    摘要: Systems and methods described herein relate to generating a task offloading strategy for a vehicular edge-computing environment. One embodiment simulates a vehicular edge-computing environment in which one or more vehicles perform computational tasks whose data is partitioned into segments and performs, for each of a plurality of segments, a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) training procedure that includes receiving state-space information regarding the one or more vehicles and one or more intermediate network nodes; inputting the state-space information to a policy network; generating, from the policy network, an action concerning a current segment; and assigning a reward to the policy network for the action in accordance with a predetermined reward function. This embodiment produces, via the DRL training procedure, a trained policy network embodying an offloading strategy for segmentation offloading of computational tasks from vehicles to one or more of an edge server and a cloud server.

    摘要: Systems and methods described herein relate to simulating edge-computing deployment in diverse terrains. One embodiment receives a layer-selection input specifying which layers among a plurality of layers in a simulation model of an edge-computing deployment are to be included in a simulation experiment; receives a set of input parameters for each of the layers specified by the layer-selection input, the set of input parameters for one of the layers specified by the layer-selection input including selection of a vehicular application whose performance in the edge-computing deployment is to be evaluated via the simulation experiment; executes the simulation experiment in accordance with the layer-selection input and the set of input parameters for each of the layers specified by the layer-selection input; and outputs, from the simulation experiment, performance data for the selected vehicular application in the edge-computing deployment.
