Automated Collaborator Selection for Federated Learning with Multi-armed Bandit Agents 多臂强盗代理联合学习的自动协作选择
Hannes Larsson, Hassam Riaz, Selim Ickin
Rapid change in sensitive behaviour and profile of distributed mobile network elements necessitates privacy preserving distributed learning mechanism such as Federated Learning. Moreover, this mechanism needs to be robust that seamlessly sustains the jointly trained model accuracy. In order to provide a automated management of the learning process in FL on datasets that are not independently and identically distributed (non-iid), we propose a Multi-Arm Bandit (MAB) based method that helps the federation to select the nodes that benefits the overall model. This automated selection of the training nodes throughout each round yielded an improvement in accuracy, while decreasing network footprint.
分布式移动网络元素的敏感行为和特征的快速变化需要保护隐私的分布式学习机制,如联邦学习。此外,该机制需要具有鲁棒性,以无缝地维持联合训练的模型准确性。为了在非独立相同分布(non-iid)的数据集上提供FL学习过程的自动化管理,我们提出了一种基于多臂班迪(Multi-Arm Bandit, MAB)的方法,帮助联邦选择对整体模型有利的节点。这种在每轮中自动选择训练节点的方法提高了准确率,同时减少了网络占用。

A Reinforcement Learning Framework for Optimizing Throughput in DOCSIS Networks 一种优化DOCSIS网络吞吐量的强化学习框架
K. Dugan, Maher Harb, D. Rice
The capacity in a communication network is restricted by the famous Shannon-Hartley theorem, which establishes a relationship between maximum achievable capacity, channel bandwidth, and signal-to-noise ratio of the channel. The state-of-the-art in pushing the achievable capacity close to the theoretical limit revolves around coming up with ever more efficient error correction algorithms combined with assigning the proper modulation and encoding scheme to match the conditions of the spectrum at any given point in time. In cable broadband networks, which operate under the DOCSIS protocol, a Profile Management Application (PMA) system uses telemetry collected from cable modems and cable modem termination systems (CMTSs) to dynamically assign DOCSIS profiles that constitute a combination of Forward Error Correction (FEC) configuration, a Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) level, and other protocol-based configurations. The objective behind this dynamic assignment is twofold: maximizing capacity and keeping the uncorrectable error rate at a minimal level. The current PMA implementation, adopts a rule-based approach, where pre-defined thresholds govern the decisions for adjusting the profiles. This approach, while proven to be successful, limits opportunities to fully realize optimal DOCSIS configurations to bring system performance closer to the Shannon limit. Through a reinforcement learning (RL) implementation of PMA, it is possible to substitute the pre-defined rules for a system that learns to select the optimal configuration at each decision point, based on past outcomes and potential future rewards. In this paper, we focus on designing an RL-based PMA system to manage DOCSIS 3.0 upstream configurations.
通信网络的容量受到著名的香农-哈特利定理的限制,该定理建立了最大可实现容量与信道带宽和信道信噪比之间的关系。将可实现容量推向接近理论极限的最先进技术围绕着提出更有效的纠错算法,并结合分配适当的调制和编码方案来匹配任何给定时间点的频谱条件。在DOCSIS协议下运行的有线宽带网络中,配置文件管理应用程序(PMA)系统使用从电缆调制解调器和电缆调制解调器终端系统(cmts)收集的遥测数据来动态分配构成前向纠错(FEC)配置、正交幅度调制(QAM)级别和其他基于协议配置的组合的DOCSIS配置文件。这种动态分配背后的目标有两个:最大限度地提高容量,并将不可纠正的错误率保持在最低水平。当前的PMA实现采用基于规则的方法,其中预定义的阈值控制调整概要文件的决策。这种方法虽然被证明是成功的,但却限制了充分实现最佳DOCSIS配置的机会,从而使系统性能更接近Shannon极限。通过PMA的强化学习(RL)实现,可以将预定义的规则替换为一个系统,该系统可以根据过去的结果和潜在的未来奖励,在每个决策点学习选择最佳配置。在本文中,我们重点设计了一个基于rl的PMA系统来管理DOCSIS 3.0上游配置。

AI-driven Closed-loop Automation in 5G and beyond Mobile Networks 5G及以后移动网络中ai驱动的闭环自动化
R. Boutaba, Nashid Shahriar, M. A. Salahuddin, Samir Chowdhury, Niloy Saha, Alexander James
The 5th Generation (5G) mobile networks support a wide range of services that impose diverse and stringent QoS requirements. This will be further exacerbated with the evolution towards 6th Generation mobile networks. Inevitably, 5G and beyond mobile networks must provide stricter, differentiated QoS guarantees to meet the increasing demands of future applications, which cannot be satisfied with traditional human-in-the-loop service orchestration and network management approaches. In this paper, we lay out our vision for closed-loop service orchestration and network management of 5G and beyond mobile networks. We extend the MAPE (i.e., monitor, analyze, plan, and execute) control loop to facilitate closed-loop automation, and discuss the quintessential role of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning in its realization. We also instigate open research challenges for closed-loop automation of 5G and beyond mobile networks.
第五代(5G)移动网络支持广泛的业务,这些业务对QoS提出了多样化和严格的要求。随着第6代移动网络的发展,这种情况将进一步加剧。不可避免的是,5G及以后的移动网络必须提供更严格、差异化的QoS保证,以满足未来应用日益增长的需求,这是传统的人在环业务编排和网络管理方法无法满足的。在本文中,我们提出了我们对5G及以后移动网络的闭环业务编排和网络管理的愿景。我们扩展了MAPE(即监控,分析,计划和执行)控制回路以促进闭环自动化,并讨论了人工智能/机器学习在其实现中的典型作用。我们还为5G及以后移动网络的闭环自动化发起开放研究挑战。

Mitigation of Scheduling Violations in Time-Sensitive Networking using Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient 基于深度确定性策略梯度的时间敏感网络调度冲突缓解
Boyang Zhou, Liang Cheng
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is designed for real-time applications, usually pertaining to a set of Time-Triggered (TT) data flows. TT traffic generally requires low packet loss and guaranteed upper bounds on end-to-end delay. To guarantee the end-to-end delay bounds, TSN uses Time-Aware Shaper (TAS) to provide deterministic service to TT flows. Each frame of TT traffic is scheduled a specific time slot at each switch for its transmission. Several factors may influence frame transmissions, which then impact the scheduling in the whole network. These factors may cause frames sent in wrong time slots, namely misbehaviors. To mitigate the occurrence of misbehaviors, we need to find proper scheduling for the whole network. In our research, we use a reinforcement-learning model, which is called Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG), to find the suitable scheduling. DDPG is used to model the uncertainty caused by the transmission-influencing factors such as time-synchronization errors. Compared with the state of the art, our approach using DDPG significantly decreases the number of misbehaviors in TSN scenarios studied and improves the delay performance of the network.
时间敏感网络(TSN)是为实时应用程序设计的,通常与一组时间触发(TT)数据流有关。TT业务通常要求低丢包率和保证端到端时延上限。为了保证端到端的延迟边界,TSN使用时间感知整形器(Time-Aware Shaper, TAS)为TT流提供确定性服务。TT业务的每一帧在每个交换机上被安排一个特定的时隙进行传输。有几个因素可能会影响帧传输,从而影响整个网络的调度。这些因素可能导致帧在错误的时隙中发送,即错误行为。为了减少错误行为的发生,我们需要为整个网络找到合适的调度。在我们的研究中,我们使用一种被称为深度确定性策略梯度(DDPG)的强化学习模型来寻找合适的调度。利用DDPG对时间同步误差等传输影响因素引起的不确定性进行建模。与目前的技术相比,我们使用DDPG的方法显著减少了TSN场景中错误行为的数量,并提高了网络的延迟性能。

Selim Ickin
Increasing complexity in management of immense number of network elements and their dynamically changing environment necessitates machine learning based recommendation models to guide human experts in setting appropriate network configurations to sustain end-user Quality of Experience (QoE). In this paper, we present and demonstrate a generative Conditional Variational AutoEncoder (CVAE)-based technique to reconstruct realistic underlying QoE factors together with improvement suggestions in a video streaming use case. Based on our experiment setting consisting of a set of what-if scenarios, our approach pinpointed the potential required changes on the QoE factors to improve the estimated video Mean Opinion Scores (MOS).

Reinforcement Learning and Energy-Aware Routing 强化学习和能量感知路由
Piotr Fröhlich, E. Gelenbe, M. Nowak
We present an approach that uses Reinforcement Learning (RL) with the Random Neural Network (RNN) acting as an adaptive critic, to route traffic in a SDN network, so as to minimize a composite Goal function that includes both packet delay and energy consumption per packet. We directly measure the traffic dependent energy consumption characeristics of the hardware that we use (including energy expended per packet) so as to parametrize the Goal function. The RL based algorithm with the RNN is implemented in a SDN controller that manages a multi-hop network which assigns service requests to specific servers so as to minimize the desired Goal. The overall system's performance is evaluated through experimental measurements of packet delay and energy consumption under different traffic load values, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

FedRAN
Aashish Gottipati, A. Stewart, Jiawen Song, Qianlang Chen
In this paper, we propose FedRAN, a mobile edge, federated learning system that incorporates differential privacy to improve the privacy integrity of sensitive edge information, preventing adversarial entities from exploiting the network interactions within a federated ecosystem to access private edge data, while tapping into the vast amounts of data generated from distributed endpoints. We deploy and evaluate FedRAN in a real controlled radio-frequency LTE environment, as opposed to a simulated one. We show that FedRAN's distributed model outperforms locally-constrained models on the MNIST handwritten digits dataset. Additionally, we explore a variety of differential privacy settings, in an effort, to enable a privacy preserving, large scale mobile edge computing ecosystem. To our knowledge, our work is the first evaluation of a federated learning system within a controlled radio-frequency LTE environment.

Internet Traffic Classification Using an Ensemble of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks 基于深度卷积神经网络集成的互联网流量分类
A. Shahraki, Mahmoud Abbasi, Amirhosein Taherkordi, M. Kaosar
Network traffic classification (NTC) has attracted considerable attention in recent years. The importance of traffic classification stems from the fact that data traffic in modern networks is extremely complex and ever-evolving in different aspects, e.g. volume, velocity and variety. The inherent security requirements of Internet-based applications also highlights further the role of traffic classification. Gaining clear insights into the network traffic for performance evaluation and network planning purposes, network behavior analysis, and network management is not a trivial task. Fortunately, NTC is a promising technique to gain valuable insights into the behavior of the network, and consequently improve the network operations. In this paper, we provide a method based on deep ensemble learning to classify the network traffic in communication systems and networks. More specifically, the proposed method combines a set of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models into an ensemble of classifiers. The outputs of the models are then combined to generate the final prediction. The results of performance evaluation show that the proposed method provides an average accuracy rate of 98% for the classification of traffic (e.g., FTP-DATA, MAIL, etc.) in the Cambridge Internet traffic dataset.
近年来,网络流分类(NTC)受到了广泛的关注。流量分类的重要性源于现代网络中的数据流量极其复杂,并且在不同方面不断发展,例如数量,速度和种类。基于internet的应用固有的安全需求也进一步凸显了流分类的作用。为性能评估和网络规划目的、网络行为分析和网络管理获得对网络流量的清晰洞察并不是一项简单的任务。幸运的是,NTC是一种很有前途的技术,可以获得对网络行为的有价值的见解,从而改进网络操作。本文提出了一种基于深度集成学习的通信系统和网络流量分类方法。更具体地说,该方法将一组卷积神经网络(CNN)模型组合成一个分类器集合。然后将模型的输出组合起来生成最终的预测。性能评估结果表明,该方法对剑桥互联网流量数据集中的流量(如FTP-DATA、MAIL等)进行分类,平均准确率达到98%。

Practical Automation for Management Planes of Service Provider Infrastructure 服务提供商基础设施管理平面的实用自动化
Bingzhe Liu, Kuan-Yen Chou, Pramod A. Jamkhedkar, M. B. Anwer, R. Sinha, K. Oikonomou, M. Caesar, Brighten Godfrey
Managing service provider infrastructures (SPI) is ever more challenging with increasing scale and complexity. Network and container orchestration systems alleviate some manual tasks, but they are generally narrow solutions, with controllers for specific subsystems that do not coordinate on high-level goals, and fall far short of automating the full range of tasks that engineers face day to day. We seek to highlight the need for "practical automation" to manage SPIs. Via realistic examples, we argue that practical automation should provide cross-controller coordination, and should work within the reality that many tasks will involve humans. We describe a proof-of-concept system that leverages AI planning to synthesize management steps to move the system towards a goal state. A preliminary implementation shows that our approach can accurately generate plans for complex management tasks, while scalability and modeling diverse controllers remain as future challenges.
随着规模和复杂性的增加,管理服务提供商基础设施(SPI)变得越来越具有挑战性。网络和容器编排系统减轻了一些手工任务,但它们通常是狭窄的解决方案,具有针对特定子系统的控制器,这些子系统不能在高级目标上进行协调,并且远远不能自动化工程师每天面临的全部任务。我们试图强调需要“实际自动化”来管理spi。通过实际的例子,我们认为实际的自动化应该提供跨控制器协调,并且应该在许多任务将涉及人类的现实中工作。我们描述了一个概念验证系统,它利用人工智能计划来综合管理步骤,将系统推向目标状态。初步实现表明,我们的方法可以准确地为复杂的管理任务生成计划,而可扩展性和建模不同的控制器仍然是未来的挑战。

A preliminary implementation shows that our approach can accurately generate plans for complex management tasks, while scalability and modeling diverse controllers remain as future challenges.","PeriodicalId":130203,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th FlexNets Workshop on Flexible Networks Artificial Intelligence Supported Network Flexibility and Agility","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131926634","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}
