摘要

In mobile edge computing, service migration promises intelligent task placement as well as maintaining seamless functionality in bandwidth-intensive, latency-sensitive applications. Despite the promise of service migration offered by deep reinforcement learning (DRL), existing techniques lack topology awareness and dynamic adaptability. This research proposes a novel graph convolutional network (GCN)-based DRL framework enhanced with multi-parameter feedback (energy, delay, bandwidth) for intelligent service migration in MEC. Unlike prior DRL methods, our GCN-based framework models server topologies as spatial relationships and adapts feedback weights dynamically in response to changing system conditions. Experimental evaluation using EdgeSimPy and EdgeAISim shows that our proposed method reduces power consumption by 27% compared to traditional DRL (DQN) and by 44% compared to heuristic approaches (Worst-Fit). Moreover, the framework consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art DRL algorithms in terms of energy efficiency, latency reduction, and resource optimization. Our key contributions include: (1) A topology-aware GCN-DRL architecture; (2) Dynamic multi-parameter feedback-driven reward formulation that improve energy efficiency by 15% under high network stress; and (3) Comprehensive benchmarking against six algorithm classes in varied MEC scenarios.
