Description

Simulated annealing based calculation unloading and resource allocation method in heterogeneous MEC calculation platform
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mobile edges, in particular to a calculation unloading and resource allocation method in a heterogeneous MEC calculation platform based on simulated annealing.
Background
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), an extension of cloud Computing, is receiving increasing attention from both academic and industrial circles to provide IT cloud services for User Equipment (UE) at the Edge of a network. The MEC research currently deploys the MEC server mainly in a ground network, and the combination of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and MECs in the sky has a significant advantage compared to the ground MEC network. Firstly, the UAV has strong maneuverability, so the deployment is flexible, and the UAV can be deployed in a burst hot spot area or a place which is difficult to be covered by a traditional MEC network; secondly, because the UAV and the ground mobile device are generally in a non-shielding state, a line-of-sight communication mode is adopted, and therefore the UAV and the ground mobile device have the characteristic of large-capacity transmission. How to jointly consider the problems of computing offloading and computing resource allocation in the ground MEC network and the UAV-MEC network to achieve the minimization of user energy consumption within the network is a little consideration.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a method for computing offloading and resource allocation in a heterogeneous MEC computing platform based on simulated annealing, which can effectively reduce the total energy consumption of users in a network.
In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a method for computation offload and resource allocation in a heterogeneous MEC computing platform based on Simulated Annealing (SA), which includes the following steps:
(1) initializing parameters s, E, Z, a, t0,tth,snext＝s,Enext＝s,sbest＝s,EbestE, where s denotes the unloaded state, i.e. s ═ { ω1,..,ωi,...,ωNWhere ω isiIndicating the offload decision of the UE, the set of offload decisions of the UE is indicated as
Figure BDA0002629189600000011
If UEi decides to offload a task to timeslot t of UAV-MEC or MBS-MEC platform m, this decision action is denoted as pmt,
Figure BDA0002629189600000012
If UEi decides to compute a task locally, the decision action is denoted as p00；
(2) Performing steps (3) to (6) on Z, wherein Z represents the length of a Markov chain in a simulated annealing algorithm;
(3) after the current state s is determined, the offloading platforms of all UEs are also determined, and then the optimization problem of the computational resource allocation matrix F is considered;
(4) by sbestRepresenting the optimal state in the simulated annealing process by s in each iterationbestComparing with the current state s to avoid losing the current optimum state during Metropolis execution if Enext＜EbestUpdate sbest＝snext,Ebest＝Enext；
(5) Calculating an evaluation function difference Δ E-Enext；
(6) When the UE's offload status s changes to snextWhen the corresponding energy consumption changes from E to EnextThe unload state accepts theThe probability of change is expressed as
Figure BDA0002629189600000021
If E < EnextThen receive snextAnd according to snextReallocating the minimum computing resource; otherwise, a random number p is generatedrandE (0,1), if p (s → s)next)＜prandThen reject snextIf p (s → s)next)≥prandThen receive snext；
(7) Updating the current temperature t0←a*t0Wherein alpha (0 < alpha < 1) is a temperature-annealing constant, if a temperature-termination condition t is satisfied0≤tthThen output the current sbestAnd Ebest。
Preferably, in the step (3), the optimization problem of the calculation resource allocation matrix F is specifically considered as follows: if UEi decides to offload a task onto MEC platform m, take offload decision action pmtThen to ensure the user delay constraint, the minimum computing resource allocated by the MEC platform m for the task is expressed as
Figure BDA0002629189600000022
If less computing resources are allocated than
Figure BDA0002629189600000023
The task cannot be completed in one time slot; furthermore, if UEi decides to take an offload decision action p00If the UE local equipment completes the task within the specified time delay, the minimum local resource allocated to the UE task is
Figure BDA0002629189600000031
For each UE in the network, not all actions in its offload decision action set C can satisfy the constraints,for example, the MEC platform can allocate the computing resource less than the minimum computing resource required by the UE task
Figure BDA0002629189600000032
Or UAV-MEC or MBS-MEC reaches the maximum service number constraint in a certain time slot, or UAVj reaches the maximum value of the total calculation power of the task in the time slot t, or the task completion time from UEi to MEC platform m is too long, so that the task cannot be completed in one time slot t; therefore, for the offload decision set C of the UEi in a certain state s, the above-mentioned invalid action needs to be removed from C, and finally the valid action set C of the UEi is formedi(ii) a Active action set C from UEiiIn the random selection of action pmtUpdating the state s, then distributing the minimum computing resource for the UE according to the minimum computing resource distribution process, and finally obtaining the next unloading decision state snext(ii) a Finally, according to the total energy consumption of UE in the network, the total energy consumption is used as a certain unloading state s and snextEvaluation function of (1), denoted as E and Enext。
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the invention is based on a space-ground combined MEC network, three unloading modes of local unloading, MBS-MEC server unloading and UAV-MEC server unloading are considered in the network, a user side energy consumption minimization problem model is constructed, the maximum service number and the maximum computing resource constraint of a heterogeneous server are considered in the problem, the computing power constraint of the UAV is considered, an unloading algorithm based on simulated annealing is found through computer simulation, and compared with the traditional algorithm, the invention effectively reduces the total energy consumption of users in the network.

The elements in the set are UAVs for a certain flight time slot t, each of which can provide computational offload services for UEs on the ground. The invention assumes that the position of the UAVj in each time slot changes little relative to the UE, and the change in position between the two can be ignored, so that the UAV position is considered to be unchanged within the time slot t. In addition, the service period of the MEC server located at MBSk can be discretized into a set of service slots due to the change of channel characteristics

In the MEC network, the task execution time mainly includes the uplink transmission time of the data to be calculated, the task calculation time and the result downlink transmission time. Considering that most application types have the characteristic of less result bit number, the result downlink transmission time is omitted from the total task execution time, and the task execution time can be represented as

Wherein A isUIs the UAVj maximum service number constraint, however since MEC servers have limited computational resources and UAVs have less computational resource carrying capacity, the UAV-MBS computational resource constraint can be expressed as

Where L represents the length of one slot. The invention considers the UE unloading problem and the calculation resource distribution problem in the MEC network at the same time, and considers that the elements in the UE unloading decision matrix A are integers of 0-1 and the elements in the calculation resource distribution matrix F are continuous variables, so the problem is the Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) problem.
(5) Description of algorithms
The invention discusses the unloading algorithm based on simulated annealing, and the specific flow is as follows
Step1 initializes parameters s, E, Z, a, t0,tth,snext＝s,Enext＝s,sbest＝s,EbestE. Where s denotes the unloaded state of the invention, i.e. s ═ ω1,..,ωi,...,ωNWhere ω isiIndicating the offload decision of the UEi. In the present model, the set of offloading decisions for a UE can be expressed as
Figure BDA0002629189600000095
If UEi decides to offload a task to timeslot t of UAV-MEC or MBS-MEC platform m, we denote this decision action as pmt,
Figure BDA0002629189600000101
If UEi decides to compute a task locally, we denote this decision action as p00。
Step2 makes steps 3 through Step6 for Z1.., Z (Z denotes the markov chain length in the simulated annealing algorithm); step3 for UEi 1.., N, after the current state s is determined, the offload platforms of all UEs are also determined, at which time we consider the computational resource allocation matrix F optimization problem. If UEi decides to offload a task onto MEC platform m, take offload decision action pmtThen to guarantee the user delay constraint, the minimum computing resource allocated by the MEC platform m for the task can be expressed as
Figure BDA0002629189600000102
If less computing resources are allocated than
Figure BDA0002629189600000103
The task cannot be completed in one time slot; furthermore, if UEi decides to take an offload decision action p00If the UE local equipment completes the task within the specified time delay, the minimum local resource allocated to the UE task is
Figure BDA0002629189600000104
For each UE in the network, not all actions in the offload decision action set C can satisfy the constraint, e.g., the MEC platform can allocate less computing resources than the minimum computing resources required for the UE task
Figure BDA0002629189600000109
Or UAV-MEC orThe MBS-MEC reaches the maximum service number constraint in a certain time slot, or the UAVj reaches the maximum value of the total task calculation power in the time slot t, or the task completion time from the UEi to the MEC platform m is too long, so the task cannot be completed in one time slot t. Hence offload decision set for UEi in a certain state s
Figure BDA0002629189600000105
We need to get from
Figure BDA0002629189600000106
Removing the invalid action and finally forming the valid action set of UEi
Figure BDA0002629189600000107
We are working set of actions from UEi
Figure BDA0002629189600000108
In the random selection of action pmtUpdating the state s, then distributing the minimum computing resource for the UE according to the minimum computing resource distribution process, and finally obtaining the next unloading decision state snext. Finally, the total energy consumption of the UE in the network is taken as a certain unloading state s and s according to the objective function in the formula (29)nextEvaluation function of (1), denoted as E and Enext。
Step4 in the present invention, we use sbestShowing the optimal state in the simulated annealing process. During each iteration we use sbestCompared to the current state s to avoid losing the current optimal state during execution of Metropolis. If E isnext＜EbestUpdate sbest＝snext,Ebest＝Enext；
Step5 calculates the evaluation function difference Δ E-Enext；
Step6 when the UE's offload status s changes to snextWhen the corresponding energy consumption changes from E to Enext. The probability that the unloaded state will accept the change can be expressed as
Figure BDA0002629189600000111
If E < EnextThen receive snextAnd according to snextReallocating the minimum computing resource; otherwise, a random number p is generatedrandE (0,1), if p (s → s)next)＜prandThen reject snextIf p (s → s)next)≥prandThen receive snext。
Step7 updating the current temperature t0←a*t0Wherein α (0 < α < 1) is the annealing constant. If the temperature termination condition t is satisfied0≤tthThen output the current sbestAnd Ebest。

The user transmit power is 23dbm, the noise power spectral density at UAV is set to-169 dbm/Hz, and the noise power spectral density at MBS is set to-174 dbm/Hz. For bandwidth resources in the network, the invention considers that the average bandwidth from the UAV to the UE is 1MHz, and the average bandwidth from the MBS to the UE is 900 kHz. The maximum calculated power within one slot of the UAV is constrained to 10W. The UE to-be-calculated task is generated from a network service application set, and the communication data volume size is compliant to 100,1000]KB are evenly distributed, the size of the computational resource demand obeys [108,109]The cycels are uniformly distributed and the capacitance k is effectively convertedi＝10-27W/(cycles/s) ^ 3. The path loss factor between MBS and UE is taken as zeta 4, and the shadow fading standard deviation in time slot is

The maximum access number in the time slot of the UAV and MBS unit is respectively10 and 15, the slot length L is set to 1000 milliseconds.
The method comprises the following specific steps:
step1 initializes parameters s, E, Z, a, t0,tth,snext＝s,Enext＝s,sbest＝s,Ebest＝E；
Step2 for L ═ 1, …, L from Step3 to Step 6;

In fig. 2 the invention compares the performance of four algorithms with a smaller number of UEs and tasks in the MEC network. RO represents a Random Offloading algorithm (RO), i.e., the UE randomly selects a platform and a timeslot to offload; RLUO denotes a UAV platform Reinforcement Learning offloading (RLUO), that is, UE either offloads the task into the UAV timeslot or selects local computation and learns the offloading strategy using the Reinforcement Learning algorithm; RLBO stands for UAV platform Reinforcement Learning offloading (RLBO), i.e., the UE either offloads tasks into the service slots of the MBS-MEC, or selects local computation, and learns offloading strategies using Reinforcement Learning algorithm. With the increase of the number of the UE, the SA algorithm achieves the energy consumption performance far better than the RO, RLUO and RLBO algorithms. This is because RLUO and RLBO can only provide UAV-MEC or MBS-UAV as a server platform for task offloading. Compared with a single MEC platform, the heterogeneous network combining the UAV-MEC and the MBS-UAV provided by the invention can provide more access resources and computing resources.
In fig. 3, the present invention analyzes the offloading type and offloading energy consumption at different UE numbers in the proposed SA algorithm result. With the increase of the number of UEs in the MEC network, the energy consumption of the UE to be offloaded to the UAV-MEC and the MBS-MEC is more and more, and the total energy consumption of the UE to select local computing is not increased, because the resources that the UAV-MEC and the MBS-MEC can provide are far richer than the computing resources that the UE device can provide compared with the local computing, and in addition, the good channel conditions of the UAV-MEC and the MBS-MEC cause the energy consumption of the UE for uplink data transmission to be generally better than the energy consumption of the local computing.
In fig. 4, the present invention compares the performance of four algorithms with large-scale UEs and tasks in the MEC network. With the increase of the number of the UE, the energy consumption of the four algorithms is increased; the RO performance is the worst, because the random UE decision does not optimize the overall energy consumption in the network; when the number of the UEs reaches 60, the RLUO cannot find a solution satisfying the optimization problem with the increase of the UEs because the computational power constraint of the UAV is not considered, and compared with the RLBO and the RLUO, the SA algorithm of the present invention still has a great performance advantage when having large-scale UEs in the network.
