Joint task offloading and trajectory optimization for multi-UAV assisted mobile edge computing
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted mobile edge computing system was proposed in which multiple UAVs equipped with computing resources were employed to provide computation offloading opportunities for mobile users with limited local resources.The computing tasks of each user can be divided into two parts.One portion was offloaded to its associated UAV for computing and the remaining portion was processed locally.It was aimed at minimizing the sum of the maximum delay among all user devices by jointly optimizing the user scheduling and the UAV trajectory in a finite period.The proposed problem was a mixed-integer non-convex optimization problem.To facilitate solving this problem
it was equivalently converted into a more tractable problem by introducing some auxiliary variables
and then a penalty concave-convex procedure algorithm was proposed to solve the converted problem.Simulation results show that the proposed joint optimization scheme achieves significantly better performance than other benchmark schemes.
