D2D cooperative caching strategy based on graph collaborative filtering model by Ningjiang CHEN, Linming LIAN, Pingjie OU, Xuemei YUAN

“…A D2D cooperative caching strategy based on graph collaborative filtering model was proposed for the problem of difficulty in obtaining sufficient data to predict user preferences in device-to-device (D2D) caching due to the limited signal coverage of base stations.Firstly, a graph collaborative filtering model was constructed, which captured the higher-order connectivity information in the user-content interaction graph through a multilayer graph convolutional neural network, and a multilayer perceptron was used to learn the nonlinear relationship between users and content to predict user preferences.Secondly, in order to minimize the average access delay, considering user preference and cache delay benefit, the cache content placement problem was modeled as a Markov decision process model, and a cooperative cache algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning was designed to solve it.Simulation experiments show that the proposed caching strategy achieves optimal performance compared with existing caching strategies for different content types, user densities, and D2D communication distance parameters.…”

Self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm based on population state information by Weijie MAI, Weili LIU, Jinghui ZHONG

“…The local optimum and stagnation state information of the population seriously affects the performance of differential evolution (DE) algorithm.An advanced DE algorithm with population state processing measures was proposed to address the above two issues.When the population falled into the local optimum, the individuals in the population were learned randomly by LBFGS method to improve the global quality of the solution, and Gaussian mutation was employed to trigger new individuals to jump out of local optimum.As for the stagnation state, the covariance matrix of the population was applied to reorganize the target individuals based on the rotation of the spatial coordinates to suppress the stagnation state of the population and enhance the global search ability of the algorithm.In addition, a new selection strategy was designed, which built an external archive to store abandoned individuals after greedy selection.When the trial individual was inferior to the target individual, the algorithm no longer generated the next generation with greedy selection strategy, but made reasonable intelligent selection around the external archive to ensure that the algorithm converges to the global optimum.Compared with eight state-of-the-art DE algorithms on 29 benchmark functions, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in terms of the solution accuracy and convergence speed.…”
