摘要

The rapid growth of 6G networks has intensified the need for ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) and intelligent task offloading in multi-edge computing environments. This study proposes an enhanced Hybrid Double Deep Q-Network–Fuzzy SARSA (DDQN–Fuzzy SARSA) model integrating experience replay memory to achieve stable, interpretable, and real-time offloading decisions. The model combines the long-term action-value optimization of DDQN with the adaptive rule-based reasoning of Fuzzy SARSA ( \(\lambda\) ), while a task-failure-aware reward function incorporating Task Failure Rate (TFR) ensures rapid avoidance of congested edge nodes and reinforces QoS guarantees. A comprehensive system model considering MAN/WAN delays, VM utilisation, server coordinates, and heterogeneous IoT workloads was developed and evaluated through extensive MATLAB simulations. Results demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly surpasses standalone DQN, Fuzzy SARSA, PPO, A3C, and PSO baselines, achieving 0.35 ms latency, 99.9999% reliability, 99.67% energy efficiency, and a 40% reduction in task failure rate. The hybrid model also generalises effectively across diverse applications including healthcare, AR/VR, infotainment, and compute-intensive services. Overall, the proposed approach provides a scalable, high-performance solution for intelligent task offloading in next-generation 6G edge networks.
