Reinforcement Learning Controlled Adaptive PSO for Task Offloading in IIoT Edge Computing

원문 초록

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications demand efficient task offloading to handle heavy data loads with minimal latency. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) brings computation closer to devices to reduce latency and server load, optimal performance requires advanced optimization techniques. We propose a novel solution combining Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) with Reinforcement Learning, specifically Soft Actor Critic (SAC), to enhance task offloading decisions in MEC environments. This hybrid approach leverages swarm intelligence and predictive models to adapt to dynamic variables such as human interactions and environmental changes. Our method improves resource management and service quality, achieving optimal task offloading and resource distribution in IIoT edge computing.
