Improving energy efficiency and network performance in IaaS cloud with virtual machine placement by Jian-kang DONG, Hong-bo WANG, Yang-yang LI, Shi-duan CHENG

“…The existing virtual machine(VM) placement schemes mostly reduce energy consumption by optimizing utilization of physical server or network element.However,the aggressive consolidation of these resources may lead to network performance degradation.In view of this,a VM placement scheme was proposed to achieve two objectives.One is to minimize the number of activating physical machines and network elements to reduce the energy consumption,and the other is to minimize the maximum link utilization to improve the network performance.This scheme is able to reduce the energy consumption caused by physical servers and network equipment while optimizing the network performance,making a trade off between energy efficiency and network performance.A novel two-stage heuristic algorithm for a solution was designed.Firstly,the hierarchical clustering algorithm based on minimum cut and best fit algorithm was used to optimize energy efficiency,and then,local search algorithm was used to minimize the maximum link utilization.The simulations show that this solution achieves good results.…”

Large-scale post-disaster user distributed coverage optimization based on multi-agent reinforcement learning by Wenjun XU, Silei WU, Fengyu WANG, Lan LIN, Guojun LI, Zhi ZHANG

“…In order to quickly restore emergency communication services for large-scale post-disaster users, a distributed intellicise coverage optimization architecture based on multi-agent reinforcement learning (RL) was proposed, which could address the significant differences and dynamics of communication services caused by a large number of access users, and the difficulty of expansion caused by centralized algorithms.Specifically, a distributed k-sums clustering algorithm considering service differences of users was designed in the network characterization layer, which could make each unmanned aerial vehicle base station (UAV-BS) adjust the local networking natively and simply, and obtain states of cluster center for multi-agent RL.In the trajectory control layer, multi-agent soft actor critic (MASAC) with distributed-training-distributed-execution structure was designed for UAV-BS to control trajectory as intelligent nodes.Furthermore, ensemble learning and curriculum learning were integrated to improve the stability and convergence speed of training process.The simulation results show that the proposed distributed k-sums algorithm is superior to the k-means in terms of average load efficiency and clustering balance, and MASAC based trajectory control algorithm can effectively reduce communication interruptions and improve the spectrum efficiency, which outperforms the existing RL algorithms.…”

Access selection algorithm for heterogeneous wireless network based on DA optimized fuzzy neural network by Zhihong QIAN, Yinuo FENG, Jiani SUN, Xue WANG

“…To solve the access selection problem of heterogeneous wireless network, an access selection algorithm based on dragonfly algorithm (DA) optimized fuzzy neural network (FNN) was proposed, considering the user’s business type and network state.In view of the low convergence speed of the fuzzy neural network, the dragonfly algorithm was used to optimize the membership function parameters of the second and fifth layers of the fuzzy neural network, so as to obtain the initial value of membership function parameters of the fuzzy neural network.The most suitable network was selected for the users according to their preference to the network and the output score of the network under different business types.The experimental results show that dragonfly algorithm optimization can improve the convergence speed of fuzzy neural network, improve system throughput, reduce blocking rate, and reduce switching times to some extent.…”
