Abstract
Multi-access edge computing (MEC) enables the computation-intensive and latency-critical application to be processed at the network edge, which reduces the transmission latency and energy consumption. The quality of the wireless channel seriously affects the performance of the edge network. Consequently, the performance of the edge network can be significantly improved from the perspective of communication. The recently advocated intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) intelligently controls the radio propagation environment to improve the quality of wireless communication links. This paper proposes an edge heterogeneous network with the assistance of intelligent reflecting surface. Specifically, the macro base station and small base stations are equipped with MEC servers, and IRS is adopted to provide an additional computation offloading link. The user association, computation offloading and resource allocation, as well as IRS phase shift design are optimized with the aim of minimizing the long-term energy consumption subject to the constraints imposed on quality of service (QoS) and available resources. The challenge of the optimization problem is rooted from the fact that update timescale of user association is different from others. Hence, a two-timescale mechanism is invoked by marrying tools from matching theory and deep reinforcement learning. More specifically, the user association decision takes place in the long timescale. In the short timescale, the computation offloading, resource allocation and IRS phase shift design strategy is performed. The effectiveness of the proposed two-timescale mechanism is verified by the simulation results.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
