基于移动边缘计算(MEC)的无线元宇宙服务为用户提供无束缚、沉浸式体验,但需在严苛延迟约束和高视觉质量要求下实现优质体验。为此,需通过跨MEC服务器协作利用分布式数据,实现智能资源分配。联邦学习(FL)结合强化学习(RL)可生成通用策略,但传统方法需传输完整模型参数,且在异构多接入技术环境下因粗略全局聚合导致性能下降。本文提出联邦拆分决策变压器(FSDT),一种离线强化学习框架,将Transformer模型分置于MEC服务器与云端。代理专用组件(如基于MEC的嵌入与预测层)支持本地适应性,云端共享全局层促进跨服务器协同训练。实验表明,相较于基线方法,FSDT在异构环境中提升用户体验高达10%,同时将近98%的模型参数卸载至云端,显著降低MEC服务器计算负担。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Mobile edge computing (MEC) based wireless metaverse services offer an untethered, immersive experience to users, where the superior quality of experience (QoE) needs to be achieved under stringent latency constraints and visual quality demands. To achieve this, MEC-based intelligent resource allocation for virtual reality users needs to be supported by coordination across MEC servers to harness distributed data. Federated learning (FL) is a promising solution, and can be combined with reinforcement learning (RL) to develop generalized policies across MEC-servers. However, conventional FL incurs transmitting the full model parameters across the MEC-servers and the cloud, and suffer performance degradation due to naive global aggregation, especially in heterogeneous multi-radio access technology environments. To address these challenges, this paper proposes Federated Split Decision Transformer (FSDT), an offline RL framework where the transformer model is partitioned between MEC servers and the cloud. Agent-specific components (e.g., MEC-based embedding and prediction layers) enable local adaptability, while shared global layers in the cloud facilitate cooperative training across MEC servers. Experimental results demonstrate that FSDT enhances QoE for up to 10% in heterogeneous environments compared to baselines, while offloadingnearly 98% of the transformer model parameters to the cloud, thereby reducing the computational burden on MEC servers.
