Stochastic Game for Resource Management in Cellular Zero-Touch Deterministic Industrial M2M Networks

Abstract

In this letter, we investigate the resource allocation problem for cellular Zero-Touch Deterministic Industrial Machine-to-Machine (ZT-DI-M2M) communications. We consider a scenario, in which multiple self-adaptive industrial M2M communications are deployed underlaying cellular networks to emulate a variety of vertical use cases in Industry 4.0 with the objective of guaranteeing the determinacy of latency. Specifically, in order to figure out the relationship between latency determinacy and the utilization of wireless resources meanwhile modeling the uncertainty of the stochastic environment, we firstly formulate the resource allocation problem as a stochastic game by jointly considering transmission power control, frequency spectrum allocation and the selection of base stations. Afterwards, a random graph-based sparse Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network is proposed to solve the optimization problem while reducing the computational complexity. Finally, numerical result demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
