HALO: Hierarchical Auction-assisted Learning for Offloading in SAGIN (opens in new tab)

In this paper, we investigate delay-aware task offloading and resource scheduling in a three-tier space-air-ground integrated network (SAGIN) consisting of IoT devices, UAV edge nodes, and a high-altitude platform station (HAPS). We formulate joint task association and continuous resource control (including bandwidth, transmit power, and CPU frequency allocation) as a non-convex mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem, which is inher...
