Joint optimization method of intelligent service arrangement and computing-networking resource allocation for MEC by Yun LI, Qian GAO, Zhixiu YAO, Shichao XIA, Jishen LIANG

“…., computing power, storage, and bandwidth, with the objective of minimizing task processing latency, the joint optimization of service caching and computing-networking resource allocation was abstracted as a partially observable Markov decision process.Considering the temporal dependency of service request and its coupling relationship with service caching, a long short-term memory network was introduced to capture time-related network state information.Then, based on recurrent multi-agent deep reinforcement learning, a distributed service arrangement and resource allocation algorithm was proposed to autonomously decide service caching and computing-networking resource allocation strategies.Simulation results demonstrate that significant performance improvements in terms of cache hit rate and task processing latency achieved by the proposed algorithm.…”

Intelligent Load Balancing Algorithm of Mega Constellation by Shuxin LUO, Chao ZHANG, Yong XIAO, Jianping LIU

“…To overcome the local traffic congestion caused by the huge number of satellites in mega-constellation, a load balancing algorithm based on multi-agent deep reinforcement learning was proposed.Firstly, the satellites in the mega constellation were divided into clusters to perform the distributed management of the mega constellation, which could reduce the overhead of whole network.Then, based on the coordinated multi-agent deep reinforcement learning model, routing planning, which could be individually operated by satellites in the mega constellation, was designed to achieve the intra-cluster coordination.Additionally, a cluster state compression mechanism with autoencoder was proposed to compress the state space and improve the efficiency of multi-agent deep reinforcement learning.Finally, simulation results showed that compared with the traditional single-task routing algorithm, the proposed algorithm could increase the transmission success rate by more than 40% and the proposed algorithm could efficiently avoid local traffic congestion.…”
