Proactive Caching for Energy-Efficiency in Wireless Networks: A Markov Decision Process Approach

扫码查看
Content caching in wireless networks provides a substantial opportunity to trade off low cost memory storage with energy consumption, yet finding the optimal causal policy with low computational complexity remains a challenge。 This paper models the Joint Pushing and Caching (JPC) problem as a Markov Decision Process (MDP) and provides a solution to determine the optimal randomized policy。 A novel approach to decouple the influence from buffer occupancy and user requests is proposed to turn the high-dimensional optimization problem into three low-dimensional ones。 Furthermore, a non-iterative algorithm to solve one of the sub-problems is presented, exploiting a structural property we found as generalized monotonicity, and hence significantly reduces the computational complexity。 The result attains close performance in comparison with theoretical bounds from non-causal policies, while benefiting from higher time efficiency than the unadapted MDP solution。
