contents The rotatable reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can enhance mobile edge computing (MEC) performance by optimizing its orientation to improve the gain of received and transmitted signals. This correspondence investigates a rotatable RIS-assisted MEC system, aimed at minimizing energy consumption for multiple moving user equipment (UEs) through the joint design of RIS orientation, discrete phase shift, computation resource allocation, transmitting power and task offloading strategies. Considering the mobility of UEs, this problem is formulated as a sequential decision-making across multiple time slots. To address this challenge, a soft actor-critic (SAC)-based algorithm is proposed to optimize RIS orientation, phase shift and task offloading strategies, while computation resource allocation and transmitting power are determined based on the actions. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme exhibits superior convergence and performance compared to benchmarks. Additionally, the rotatable RIS scheme reduces total energy consumption by up to 47.3% compared to the fixed RIS, enhancing MEC system performance.
