We present a moving mobile edge computing architecture in which unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) serve as an equipment, providing computational power and allowing task offloading from mobile devices (MD). By improving user association, resource allocation, and UAV trajectory, we optimizing the energy consumption of all MDs. Towards that purpose, we provide a Trajectory optimization technique for making real-time choices while considering all the situation of the environment, followed by a DRL-based Trajectory control approach (RLCT). The RLCT approach may be adapted to any UAV takeoff point and can find the solution faster. The FL is introduced to address the Optimization problem in a Semi-distributed DRL technique to deal with UAV trajectory constraints. The proposed FRL approach enables devices to rapidly train the models locally while communicating with a local server to construct a network globally. The simulation results in the result section shows that the proposed technique RLCT and FRL in the paper outperforms the existing methods" while the FRL performs best among all.
