摘要

The proliferation of maritime activities has spurred the emergence of numerous computation-intensive and delay-sensitive marine applications and services. Given the inherent rationality, selfish nature, and limited computational abilities of marine devices, devising effective strategies to incentivize their participation in task processing become a critical challenge. In this paper, we investigate the satellite-assisted marine multi-access edge computing (MEC) and propose a two-tier task offloading scheme through a hybrid Stackelberg-Bargaining game approach to enhance offloading efficiency and maximize the utility of marine devices. Specifically, for the underwater acoustic communication, we consider the scenario where multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), managed by maritime autonomous surface ships (MASSs), upload their collected data using non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) to optimize channel utilization. For the data transmission above the sea surface, we consider the scenario where a low earth orbit satellite (LEOS) functions as a space edge server to provide computing services, and MASS offloads workloads to LEOS through frequency division multiple access(FDMA) to prevent co-channel interference. we define the utility of AUVs, MASSs and LEOSs, and model the offloading process between AUVs and MASSs as a Stackelberg game, while representing the offloading interaction between MASSs and LEOSs as a Bargaining game. Additionally, we propose efficient algorithms to optimize AUV offloading strategies and MASS pricing strategies, while refining the bidding strategies for both MASSs and LEOSs. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms significantly outperform benchmark schemes in achieving optimal solutions.
