Dual time scale network slicing algorithm based on D3QN for B5G multi-service scenarios.

To effectively meet the differentiated quality of service (QoS) requirements of different slices, a dual time scale network slicing resource allocation algorithm based on dueling double DQN (D3QN) was proposed for B5G multi-service scenarios. The joint resource slicing and scheduling problem was formulated, with the weighted sum of the normalized spectral efficiency (SE) and the QoS of users indices of different slices as the optimization objective. On large time scale, the SDN controller used the D3QN algorithm to pre-allocate resources to different slices based on the resource requirements of each service, and then performed BS-level resource updating based on the load status of BS. On small time scale, the BS scheduled resources to end-users by using the round-robin scheduling algorithm. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has excellent performance in ensuring the QoS requirements of slice users, SE and system utility. Compared with the other 4 baseline algorithms, the system utility is improved by 3.22%, 3.81%, 7.48% and 21.14%, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
