摘要

En 中文
C-RAN (Cloud Radio Access Network) is a 5G architecture that consists of sites and three-layer Data Centers (DCs), which include the central office DC, local DC, and regional DC. Network slicing, which enables infrastructure providers (InP) to create independent logical networks, is essential in this architecture. By utilizing this technology, InPs can maximize the utility of the network by providing slices to service providers in response to their slice requests. However, almost all of the recent research on slice admission control (SAC) schemes has only considered one or two layers of DCs, which limits the efficiency of the slicing process and decreases network utility. To address these issues, this paper proposes an intelligent SAC scheme called ISAC that considers all three-layer DCs. Instead of relying on reinforcement learning algorithms like Q-learning, which are effective in discrete environments with limited state space but give poor performance in continuous environments, ISAC employs the Approximate Reinforcement Learning (ARL) algorithm. ARL is better suited for 5G network modeling because it can adapt to continuous environments, allowing for a more accurate representation of the underlying physical processes. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate that ISAC significantly improves performance in terms of slice request rejection rates, InP revenue, accepting more slices, and optimizing resource utilization.
