摘要:

在本文中,我们解决了服务功能链(SFC)的资源配置问题,在多访问边缘计算(MEC)基础设施内的虚拟网络功能(VNF)的放置和链接,以减少服务延迟。我们认为VNF作为系统的主要实体,并提出了一个平均场博弈(MFG)框架来模拟它们的放置和链接行为。然后,在不考虑系统控制参数的情况下,为了实现最优的资源配置策略,我们将建议的MFG简化为马尔可夫决策过程(MDP)。通过这种方式,我们利用MEC节点的行动者-批评者方法来利用强化学习来学习复杂的放置和链接策略。仿真结果表明,我们提出的方法优于基准的最先进的方法。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we address the resource provisioning problem for service function chaining (SFC) in terms of the placement and chaining of virtual network functions (VNFs) within a multi-access edge computing (MEC) infrastructure to reduce service delay. We consider the VNFs as the main entities of the system and propose a mean-field game (MFG) framework to model their behavior for their placement and chaining. Then, to achieve the optimal resource provisioning policy without considering the system control parameters, we reduce the proposed MFG to a Markov decision process (MDP). In this way, we leverage reinforcement learning with an actor-critic approach for MEC nodes to learn complex placement and chaining policies. Simulation results show that our proposed approach outperforms benchmark state-of-the-art approaches.
