Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ground terminal task offloading technology, and in particular to an energy efficiency optimization method for a hybrid RIS-assisted UAV mobile edge computing system. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of mobile communication networks and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, smart terminal devices will be widely used in people's daily lives. In the future, hundreds of billions of devices will be connected to the network. The increase in computationally intensive applications and the growth in user demand have placed higher demands on the computing and communication resources of IoT devices. To improve the service quality of mobile devices, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has been proposed as a means to solve problems such as limited device resources and scarce application resources due to its characteristics of proximity to users and distributed deployment. It can effectively improve communication and computing efficiency and overcome the problems of high time costs and huge resource consumption.

[0003] Due to the high energy consumption requirements of existing technologies, communication costs are also increasing. The low power consumption and high energy efficiency of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), along with their ability to reconfigure wireless communication transmission environments, have been extensively studied in the industry. In urban environments or areas with complex terrain where the line-of-sight (LoS) link between base stations and devices is blocked, constructing a reflective link using RIS can effectively improve the system's energy efficiency. However, RIS are mostly installed on building surfaces, resulting in limited coverage and potentially failing to respond well to emergencies. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), with their high mobility and low deployment costs, have attracted widespread attention. Utilizing UAVs equipped with RIS can effectively solve the problem of limited coverage of fixed RIS. However, UAVs are also limited by their own flight and hovering energy consumption. Combining fixed RIS with UAV-equipped RIS can address the limitations of both UAVs and RIS, further improving system performance. Summary of the Invention

[0055] like Then α k If [n] = 1, then Then α k [n] = 0;

[0056] According to the absolute value inequality |ab|≤|a|+|b|, equality holds when ab≤0. Since and Therefore, the following equation holds true:

[0057]

[0058] After deformation, we get:

[0060] Therefore, we obtain α k The solution for [n] is:

[0061]

[0062] As a preferred embodiment of the energy efficiency optimization method for the hybrid RIS-assisted UAV mobile edge computing system described in this invention, the step of using a semi-definite relaxation method and introducing a penalty function to solve the beamforming matrix and directly solve the time slot allocation includes,

[0063] Based on the obtained offloading decision, a given time slot allocation t k The subproblem of [n] and the UAV trajectory, represented by the fixed RIS beamforming matrix, is as follows:

[0083] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention proposes an energy efficiency optimization method for a joint mobile edge computing system assisted by a fixed RIS and a UAV-mounted RIS. This method combines a fixed RIS and a UAV-mounted RIS to jointly assist a mobile edge computing communication system. The ground terminal can choose to offload tasks via the fixed RIS or the UAV-mounted RIS. The UAV-mounted RIS solves the problem of limited coverage area of ​​the fixed RIS, and the fixed RIS shares the computational burden of the UAV-mounted RIS, avoiding excessive energy consumption during UAV flight, thus improving system performance. The method proposed in this invention maximizes system energy efficiency by jointly optimizing offloading decisions, beamforming matrices of the fixed RIS and UAV-mounted RIS, time slot allocation, and UAV trajectory, effectively increasing task offloading while controlling system energy consumption.

[0175] Example 2

[0176] Reference Figures 1-3 As an embodiment of the present invention, an energy efficiency optimization method for a hybrid RIS-assisted UAV mobile edge computing system is provided. To verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through experiments.

[0177] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0178] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention proposes an energy efficiency optimization method for a hybrid RIS-assisted UAV mobile edge computing system. For practical considerations, although the channel between the ground terminal and the base station is easily blocked, there is still a significant amount of scattering; therefore, the channel between the ground terminal and the base station is modeled as a Rayleigh channel. Since the fixed RIS is installed on a building at a certain height, there is an additional line-of-sight channel between it and the base station and the ground terminal; therefore, the channels between the fixed RIS and the base station, and between the fixed RIS and the ground terminal, are modeled as Ricean channels. The UAV has a certain height and strong mobility; therefore, the channel between the UAV-equipped RIS and the base station and the ground terminal is modeled as a line-of-sight channel. The ground terminal has two options for offloading computing tasks to the base station: either through a cascaded channel consisting of the fixed RIS and a direct link to the base station, or through a cascaded channel consisting of the UAV-equipped RIS and a direct link to the base station. The offloading rate of these two channels directly affects the ground terminal's offloading decision, and the phase of the RIS reflective element and the trajectory of the UAV affect the channel gain. As can be seen from the figure, GT1 chooses to offload tasks via a UAV equipped with a RIS, while GT2 chooses to offload tasks via a fixed RIS. In addition, both GT1 and GT2 have offload channels that can be directly offloaded to the base station.
