论文摘要
FOG无线电访问网络（F-RAN）是一项有前途的技术，用户移动设备（MDS）可以将计算任务卸载到附近的FOG接入点（F-APS）。由于F-APS的资源有限，因此设计有效的任务卸载方案很重要。在本文中，通过考虑随时间变化的网络环境，制定了动态计算的卸载和资源分配问题，以最大程度地减少MD的任务执行延迟和能源消耗。为了解决该问题，提出了基于联合的深入加固学习（DRL）算法，其中深层确定性策略梯度（DDPG）算法在每个F-AP中执行计算卸载和资源分配。利用联合学习来训练DDPG代理，以降低培训过程的计算复杂性并保护用户隐私。仿真结果表明，与其他现有策略相比，提议的联合DDPG算法可以更快地实现MDS的任务执行延迟和MDS的能源消耗较低。
The fog radio access network (F-RAN) is a promising technology in which the user mobile devices (MDs) can offload computation tasks to the nearby fog access points (F-APs). Due to the limited resource of F-APs, it is important to design an efficient task offloading scheme. In this paper, by considering time-varying network environment, a dynamic computation offloading and resource allocation problem in F-RANs is formulated to minimize the task execution delay and energy consumption of MDs. To solve the problem, a federated deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based algorithm is proposed, where the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm performs computation offloading and resource allocation in each F-AP. Federated learning is exploited to train the DDPG agents in order to decrease the computing complexity of training process and protect the user privacy. Simulation results show that the proposed federated DDPG algorithm can achieve lower task execution delay and energy consumption of MDs more quickly compared with the other existing strategies.
