In order to solve the problem of task offloading with dependent subtasks in mobile edge computing (MEC), we propose a graph mapping offloading model based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL). We model the user's computing task as directed acyclic graph (DAG), called DAG task. Then the DAG task is converted into a topological sequence composed of task vectors according to the custom priority. And the model we proposed can map the topological sequence to offloading decisions. The offloading problem is formulated as a Markov decision process (MDP) to minimize the tradeoff between latency and energy consumption. The evaluation results demonstrate that our DRL-based graph mapping offloading model has better decision-making ability, which proves the availability and effectiveness of the model.Index Terms-mobile edge computing (MEC), task offloading, directed acyclic graph (DAG), Markov decision process (MDP), deep reinforcement learning (DRL)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
