This paper investigates a multi-user partial computation offloading system under the time-varying channel environment and proposes a novel deep reinforcement learning-based framework to jointly optimize offloading strategy and power control, aiming to minimize the weighted sum of latency and energy consumption. Due to the problem’s multi-parameter, highly coupled, and non-convex characteristics, a deep neural network is firstly utilized to generate offloading ratio vectors, which are then discretized using an improved k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm. Based on the quantized offloading actions, the Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is employed to seek the optimal power control. Finally, the optimal action and state vectors are stored in an experience replay pool for subsequent network training until convergence, producing the optimal solution. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed improved quantization method avoids the additional action exploration while accelerating convergence. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm significantly lowers user devices latency and energy consumption, outperforming other schemes and providing more efficient edge computing services.","PeriodicalId":13208,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics","volume":"71 2","pages":"2517-2529"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144868279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A two-stage adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm, integrating reinforcement learning techniques with local state feedback, is proposed to derive the optimal control policy without requiring prior knowledge of the system model. Simulations are conducted in MATLAB on a multimachine power system benchmark.

It attains high voltage gain at a low duty ratio with the help of an active clamp and two coupled inductors. To reduce switch voltage spikes and recycle energy leakage in the coupled inductors, an active clamp circuit is employed. This energy leakage alleviates the reverse recovery issue of diodes. As a result, the voltage stresses on switches and diodes are minimal and help them operate at high gain effectively. The proposed converter consists of dual switches that act as main and auxiliary switches. These operate at zero voltage switching called soft-switching to reduce conduction and switching losses to a very minimum hence efficiency can improve significantly. To further confirm the effectiveness of the proposed converter, it has been analyzed in eight modes of operation to understand its characteristics under both steady-state and transient conditions. Additionally, it can achieve continuous current, which is beneficial for photovoltaic, fuel cells, and batteries in DC microgrid applications. Furthermore, a 160W, 20V-200V prototype experimental setup was developed and its performance was tested under various duty ratios, turns ratios, and load conditions.

In such applications, Mobile Sink (MS) gathers sensed data by traversing through selected Rendezvous Points (RPs). Consumer applications generate a significant amount of multidimensional data and face various physical obstacles. These obstacles prevent communication between sensor nodes and hinder the MS movement in WSNs. This causes increased energy consumption and higher data collection delays. Most of the existing obstacle-avoiding data-gathering schemes suffer from the following major limitations: (i) high collision risks due to lack of a safety margin between MS paths and obstacles, (ii) imbalanced energy consumption and premature node failures due to suboptimal RP selection, and (iii) failure to design smooth MS paths which leads to sharp turns and inefficient MS movement. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an energy-aware obstacle avoidance data routing scheme for IoT-enabled WSNs using MS. It uses a Manta-ray Foraging Optimization (MRFO) algorithm to identify optimal RPs. Furthermore, the EBS-A* algorithm is used to identify a smooth obstacle-avoiding optimal route for MS. The proposed MRFO-based RP selection mechanism minimizes transmission distance and hop count. It balances the energy load among sensor nodes and prevents premature node failure. Therefore, network lifetime is improved. The EBS-A* algorithm ensures smooth MS movement by avoiding sharp turns. The EBS-A* algorithm also maintains a safety margin from obstacles, which reduces the risk of collision between MS and obstacles. The simulation and testbed results show that the proposed approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art approaches in terms of residual energy, network lifetime, stability period, data collection delay, and MS safety assessment.","PeriodicalId":13208,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics","volume":"71 2","pages":"2644-2653"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144868031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leveraging deep reinforcement learning (DRL), our system achieves joint optimization of task offloading strategies and resource allocation. Departing from conventional dynamic RIS designs, we implement a fixed phase shift matrix approach, which not only simplifies system implementation but also reduces computational complexity, thereby enhancing both task offloading efficiency and system stability. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that our optimized RIS-assisted approach achieves a remarkable 38.30% improvement in computational rates compared to non-RIS schemes and a 4.83% enhancement over random-phase RIS configurations. These substantial improvements highlight the transformative potential of RIS in boosting computation rates and providing robust solutions for high-demand task offloading scenarios.
