## Abstract (arXiv)

The continuous evolution of future mobile communication systems is heading towards the integration of communication and computing, with Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) emerging as a crucial means of implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) computation. MEC could enhance the computational performance of wireless edge networks by offloading computing-intensive tasks to MEC servers. However, in edge computing scenarios, the sparse sample problem may lead to high costs of time-consuming model training. This paper proposes an MEC offloading decision and resource allocation solution that combines generative AI and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for the communication-computing integration scenario in the 802.11ax Wi-Fi network. Initially, the optimal offloading policy is determined by the joint use of the Generative Diffusion Model (GDM) and the Twin Delayed DDPG (TD3) algorithm. Subsequently, resource allocation is accomplished by using the Hungarian algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate that the introduction of Generative AI significantly reduces model training costs, and the proposed solution exhibits significant reductions in system task processing latency and total energy consumption costs.
