Latency Fairness Optimization on Wireless Networks Through Deep Reinforcement Learning

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework to maximize user fairness in terms of delay. To this end, we devise a new version of the modified largest weighted delay first (M-LWDF) algorithm, called β-M-LWDF, aiming to fulfill an appropriate balance between user fairness and average delay. This balance is defined as a feasible region on the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the user delay that allows identifying unfair states, feasible-fair states, and over-fair states. Simulation results reveal that our proposed framework outperforms traditional resource allocation techniques in terms of latency fairness and average delay.
