We consider the problem of task offloading by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) using mobile edge computing (MEC). In this context, each UAV makes a decision to offload the computation task to a more powerful MEC server (e.g., base station), or to perform the task locally. In this paper, we propose a spectrum-aware decision-making framework such that each agent can dynamically select one of the available channels for offloading. To this end, we develop a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework for the UAVs to select the channel for task offloading or perform the computation locally. In the numerical results based on deep Q-network, we con-sider a combination of energy consumption and task completion time as the reward. Simulation results based on low-band, mid-band, and high-band channels demonstrate that the DQN agents efficiently learn the environment and dynamically adjust their actions to maximize the long-term reward.
