contents The unmanned aerial vehicle assisted multi-access edge computing (UAV-MEC) technology has been widely applied in the sixth-generation era. However, due to the limitations of energy and computing resources in disaster areas, how to efficiently offload the tasks of damaged user equipments (UEs) to UAVs is a key issue. In this work, we consider a multiple UAVMECs assisted task offloading scenario, which is deployed inside the three-dimensional corridors and provide computation services for UEs. In detail, a ground UAV controller acts as the central decision-making unit for deploying the UAV-MECs and allocates the computational resources. Then, we model the relationship between the UAV controller and UEs based on the Stackelberg game. The problem is formulated to maximize the utility of both the UAV controller and UEs. To tackle the problem, we design a K-means based UAV localization and availability response mechanism to pre-deploy the UAV-MECs. Then, a chess-like particle swarm optimization probability based strategy selection learning optimization algorithm is proposed to deal with the resource allocation. Finally, extensive simulation results verify that the proposed scheme can significantly improve the utility of the UAV controller and UEs in various scenarios compared with baseline schemes.
