Graph Neural Network Empowered Resource Allocation for Connected Autonomous Mobility

Original language description

Autonomous mobility and computations provided for passengers impose a high hardware and energy consumption related costs when deployed locally on connected autonomous vehicle (CAV). Distribution of resources for computation accross the edge of mobile network by means of multi-access edge computing (MEC) allows to reduce the cost of the CAVs. However, the decision on computation offloading and allocation of resources for computing is itself a computationally complex task. Existing works typically do not fully exploit the potential of machine learning by combining novel advances in deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and graph neural networks (GNNs) that are suited for graph structure of the MEC. We propose a novel framework combining GNNs with deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) variant of DRL. The proposed concept is tested in environment with simulated gNodeBs, CAVs and execution of actions that simultaneously trade off uplink and processing resources and control the soft deadline buffer. In scenario with one base station and 12 CAVs our approach outperforms commonly used multilayer perceptron DDPG by 59% in terms of failed task ratio metric. Additionally, in scenario with 3 base stations and 25 CAVs, the proposal reaches over 33% for the same metric over round robin (RR) distribution.
