Cooperative Offloading and Resource Allocation with MultiAgent Deep Reinforcement Learning in MEC
Mobile edge computing (MEC) has emerged as a key technology to alleviate the computation workloads and decrease service latency for computationintensive applications by offloading the tasks to MEC servers. However, the existing computation offloading and resource allocation studies present some several problems: poor collaboration between edge servers; mismatch between the computational task arrival and the dynamic characteristics in the real environment; and the dynamic joint optimization problem of the collaborative task unload and resource allocation. To solve such issues, based on the collaborative MEC framework, a multiagent based deep deterministic policy gradient (MADDPG) is proposed for task unloading and resource allocation to minimize the overall longterm average cost. Simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme can reduce the delay and energy consumption.
