Sample-Efficient Multi-Agent DQNs for Scalable Multi-Domain 5G+ Inter-Slice Orchestration by Pavlos Doanis, Thrasyvoulos Spyropoulos

“…Most solutions addressing the problem of dynamically placing virtual network function chains (“slices”) on top of a physical topology still face one or more of the following hurdles: (i) they focus on simple slicing setups (e.g. single domain, single slice, simple VNF chains and performance metrics); (ii) solutions based on modern reinforcement learning theory have to deal with astronomically high action spaces, when considering multi-VNF, multi-domain, multi-slice problems; (iii) the training of the algorithms is not particularly data-efficient, which can hinder their practical application given the scarce(r) availability of cellular network related data (as opposed to standard machine learning problems). …”
