Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Wireless network optimization is essential for improving the network performance in mobile communications. However, due to the stochastic nature of wireless networks, existing schemes based on analytical models and deterministic optimization are less reliable. To this end, we design a framework for robust network optimization based on deep generative models and stochastic optimization. Inspired by the powerful diffusion process, we propose a deep generative simulator to capture the statistical distribution of the network performance. By sampling from the deep generative simulator, we can alleviate the inherent uncertainty related to the network performance and devise an innovative expectation-quantile-based stochastic objective function. The inner expectation is designed for the temporal statistics, while the outer quantile is developed for the spatial statistics. This designated two-tier objective function is capable of mitigating temporal fluctuations and ensuring satisfactory network performance across most geographical grids, thereby achieving robustness. To solve this stochastic optimization problem, a smooth zeroth-order approach is introduced by taking advantage of the unique structure of quantile functions. Through theoretical performance analysis and simulation experiments with real-world datasets, we demonstrate the superiority of our approach over other baseline schemes, highlighting its practical utility in robust network optimization.
