A novel intelligent bandwidth allocation scheme in NG-EPON using reinforcement learning is proposed and demonstrated for latency management. We verify the capability of the proposed scheme under both fixed and dynamic traffic loads scenarios to achieve <1ms average latency. The RL agent demonstrates an efficient intelligent mechanism to manage the latency, which provides a promising IBA solution for the next-generation access network.

Storage systems for cloud computing merge a large number of commodity computers into a single large storage pool. It provides high-performance storage over an unreliable, and dynamic network at a lower cost than purchasing and maintaining large mainframe. In this paper, we examine whether it is feasible to apply Reinforcement Learning(RL) to system domain problems. Our experiments show that the RL model is comparable, even outperform other heuristics for block management problem. However, our experiments are limited in terms of scalability and fidelity. Even though our formulation is not very practical,applying Reinforcement Learning to system domain could offer good alternatives to existing heuristics.
This paper studies a federated learning (FL) system, where textit{multiple} FL services co-exist in a wireless network and share common wireless resources. It fills the void of wireless resource allocation for multiple simultaneous FL services in the existing literature. Our method designs a two-level resource allocation framework comprising emph{intra-service} resource allocation and emph{inter-service} resource allocation. The intra-service resource allocation problem aims to minimize the length of FL rounds by optimizing the bandwidth allocation among the clients of each FL service. Based on this, an inter-service resource allocation problem is further considered, which distributes bandwidth resources among multiple simultaneous FL services. We consider both cooperative and selfish providers of the FL services. For cooperative FL service providers, we design a distributed bandwidth allocation algorithm to optimize the overall performance of multiple FL services, meanwhile cater to the fairness among FL services and the privacy of clients. For selfish FL service providers, a new auction scheme is designed with the FL service owners as the bidders and the network provider as the auctioneer. The designed auction scheme strikes a balance between the overall FL performance and fairness. Our simulation results show that the proposed algorithms outperform other benchmarks under various network conditions.
Network slicing is born as an emerging business to operators, by allowing them to sell the customized slices to various tenants at different prices. In order to provide better-performing and cost-efficient services, network slicing involves challenging technical issues and urgently looks forward to intelligent innovations to make the resource management consistent with users activities per slice. In that regard, deep reinforcement learning (DRL), which focuses on how to interact with the environment by trying alternative actions and reinforcing the tendency actions producing more rewarding consequences, is assumed to be a promising solution. In this paper, after briefly reviewing the fundamental concepts of DRL, we investigate the application of DRL in solving some typical resource management for network slicing scenarios, which include radio resource slicing and priority-based core network slicing, and demonstrate the advantage of DRL over several competing schemes through extensive simulations. Finally, we also discuss the possible challenges to apply DRL in network slicing from a general perspective.
We consider optimal resource allocation problems under asynchronous wireless network setting. Without explicit model knowledge, we design an unsupervised learning method based on Aggregation Graph Neural Networks (Agg-GNNs). Depending on the localized aggregated information structure on each network node, the method can be learned globally and asynchronously while implemented locally. We capture the asynchrony by modeling the activation pattern as a characteristic of each node and train a policy-based resource allocation method. We also propose a permutation invariance property which indicates the transferability of the trained Agg-GNN. We finally verify our strategy by numerical simulations compared with baseline methods.
Bandwidth estimation and congestion control for real-time communications (i.e., audio and video conferencing) remains a difficult problem, despite many years of research. Achieving high quality of experience (QoE) for end users requires continual updates due to changing network architectures and technologies. In this paper, we apply reinforcement learning for the first time to the problem of real-time communications (RTC), where we seek to optimize user-perceived quality. We present initial proof-of-concept results, where we learn an agent to control sending rate in an RTC system, evaluating using both network simulation and real Internet video calls. We discuss the challenges we observed, particularly in designing realistic reward functions that reflect QoE, and in bridging the gap between the training environment and real-world networks.
