Computation offloading scheme for RIS-empowered UAV edge network by Bin LI, Wenshuai LIU, Wancheng XIE, Zesong FEI

“…In order to address the challenge of low offloading rate caused by the obstacles blocking in the links between unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and ground users (GU) in urban scene, a partial task offloading scheme for UAV-enabled mobile edge computing with the aid of reconfigurable intelligence surface was proposed.A nonconvex and multivariable coupling stochastic optimization problem was formulated by the joint design of the computation task allocation, the transmit power of GU, the phase shift of RIS, UAV computation resource, and UAV trajectory, aiming at maximizing the minimum average data throughput of GU.By leveraging the properties of mathematical expectation, the stochastic optimization problem was transformed into a deterministic optimization problem.Then, the deterministic optimization problem was decomposed into three subproblems by using the block coordinate descent (BCD) algorithm.By introducing auxiliary variables, the nonconvex problems were transformed into convex optimization problems via the successive convex approximation and semidefinite relaxation, and then the approximate suboptimal solution of the original problem was obtained.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has good convergence performance and effectively improves the average data throughput of GU.…”

Adaptive-clustered image-block hierarchical DCT hybrid digital-analog wireless transmission method by Shu TANG, Peng YANG, Xianzhong XIE, Guangyi ZHOU, Jiaqing LI, Yu ZHAO

“…In order to achieve high quality image transmission, a novel hybrid digital-analog (HDA) wireless transmission method was proposed.Firstly, the image residual layer was constructed by subtracting the downsampled and upsampled images from the original image respectively.Secondly, an adaptive-clustered block-level discrete cosine transform (DCT) algorithm was proposed to efficiently remove the correlation between image pixels in the residual layer.Finally, an image block level-based unequal power allocation strategy for further boosting the quality of received images was proposed.Extensive experiments results demonstrate that the proposed method is significantly superior to existing successful hybrid digital analog image wireless transmission methods in both qualitative evaluation and quantitative measurement.…”

Secure data offloading strategy for multi-UAV wireless networks based on minimum energy consumption by Gaofeng CUI, Yuanyuan XU, Shanghong ZHANG, Weidong WANG

“…To solve the problems of ground passive eavesdropping when ground users offload data to the multi-UAV(unmanned aerial vehicle) edge computing network, a secure data offloading strategy that minimized system energy consumption by jointly optimizing user matching and resource allocation was proposed.Considering the constraints of system delay, communication resources and computing resources, the probability of security interruption was used to restrict the security performance of the data offload process.By using block coordinate descent and successive convex approximation algorithm, the user transmission power, offload factor, UAV computing resource allocation and jamming power were jointly optimized.A pair-wise stable user matching algorithm was proposed to minimize the total energy consumption of UAV system.Simulation results demonstrate that the algorithm can realize the safe offloading of data, and has good performance in energy consumption and delay by comparing with the conventional strategies.…”
