiming to enhance the ability of computational offloading models to generalize in the presence of domain shifts, i.e., when new data in the target environment significantly differs from the data in the source domain. The proposed MTDA model incorporates a teacher-student architecture that allows continuous adaptation without necessitating access to the source domain data during inference, thereby maintaining privacy and reducing computational overhead. Utilizing a multi-task learning framework that simultaneously manages offloading decisions and resource allocation, the proposed MTDA approach outperforms benchmark methods regarding mean squared error and accuracy, particularly in environments with increasing numbers of users. It is observed by means of computer simulation that the proposed MTDA model maintains high performance across various scenarios, demonstrating its potential for practical deployment in emerging MEC applications.
