Survey on UAV-enabled Mobile Edge Computing Based on Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface
Mobile Edge Computing(MEC)is a key technology for improving performance and user experience in mobile communi-cation and computing.MEC system assisted by Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface(RIS)and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)tech-nology has significant advantages in network performance improvement,delay reduction,computation and communication resource alloca-tion optimization,and adaptability,which has attracted wide attention from academia and industry.First the author systematically discus-ses the cooperation modes in RIS-assisted UAV-MEC(RU-MEC)systems,then reviews the key issues and possible solutions in the design process of RIS-assisted UAV-MEC systems,and finally outlines the future research directions,including further innovation of RIS and UAV technologies,security and reliability enhancement of the systems,and wide application in various scenarios.
