Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The rapid increase in Mobile Internet of Things (IoT) devices requires novel computational frameworks. These frameworks must meet strict latency and energy efficiency requirements in Edge and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) systems. Spatio-temporal dynamics, which include the position of edge servers and the timing of task schedules, pose a complex optimization problem. These challenges are further exacerbated by the heterogeneity of IoT workloads and the constraints imposed by device mobility. The balance between computational overhead and communication challenges is also a problem. To solve these issues, advanced methods are needed for resource management and dynamic task scheduling in mobile IoT and edge computing environments. In this paper, we propose a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) multi-objective algorithm, called a Double Deep Q-Learning (DDQN) framework enhanced with Spatio-temporal mobility prediction, latency-aware task offloading, and energy-constrained IoT device trajectory optimization for federated edge computing networks. DDQN was chosen for its optimize stability and reduced overestimation in Q-values. The framework employs a reward-driven optimization model that dynamically prioritizes latency-sensitive tasks, minimizes task migration overhead, and balances energy efficiency across devices and edge servers. It integrates dynamic resource allocation algorithms to address random task arrival patterns and real-time computational demands. Simulations demonstrate up to a 35 % reduction in end-to-end latency, a 28 % improvement in energy efficiency, and a 20 % decrease in the deadline-miss ratio compared to benchmark algorithms.
