Robust Task Offloading and Trajectory Optimization for UAV-Mounted Mobile Edge Computing by Runhe Wang, Yang Huang, Yiwei Lu, Pu Xie, Qihui Wu

“…As a countermeasure, the original optimization is recast as subproblems related to task offloading and trajectory planning and solved by a novel robust iterative optimization algorithm that combines the methods of weighted minimum mean square error, S-procedure, successive convex approximation, etc. Numerical results indicate that, compared to various baselines, the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce energy consumption and optimize the trajectory in the presence of a large number of input tasks. …”
