Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Admission Control for Throughput Maximization in Mobile Edge Computing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
With the development of wireless network technologies, such as LTE/5G, Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) has been proposed as a solution for mobile devices that need to carry out high-complexity computation with limited resources. Technically, with MCC, high-complexity computation tasks are offloaded from mobile devices to cloud servers. However, MCC does not work well for time-sensitive mobile applications due to the relatively long latency between mobile devices and cloud servers. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), is expected to solve the problem with MCC. With MEC, edge servers, instead of cloud servers, are deployed at the edge of the network to provide offloading services to mobile devices. Since edge servers are much closer to mobile devices, the resulting latency is significantly lower. Despite the advantages of MEC over MCC, edge servers are not as resource-abundant as cloud servers. Consequently, when many offloaded tasks arrive at an edge server, admission control needs to be in place to arrive at the best performance. In this paper, we propose a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) based admission control scheme, DAC, to maximize the system throughput of an edge server. Our experimental results indicate that DAC outperforms the existing admission control schemes for MEC in terms of system throughput.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
