Abstract

With the rapid development of power Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios such as smart factories and smart homes, numerous intelligent terminal devices and real-time interactive applications impose higher demands on computing latency and resource supply efficiency. Multi-access edge computing technology deploys cloud computing capabilities at the network edge; constructs distributed computing nodes and multi-access systems and offers infrastructure support for services with low latency and high reliability. Existing research relies on a strong assumption that the environmental state is fully observable and fails to thoroughly consider the continuous time-varying features of edge server load fluctuations, leading to insufficient adaptability of the model in a heterogeneous dynamic environment. Thus, this paper establishes a framework for end-edge collaborative task offloading based on a partially observable Markov decision-making process (POMDP) and proposes a method for end-edge collaborative task offloading in heterogeneous scenarios. It achieves time-series modeling of the historical load characteristics of edge servers and endows the agent with the ability to be aware of the load in dynamic environmental states. Moreover, by dynamically assessing the exploration value of historical trajectories in the central trajectory pool and adjusting the sample weight distribution, directional exploration and strategy optimization of high-value trajectories are realized. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method exhibits distinct advantages compared with existing methods in terms of average delay and task failure rate and also verifies the method’s robustness in a dynamic environment.
