GenFedRL: a general federated reinforcement learning framework for deep reinforcement learning agents by Biao JIN, Yikang LI, Zhiqiang YAO, Yulin CHEN, Jinbo XIONG

“…To solve the problem that intelligent devices equipped with deep reinforcement learning agents lack effective security data sharing mechanisms in the intelligent Internet of things, a general federated reinforcement learning (GenFedRL) framework was proposed for deep reinforcement learning agents.The joint training through model-sharing technology was realized by GenFedRL without the need to share the local private data of deep reinforcement learning agents.Each agent device’s data and computing resources could be effectively used without disclosing the privacy of its private data.To cope with the complexity of the real communication environment and meet the need to accelerate the training speed, a model-sharing mechanism based on synchronization and parallel was designed for GenFedRL.Combined with the model structure characteristics of common deep reinforcement learning algorithms, general federated reinforcement learning algorithm suitable for single network structure and multi-network structure was designed based on the FedAvg algorithm, respectively.Then, the model sharing mechanism among agents with the same network structure was implemented to protect the private data of various agents better.Simulation experiments show that common deep reinforcement learning algorithms still perform well in GenFedRL even in the harsh communication environment where most data nodes cannot participate in training.…”

Traffic scheduling system of the 5G core network user plane based on INT perception by Chao WANG, Meng REN, Shangguang WANG

“…To solve the problem of huge pressure on network operation caused by the surge of 5G mobile data traffic and the continuous emergence of new network applications, a traffic scheduling system of the 5G core network user plane was designed and implemented, including network state information perception subsystem and routing decision subsystem.In the network state information perception subsystem, traditional in-band network telemetry methods incurred high bandwidth overhead and were not specifically designed for wireless network systems.Furthermore, the application of in-band network telemetry in the 5G core network faced challenges such as low measurement accuracy and the inability to guarantee QoS.A 5G core network user plane state information perception scheme based on in-band network telemetry was proposed.The telemetry information was inserted into the extended header of GTP-U message realize the measurement of network state along the path.The routing decision subsystem implemented the traffic scheduling algorithm based on the improved ant colony algorithm.The update method of the pheromone function was promoted by the perceived status information to complete the routing decision based on the real-time network state.The deployment test results showed that the network state information perception subsystem can perceive network information normally, and the routing decisions were superior to traditional routing algorithms in terms of delay, throughput and packet loss rate.…”
