Title
Actor-Critic-Based Resource Allocation for Multi-Modal Optical Networks.
Abstract
With the rapid development of optical network, network status appears more and more features. For example, flexi-grid technology introduces noticeable features about spectral constraints and deep features about spectral fragmentation. However, limited by complex non-linear relationships among different features and optimization objectives, traditional heuristic algorithms for resource allocation cannot discover and utilize proper combination of these features sometimes. Reinforcement learning (RL) is an autonomic learning technology that could dig out essential features automatically for network optimization with different objectives. In this paper, we introduce the concept of multimodal optical networks to represent different features of optical networks, and propose actor-critic-based resource allocation (ACRA) algorithm to improve the performance of resource allocation in optical networks. Simulation results show that multi-modal representation method can accelerate the learning efficiency, and the proposed ACRA algorithm can achieve the optimization of resource allocation.
