“Dependency-Aware Microservice Deployment for Edge Computing: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach With Network Representation” Paper

/0 Comments/in /by

The popularity of microservices in industry has sparked much attention in the research community. Despite significant progress in microservice deployment for resource-intensive services and applications at the network edge, the intricate dependencies among microservices are often overlooked, and some studies underestimate the importance of system context extraction in deployment strategies. This paper addresses these issues by formulating the microservice deployment problem as a max-min problem, considering system cost and quality of service (QoS) jointly. We first study the attention-based microservice representation (AMR) method to achieve effective system context extraction. In this way, the contributions of different computing power providers (users, edge servers, or cloud servers) in the networks can be effectively paid attention to. Subsequently, we propose the attention-modified soft actor-critic (ASAC) algorithm to tackle the microservice deployment problem. ASAC leverages attention mechanisms to enhance decision-making and adapt to changing system dynamics. Our simulation results demonstrate ASAC’s effectiveness, prioritizing average system cost and reward compared to the other state-of-the-art algorithms.

A Novel Multiple Access Scheme for Heterogeneous Wireless Communications Using Symmetry-Aware Continual Deep Reinforcement Learning Journal Paper

/0 Comments/in /by

The Metaverse holds the potential to revolutionize digital interactions through the establishment of a highly dynamic and immersive virtual realm over wireless communications systems, offering services such as massive twinning and telepresence. This landscape presents novel challenges, particularly efficient management of multiple access to the frequency spectrum, for which numerous adaptive Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) approaches have been explored. However, challenges persist in adapting agents to heterogeneous and non-stationary wireless environments. In this paper, we present a novel approach that leverages Continual Learning (CL) to enhance intelligent Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols, featuring an intelligent agent coexisting with legacy User Equipments (UEs) with varying numbers, protocols, and transmission profiles unknown to the agent for the sake of backward compatibility and privacy. We introduce an adaptive Double and Dueling Deep Q-Learning (D3QL)-based MAC protocol, enriched by a symmetry-aware CL mechanism, which maximizes intelligent agent throughput while ensuring fairness. Mathematical analysis validates the efficiency of our proposed scheme, showcasing superiority over conventional DRL-based techniques in terms of throughput, collision rate, and fairness, coupled with real-time responsiveness in highly dynamic scenarios.
