A Power Allocation Algorithm in Vehicular Edge Computing Networks Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning
To address the time-varying channel and stochastic task arrival problems caused by the mobility of vehicle in the vehicular edge computing environment, a deep reinforcement learning-based computation offloading and power allocation algorithm is proposed.First, we build a three-layer system model for end-edge-cloud orchestrated computing based on non-orthogonal multiple access in a two-way lane scenario.Then, by combining the communication, computing, cache resources and the mobility of vehicle, a joint optimization problem is designed to minimize the long-term cumulative total system cost consisting of power consumption and cache latency.Finally, considering the dynamics, time-varying and stochastic characteristics in vehicular edge computing networks, a decentralized intelligent algorithm based on deep deterministic policy gradient is proposed for obtaining the power allocation optimization.Compared with conventional baseline algorithms, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve a superior performance in reducing the cost of the total system.
