  • 从高精度网络数据中学习基站调度逻辑,动态预测资源分配。
  • 相比现有方法,网页加载时间误差降55%,实时通信延迟降51%。
  • 适合开发低延迟应用的团队,如云游戏和WebRTC开发者。

当前及未来应用对超低延迟和稳定吞吐量要求极高,但频繁经过5G蜂窝网络,需应对波动的包动态问题,因5G基站调度器会根据用户负载和无线信道状况动态调整。现有工具受限:记录回放式模拟器切断了应用端点与运营商专有5G调度器之间的反馈交互;全栈仿真器则依赖过于简化的调度逻辑。为弥合这一现实差距,我们提出NeuralEmu——一种基于机器学习、高保真度的5G网络仿真框架,直接从极高分辨率的网络遥测工具中学习复杂的5G调度器资源分配行为。NeuralEmu是首个支持多客户端的仿真器,利用机器学习根据瞬时用户缓冲占用和信道状态动态预测资源块分配与调制方式。为捕捉真实的跨用户竞争,其流量重构模型反向推导出未受控背景用户的底层流量模式。作为高性能Linux中间盒仿真器实现,NeuralEmu在多种网络应用上显著降低仿真误差,相较最先进方法,网页加载时间减少55%,WebRTC编码码率误差下降57%,云游戏单向延迟降低51%,为未来实时交互式网络协议与应用提供准确、标准化的测试平台。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Current and future applications demand ultra-low latency and consistent throughput, yet frequently traverse 5G cellular networks, so cope with volatile packet dynamics, as 5G base station schedulers dynamically react to user workloads and wireless channel conditions. The task of evaluating network algorithms in these environments is hamstrung by current tools: record-and-replay emulators sever the feedback interaction that exists between application end points and a commercial operator's proprietary 5G scheduler, while full-stack simulators rely on overly simplistic scheduling logic. To bridge this reality gap, we present NeuralEmu, a high-fidelity, machine learning-based emulation framework that learns complex 5G scheduler resource allocation behaviors directly from extremely high-resolution network telemetry tools. The first emulator to handle multiple clients, NeuralEmu utilizes machine learning to dynamically predict resource block allocations and modulation schemes based on instantaneous user buffer occupancy and channel states. To capture realistic cross-user contention, a traffic reconstruction model inverts cellular network scheduling results to recover the underlying traffic patterns of uncontrolled background users. Implemented as an high-performance Linux middlebox emulator, NeuralEmu reduces emulation error relative to the state of the art for various network applications including but not limited to 55% for web-page load time, 57% for WebRTC encoder bit rate, and 51% for cloud gaming packet one-way delay, providing an accurate, standardized testing ground for tomorrow's real-time interactive network protocols and applications.
