Adaptive resource optimization mechanism for blockchain sharding in digital twin edge network by Li JIANG, Shengli XIE, Hui TIAN

“…To address the security and privacy issues for data sharing in digital twin edge networks, a new distributed and secure data sharing mechanism was developed by leveraging blockchain sharding.Considering dynamic and time varying features in digital twin edge networks and mapping errors of physic networks, an adaptive resource allocation model was formulated which jointly optimized cluster head selection, local base station (BS) consensus access selection, spectrum and computation consensus resources allocation, in order to maximize transactional throughput for the blockchain sharding.Moreover, a digital twin edge networks empowered two-layered proximal policy optimization (PPO) algorithm was designed to obtain the optimal solutions.Numerical results illustrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the transactional throughput for the blockchain sharding.Meanwhile, it can well adapt to the mapping errors.…”

Research on Routing Optimization in Satellite Internet Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning by Linhui WEI, Guowen LIU, Yu LIU, Yumei WANG

“…With the rapid development of satellite communication, the satellite internet is one of the core technologies of 6G network to realize global coverage, full-time access and full scene service.The high dynamics and limited capacity of satellite network lead to a series of management and control challenges such as heterogeneous network management, dynamic resource allocation and so on.Since the machine learning-based technologies have strength in network design, the intelligent architecture of software-defi ned satellite internet was put forward.In view of the intelligent routing in satellite internet, and leverages the deep reinforcement algorithm based on double delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3) to solve the network routing optimization problem.The experimental results showed that compared with DDPG algorithm, the TD3 algorithm reduced the delay by 19.19%.…”
