Hierarchical Task Offloading for UAV-Assisted Vehicular Edge Computing via Deep Reinforcement Learning
- 分层设计:高空无人机中继+低空无人机计算,协同调度异构资源。
- 相比基线方法,任务完成率提升18%,系统延迟降低23%,收敛更快。
- 适合动态车联网环境,尤其适用于高密度交通场景下的实时计算需求。
随着车载网络中计算密集型与延迟敏感型应用的兴起,由于高机动性和灵活部署能力,无人机(UAV)已成为车载边缘计算的有力补充。然而,现有无人机辅助卸载策略在协调异构计算资源和适应动态网络条件方面仍显不足。为此,本文提出一种基于部分卸载的双层无人机辅助边缘计算架构,由高空无人机的中继能力与低空无人机的计算支持共同构成。该架构实现了异构资源的有效集成与协调。针对系统延迟、能耗最小化及任务完成率保障,构建联合优化问题。为解决高维决策难题,将问题重构为马尔可夫决策过程,并提出基于软演员-评论家算法的分层卸载方案。该方法解耦全局与局部决策:全局决策将卸载比例与轨迹规划合并为连续动作,局部调度则通过优先级机制实现。仿真结果表明,所提方法在任务完成率、系统效率与收敛速度上均优于多个基线,展现出在动态车载环境中强大的鲁棒性与适用性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
With the emergence of compute-intensive and delay-sensitive applications in vehicular networks, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as a promising complement for vehicular edge computing due to the high mobility and flexible deployment. However, the existing UAV-assisted offloading strategies are insufficient in coordinating heterogeneous computing resources and adapting to dynamic network conditions. Hence, this paper proposes a dual-layer UAV-assisted edge computing architecture based on partial offloading, composed of the relay capability of high-altitude UAVs and the computing support of low-altitude UAVs. The proposed architecture enables efficient integration and coordination of heterogeneous resources. A joint optimization problem is formulated to minimize the system delay and energy consumption while ensuring the task completion rate. To solve the high-dimensional decision problem, we reformulate the problem as a Markov decision process and propose a hierarchical offloading scheme based on the soft actor-critic algorithm. The method decouples global and local decisions, where the global decisions integrate offloading ratios and trajectory planning into continuous actions, while the local scheduling is handled via designing a priority-based mechanism. Simulations are conducted and demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms several baselines in task completion rate, system efficiency, and convergence speed, showing strong robustness and applicability in dynamic vehicular environments.
