Abstract:
The problem of shared node selection and cache placement in wireless networks is challenging due to the difficulty of finding low-complexity optimal solutions. This paper proposes a new approach combining Lyapunov optimization and reinforcement learning (LoRL) to address content sharing in heterogeneous mobile edge computing (MEC) networks with base station (BS) and device-to-device (D2D) communication. Device in this network can choose to establish D2D links with neighboring devices for content sharing or send requests directly to the base station for content. Content access and energy consumption of shared nodes are modeled as a queuing system. The goal is to assign content sharing nodes to stabilize all queues while maximizing D2D sharing gain and minimizing latency, even in the presence of unknown network state distribution and user sharing costs. The proposed approach enables edge device to independently select associated nodes and make caching decisions, thereby minimizing time-averaged network costs and stabilizing the queuing system. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm converges to the optimal policy and outperforms other policies in terms of total queue backlog trade-off and network cost. Authors
