Deep reinforcement learning based task allocation mechanism for intelligent inspection in energy Internet by Siya XU, Yifei XING, Shaoyong GUO, Chao YANG, Xuesong QIU, Luoming MENG

“…In order to reduce the cost and improve efficiency of power line inspection, UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), which use mobile edge computing technology to access and process service data, are used to inspect power lines in the energy internet.However, due to the dynamic changes of UAV data transmission demand and geographical location, the edge server load will be unbalanced, which causes higher service processing delay and network energy consumption.Thus, an intelligent inspection task allocation mechanism for energy internet based on deep reinforcement learning was proposed.First, a two-layer edge network task offloading model was established to archive joint optimization of multi-objectives, such as delay and energy consumption.It was designed by comprehensively considering the route of UAV and edge nodes, different demands of services and limited service capabilities of edge nodes.Furthermore, based on Lyapunov optimization theory and dual-time-scaled mechanism, proximal policy optimization algorithm based deep reinforcement learning was used to solve the connection relationship and offloading strategy of edge servers between fixed edge sink layer and mobile edge access layer.The simulation results show that, the proposed mechanism can reduce the service request delay and system energy consumption while ensuring the stability of system.…”

Energy consumption optimization scheme in UAV-assisted MEC system based on optimal SIC order by Wei JI, Xuxin YANG, Fei LI, Ting LI, Yan LIANG, Yunchao SONG

“…In uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted mobile edge computing (MEC) system, the successive interference cancellation (SIC) order of NOMA became a bottleneck limiting the transmission performance of task offload in uplink link.To reduce the energy consumption of the system, the SIC order was discussed and the optimal SIC order based on channel gain and task delay constraint was proposed.The optimization problem of minimizing the system energy consumption was proposed based on the optimal SIC order while satisfying the constraints of the given task delay of the device, the maximum transmit power constraint of the device, and the UAV trajectory.Since the problem was a complex non-convex problem, an alternating optimization method was adopted to solve the optimization problem to achieve power allocation and UAV trajectory optimization.A low-complexity algorithm based on matching theory was proposed to obtain the optimal device grouping in different time slots.Simulation results show that the optimal SIC order can realize smaller system energy consumption under the same task delay constraint compared with other SIC order, the proposed low-complexity device grouping algorithm can obtain the optimal device grouping.…”

Channel estimation method of massive MIMO-OFDM system based on adaptive compressed sensing by Yiyang HU, Lina QI

“…Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is a solution for efficiently providing connection services for a variety of machine equipment in the Internet of things (IoT), and efficient connection services require accurate channel estimation.Aimed at the problems of high pilot overhead and poor performance of normalized mean square error (NMSE) estimation in downlink channel estimation of massive MIMO systems, based on the compressed sensing (CS) theory, the common sparsity of the channel space domain was combined while using the feature of lower sparsity of adjacent time slot differential channel impulse response (CIR), which leaded to a significant reduction in pilot overhead.In the reconstruction algorithm, a two-stage differential estimation algorithm, which divided the channel estimation in consecutive time slots with time correlation into two stages, was proposed and the idea of adaptive compressed sensing was combined to achieve fast and accurate CIR estimate.The simulation results show that the proposed two-stage differential channel estimation algorithm not only has a significant improvement in the estimated NMSE performance and data transmission rate compared to the existing CS-based multiple measurement vector (MMV) algorithm, but also show a certain reduction in runtime complexity.…”
