Robust Resource Allocation and Trajectory Planning of UAV-Aided Mobile Edge Computing in Post-Disaster Areas

Resumen

When natural disasters strike, users in the disaster area may be isolated and unable to transmit disaster information to the outside due to the damage of communication facilities. Unmanned aerial vehicles can be exploited as mobile edge servers to provide emergency service for ground users due to its mobility and flexibility. In this paper, a robust UAV-aided wireless-powered mobile edge computing (MEC) system in post disaster areas is proposed, where the UAV provides charging and computing service for users in the disaster area. Considering the estimation error of users? locations, our target is to maximize the energy acquisition of each user by jointly optimizing the computing offloading process and the UAV trajectory. Due to the strongly coupled connectionbetween optimization variables and the non-convex nature for trajectory optimization, the problem is difficult to solve. Furthermore, the semi-infinity of the users? possible location makes the problem even more intractable. To tackle these difficulties, we ignore the estimation error of users? location firstly, and propose an iterative algorithm by using Lagrange dual method and successive convex approximation (SCA) technology. Then, we propose a cutting-set method to deal with the uncertainty of users? location. In this method, we degrade the influence of location uncertainty by alternating between optimization step and pessimization step. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed robust algorithm can effectively improve the user energy acquisition.
