A Dual-Agent Approach for Coordinated Task Offloading and Resource Allocation in MEC

Algorithm 1

DA-TD3.
Input: UE task information .
Output: Offloading decision vector and resource allocation vector .
(1)Initialize the network parameters for agents 1 and 2.
(2)Set the capacity of experience buffer and specify the batch size for training.
(3)for episode = 1, 2, …, Max_Episode do
(4) Resetting the environment to obtain the initial state .
(5)for = 1, 2, …, do
(6)  Input state to the actor network of agent 1 to obtain the action .
(7)  Calculate the state input for the actor of agent 2 based on the .
(8)  Input state to the actor of agent 2 to obtain the action .
(9)  Calculate the reward by jointly considering the and .
(10)  Store the (, , , ) in the replay buffer of agent 1.
(11)  Store the (, , , ) in the replay buffer of agent 2.
(12)  if batch size < the current capacity of buffer Then
(13)   for agent  = 1, 2 do
(14)    Sample a batch of experiences randomly.
(15)    Calculate the loss of critic net according to equation (15).
(16)    Update parameters of the critic net according to equation (16).
(17)    Calculate the loss of actor net according to the equation (17).
(18)    Update parameter of the critic according to equation (18).
(19)    Update parameters of the target nets according to (19) and (20).
