Abstract

To address the issue of real-time perception data from manufacturing resources being difficult to process promptly in a cloud-edge collaborative cloud manufacturing environment, considering uncertain factors such as the limited computing resources at the edge, dynamically changing network conditions, and task loads, this paper proposed a cloud-edge collaborative joint offloading strategy based on mixed-based deep reinforcement learning (M-DRL) . Firstly, this strategy established a joint offloading model by combining discrete model offloading in the cloud with continuous task offloading at the edge. Secondly, this strategy defined the optimization problem as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) to minimize the total cost of delay and energy consumption over a period. Finally, this paper used the M-DRL algorithm, which utilized an integrated exploration strategy of DDPG and DQN and introduced a Long Short-Term Memory network (LSTM) into the network architecture, to solve this optimization problem. Simulation results showed that compared with some existing offloading algorithms, the M-DRL method had good convergence and stability, and significantly reduced the total system cost. It provides an effective solution for the timely processing of manufacturing resource perception data.
