This article studies a mobile edge computing (MEC) with one edge node (EN), where multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) act as users which have some heavy tasks. As the users generally have limitations in both calculating and power supply, the EN can help calculate the tasks and meanwhile supply the power to the users through energy harvesting. We optimize the system by proposing a joint strategy to unpacking and energy harvesting. Specifically, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm is implemented to provide a solution to the unpacking, while several analytical solutions are given to the power allocation of energy harvesting among multiple users. In particular, criterion I is the equivalent power allocation, criterion II is designed through equal data rate, while criterion III is based on the equivalent transmission delay. We finally give some results to verify the joint strategy for the UAV-aided multiuser MEC system with energy harvesting.
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.
