AbstractThe combination of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and mobile edge computing (MEC) technology breaks through the limitations of traditional terrestrial communications. The effective line-of-sight channel provided by UAVs can greatly improve the communication quality between edge servers and mobile devices (MDs). To further enhance the Quality-of-Service (QoS) of MEC systems, a multi-UAV-enabled MEC system model is designed. In the proposed model, UAVs are regarded as edge servers to offer computing services for MDs, aiming to minimize the average task response time by jointly optimizing UAV deployment and computation offloading. Based on the problem definition, a two-layer joint optimization method (PSO-GA-G) is proposed. First, the outer layer utilizes a Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm combined with Genetic Algorithm operators (PSO-GA) to optimize UAV deployment. Next, the inner layer adopts a greedy algorithm to optimize computation offloading. The extensive simulation experiments verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed PSO-GA-G. The results show that the PSO-GA-G can achieve a lower average task response time than the other three baselines.

Abstract We assessed the effect of a daytime sleep opportunity on planning and risk-related decision-making in emerging adults using multiple neurobehavioral assessments. A total of 136 healthy emerging adults (20.0 ± 1.5 years), 65% female, performed the Risky-Gains Task and the Tower of London test twice. Between these assessments, they were randomized to either have a sleep opportunity monitored by polysomnography (Sleep group, n = 101) or to stay awake (Wake group, n = 35). During Test 2, in comparison to the Sleep group, the Wake group showed increased sleepiness, worse planning ability and more decrease in reaction times when selecting risky choices. Changes in Tower of London test steps used and Risky-Gains Task response time correlated with the number of central and frontal fast sleep spindles, respectively. These results indicate that among emerging adults who commonly have poor sleep patterns, a daytime sleep opportunity was related to better planning ability, better psychomotor vigilance and stable response speeds in risk-related decision-making. Changes in planning and risk-related decision-making correlated with the number of sleep spindles during the nap, supporting a specific role for sleep in modulating planning and potentially other higher-order cognitive functions.
