• Abstract: In the field of multi-access edge computing (MEC), efficient computation offloading is crucial for improving resource utilization and reducing latency in dynamically changing environments. This paper introduces a new approach, termed as Multi-Task Domain Adaptation (MTDA), aiming to enhance the ability of computational offloading models to generalize in the presence of domain shifts, i.e., when new data in the target environment significantly differs from the data in the source domain. The proposed MTDA model incorporates a teacher-student architecture that allows continuous adaptation without necessitating access to the source domain data during inference, thereby maintaining privacy and reducing computational overhead. Utilizing a multi-task learning framework that simultaneously manages offloading decisions and resource allocation, the proposed MTDA approach outperforms benchmark methods regarding mean squared error and accuracy, particularly in environments with increasing numbers of users. It is observed by means of computer simulation that the proposed MTDA model maintains high performance across various scenarios, demonstrating its potential for practical deployment in emerging MEC applications.

  Active Domain Adaptation (ADA) aims to maximally boost model adaptation in a new target domain by actively selecting a limited number of target data to annotate. This setting neglects the more practical scenario where training data are collected from multiple sources. This motivates us to target a new and challenging setting of knowledge transfer that extends ADA from a single source domain to multiple source domains.

  Multi-access edge computing (MEC) has already shown the potential in enabling mobile devices to bear the computation-intensive applications by offloading some tasks to a nearby access point (AP) integrated with a MEC server (MES) However, due to the varying network conditions and limited computation resources of the MES, the offloading decisions taken by a mobile device and the computational resources allocated by the MES may not be efficiently achieved with the lowest cost. We propose a dynamic offloading framework for the MEC network, in which the uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is used to enable multiple devices to upload their
