Abstract
En 中文
Blockchain-enabled mobile edge computing (MEC) must jointly optimize task offloading and consensus finality under highly heterogeneous AIoT devices, where latency/energy constraints and fairness-sensitive incentives coexist with time-varying validator reliability. We propose FE-CTDE, a unified framework that couples (1) a Stackelberg pricing-and-allocation layer that reaches a unique equilibrium and reduces utility disparity, (2) a reliability-aware dynamic BFT committee and block-packing mechanism that stabilizes confirmation delay under intermittent connectivity, and (3) a centralized-training/decentralized-execution multi-agent policy that outputs a continuous offloading ratio while requiring only local observations at run time. Extensive simulations across diverse heterogeneity, workload burstiness, and link intermittency show that FE-CTDE consistently improves social welfare and fairness while reducing end-to-end latency/energy and sustaining higher effective consensus throughput, outperforming strong baselines by up to 22.23%. We further report protocol/learning overheads and provide reproducible implementation details.
