This paper examines the use of dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP (DASH) to deliver UHD videos from servers to 5G-capable devices. Due to the dynamic network conditions of wireless networks, it is particularly challenging to provide a high quality of experience (QoE) for UHD video delivery. Consequently, adaptive bit rate (ABR) algorithms are developed to adapt the video bit rate to the network conditions. To improve QoE, several ABR algorithms are developed, the majority of which are based on predetermined rules. Therefore, they do not apply to a broad variety of network conditions. Recent research has shown that ABR algorithms powered by deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based vanilla asynchronous advantage actor-critic (A3C) methods are more effective at generalizing to different network conditions. However, they have some limitations, such as a lag between behavior and target policies, sample inefficiency, and sensitivity to the environment’s randomness. In this paper, we propose the design and implementation of two DRL-empowered ABR algorithms: (i) on-policy proximal policy optimization adaptive bit rate (PPO-ABR), and (ii) off-policy soft-actor critic adaptive bit rate (SAC-ABR). We evaluate the proposed algorithms using 5G traces from the Lumos 5G dataset and show that by utilizing specific properties of on-policy and off-policy methods, our proposed methods perform much better than vanilla A3C for different variations of QoE metrics.</p>","PeriodicalId":501103,"journal":{"name":"Mobile Networks and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140323186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As smart factories progress with the Internet of things (IoT) and cyber-physical systems (CPS), scheduling methodologies are advancing towards intelligent decentralization. However, with the expansion of factories, conventional cloud computing struggles to manage the substantial influx of data. To tackle this issue, this work incorporates a fog computing and edge computing framework into the distributed FJSP workstations. In this framework, the workstations each of which consists of multiple machines are categorized based on the different nature of the accommodated machines, and operate independently to reduce unnecessary information transmission, in which each machine is equipped with edge computing capacity. The fusion of fog computing and edge computing allows for the offloading of computational tasks from cloud computing, effectively reducing latency. While previous solutions for FJSP have predominantly relied on linear programming or metaheuristic algorithms, this work proposed a novel distributed approach based on a dual deep Q networks (dual DQN) architecture, integrating deep learning (DL) with reinforcement learning (RL). Within the cloud center, the initial neural network determines the machine selection rules for fog computing, while the secondary neural network decides the job dispatching rules for edge computing devices. Edge computing devices execute the schedule and provide feedback to the cloud, which refines the results through an iterative training process, so that to minimize the makespan. The experimental findings indicate that employing dual DQNs outperforms the methods of utilizing only one single machine selection rule.</p>","PeriodicalId":501103,"journal":{"name":"Mobile Networks and Applications","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140313471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, accurately predicting received or output signal power in a lower earth orbit trajectory is challenging due to factors such as background light, scintillation, pointing error, and optical crosstalk. To overcome this problem, a technique based on artificial neural networks (ANN) is proposed to enhance the efficiency of received signal power in the IsOWC system. The input features for an IsOWC system include propagation distance, scintillation attenuation, wavelength, pointing error, and input power, ranging from 1 to 25 km, 0 to 6 dB, 800 to 1600 nm, 0 to 1 µradian, and 0 to 4.77 dBm, respectively. The output feature i.e., received signal power, ranges from − 100 to 34.99 dBm. Before training, exploratory data analysis is performed on 2100 datasets generated by 16-quadrature amplitude modulation based IsOWC system. Furthermore, an ANN model is trained, resulting in a low mean squared error (MSE) of 4.8 × 10<sup>− 6</sup> compared to other machine learning model. The impact of hyperparameter tuning on the MSE curve is rigorously discussed. Additionally, the scatter plot between true power and ANN power prediction, along with an error density plot analysis are thoroughly explored.
