    Research on UAV–MEC Cooperative Scheduling Algorithms Based on Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning

    Yonghua Huo1,2, Ying Liu1,*, Anni Jiang3, Yang Yang3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.86, No.3, 2026, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.072681 - 12 January 2026

    Abstract With the advent of sixth-generation mobile communications (6G), space–air–ground integrated networks have become mainstream. This paper focuses on collaborative scheduling for mobile edge computing (MEC) under a three-tier heterogeneous architecture composed of mobile devices, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and macro base stations (BSs). This scenario typically faces fast channel fading, dynamic computational loads, and energy constraints, whereas classical queuing-theoretic or convex-optimization approaches struggle to yield robust solutions in highly dynamic settings. To address this issue, we formulate a multi-agent Markov decision process (MDP) for an air–ground-fused MEC system, unify link selection, bandwidth/power allocation, and task… More >

    Improved STN Models and Heuristic Rules for Cooperative Scheduling in Automated Container Terminals

    Hongyan Xia, Jin Zhu*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.2, pp. 1637-1661, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029576 - 17 November 2023

    Abstract Improving the cooperative scheduling efficiency of equipment is the key for automated container terminals to cope with the development trend of large-scale ships. In order to improve the solution efficiency of the existing space-time network (STN) model for the cooperative scheduling problem of yard cranes (YCs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and extend its application scenarios, two improved STN models are proposed. The flow balance constraints in the original model are decomposed, and the trajectory constraints of YCs and AGVs are added to acquire the model STN_A. The coupling constraint in STN_A is updated, and… More >
