About The Project

This environment is a mixed cooperative-competitive game, which focuses on the coordination of the agents involved. Agents navigate a world and offload computing tasks to the edge computing-enabled CPU via user-centric wireless transmission.

Getting Started

Installation

Install using pip

pip install UCMEC

Or to ensure that you have the latest version:

git clone https://github.com/qlt315/UCMEC_env.git
cd UCMEC_env
pip install -e .

Usage

Create environments with the gym framework. First import

import UCMEC

Then create an environment:

env = gym.make("MA_UCMEC_env") # for single-agent

or

env = gym.make("SA_UCMEC_env") # for multi-agent

Similarly to Gym, step() function in multi-agent environment is defined as

obs, reward, done, info = env.step(actions)

Where obs, rewards, done and info are LISTS of N items (where N is the number of agents). The i'th element of each list should be assigned to the i'th agent. action space is a LIST of N*M numbers that should be executed in that step.(M is the number of actions for each agent, like offloading decision, power allocation, etc.)
