ItemAchieving AI-enabled Robust End-to-End Quality of Experience over Radio Access Networks( 2022-01-13)Emerging applications such as Augmented Reality, the Internet of Vehicles and Remote Surgery require both computing and networking functions working in harmony. The End-to-end (E2E) quality of experience (QoE) for these applications depends on the synchronous allocation of networking and computing resources. However, the relationship between the resources and the E2E QoE outcomes is typically stochastic and non-linear. In order to make efficient resource allocation decisions, it is essential to model these relationships. This article presents a novel machine-learning based approach to learn these relationships and concurrently orchestrate both resources for this purpose. The machine learning models further help make robust allocation decisions regarding stochastic variations and simplify robust optimization to a conventional constrained optimization. When resources are insufficient to accommodate all application requirements, our framework supports executing some of the applications with minimal degradation (graceful degradation) of E2E QoE. We also show how we can implement the learning and optimization methods in a distributed fashion by the Software-Defined Network (SDN) and Kubernetes technologies. Our results show that deep learning-based modelling achieves E2E QoE with approximately 99.8\% accuracy, and our robust joint-optimization technique allocates resources efficiently when compared to existing differential services alternatives.
