Jointly Optimization of Delay and Energy Consumption for Multi-Device FDMA in WPT-MEC System

Abstract

With the rapid development of mobile edge computing (MEC) and wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies, the MEC-WPT system makes it possible to provide high-quality data processing services for end users. However, in a real-world WPT-MEC system, the channel gain decreases with the transmission distance, leading to “double near and far effect” in the joint transmission of wireless energy and data, which affects the quality of the data processing service for end users. Consequently, it is essential to design a reasonable system model to overcome the “double near and far effect” and make reasonable scheduling of multi-dimensional resources such as energy, communication and computing to guarantee high-quality data processing services. First, this paper designs a relay collaboration WPT-MEC resource scheduling model to improve wireless energy utilization efficiency. The optimization goal is to minimize the normalization of the total communication delay and total energy consumption while meeting multiple resource constraints. Second, this paper imports a BK-means algorithm to complete the end terminals cluster to guarantee effective energy reception and adapts the whale optimization algorithm with adaptive mechanism (AWOA) for mobile vehicle path-planning to reduce energy waste. Third, this paper proposes an immune differential enhanced deep deterministic policy gradient (IDDPG) algorithm to realize efficient resource scheduling of multiple resources and minimize the optimization goal. Finally, simulation experiments are carried out on different data, and the simulation results prove the validity of the designed scheduling model and proposed IDDPG.
