Abstract

The explosive computation demands in the Internet of Things (IoT) have triggered the research interests on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted mobile-edge computing (MEC) systems even though there are still many challenges, such as computing delay requirement, time slot partition, and trajectory design. This letter focuses on the computing delay issue in MEC systems assisted by multiple UAVs with the goal of task completion time minimization. In particular, both the partial offloading and binary offloading modes are considered by jointly optimizing time slot size, terminal devices (TDs) scheduling, computation resource allocation, and UAVs' trajectories. Particularly, an non-LoS channel model is adopted for UAV-ground communication. To handle the problem, we develop a joint optimization algorithm by invoking the concave-convex procedure method, Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions and penalized method. Numerical results show that the completion time can be significantly decreased by the proposed algorithm.
