With the high altitude and flexible mobility, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted mobile edge computing (MEC) is becoming a promising technology to cope with the computation-intensive and latency-critical task in prospective Internet of Things. In this paper, we propose a novel MEC system with se...
