Abstract

Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) is one of the promising solutions for delay-sensitive emerging applications. There are multiple available options to provide wireless access and computing service for users in the dense deployment of MEC-enabled small base stations (SBSs). It makes the mobility management (MM) more complicated. To this, we study the MM problem during the usersâ™ movement in the ultra- dense edge computing scenario to minimize the delay with handover cost as a penalty term of the offloading tasks. In this paper, we propose an online learning optimization scheme based on reinforcement learning to optimize handover decision-making by predicting the upcoming future information. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively reduce the average delay of usersâ™ computing tasks and the handover rate compared with the available conventional handover schemes.
