Abstract
Satellite edge computing can provide communication and computing services to areas lacking ground network coverage, enhancing the computational capabilities of terrestrial users. However, due to the relatively limited computational resources available on satellites, cloud-edge collaborative computing in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communication scenarios emerges as a more optimal solution. In this paper, a cloud-edge collaborative offloading algorithm based on Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm is proposed to solve the offloading decision and resource allocation problems. The optimization problem is modeled as Markov decision process, and the comprehensive delay and energy consumption cost of computing tasks completed by ground users are optimized. Simulation results validate that the proposed algorithm has good convergence properties and lower comprehensive cost than processing all tasks locally and offloading all tasks to LEO satellites.
