Abstract

Combined with wireless power transfer (WPT) technology, mobile edge computing can provide continuous energy supply and computing resources for mobile devices, and improve their battery life and business application scenarios. This article first designs the mobile edge computing (MEC) model of mobile devices with random mobility and hybrid access point (HAP) with data transmission and energy transmission. On this basis, the selection of target server and the amount of data offloading are taken as the learning objectives, and the task offloading strategy based on multi-agent deep reinforcement learning is constructed. Then combined with MADDPG algorithm and SAC algorithm, the problems of multi-agent environment instability and the difficulty of convergence are solved. The final experimental results show that the improved algorithm based on MADDPG and SAC has good stability and convergence. Compared with other algorithms, it has achieved good results in energy consumption, delay and task failure rate.
