Abstract

The mobile and flexible unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with mobile edge computing (MEC) can effectively relieve the computing pressure of the massive data traffic in 5G Internet of Things. In this paper, we propose a novel online edge learning offloading (OELO) scheme for UAV-assisted MEC secure communications, which can improve the secure computation performance. Moreover, the problem of information security is further considered since the offloading information of terminal users (TUs) may be eavesdropped due to the light-of-sight characteristic of UAV transmission. In the OELO scheme, we maximize the secure computation efficiency by optimizing TUs' binary offloading decision and resource management while guaranteeing dynamic task data queue stability and minimum secure computing requirement. Since the optimization problem is fractionally structured, binary constrained and multi-variable coupled, we first utilize the Dinkelbach method to transform the fractionally structured problem into a tractable form. Then, OELO generates the offloading decision based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and optimizes the resource management in an iterative manner through successive convex approximation (SCA). Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves better computing performance and enhances the stability and security compared with benchmarks.
