Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-assisted Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) can provide mobile users (MU) with additional computing services and a wide range of connectivity. This paper investigates the joint optimization strategy of task offloading and resource allocation for UAV-assisted MEC systems in complex scenarios with the goal of reducing the total system cost, consisting of task execution latency and energy consumption. We adopt a game theoretic approach to model the interaction process between the MEC server and the MU Stackelberg bilayer game model. Then, the original problem with complex multi-constraints is transformed into a duality problem using the Lagrangian duality method. Furthermore, we prove that the modeled Stackelberg bilayer game has a unique Nash equilibrium solution. In order to obtain an approximate optimal solution to the proposed problem, we propose a two-stage alternating iteration (TASR) algorithm based on the subgradient method and the marginal revenue optimization method. We evaluate the effective performance of the proposed algorithm through detailed simulation experiments. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is superior and robust compared to other benchmark methods and can effectively reduce the task execution latency and total system cost in different scenarios.

With the increase of the number of Mobile User Equipments (MUEs), numerous tasks that with high requirements of resources are generated. However, the MUEs have limited computational resources, computing power and storage space. In this paper, a joint coverage constrained task offloading and resource allocation method based on deep reinforcement learning is proposed. The aim is offloading the tasks that cannot be processed locally to the edge servers to alleviate the conflict between the resource constraints of MUEs and the high performance task processing. The studied problem considers the dynamic variability and complexity of the system model, coverage, offloading decisions, communication relationships and resource constraints. An entropy weight method is used to optimize the resource allocation process and balance the energy consumption and execution time. The results of the study show that the number of tasks and MUEs affects the execution time and energy consumption of the task offloading and resource allocation processes in the interest of the service provider, and enhances the user experience.
