Query: Eco-Vehicular Edge Networks for Connected Transportation: A Distributed
  Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Approach   This paper introduces an energy-efficient, software-defined vehicular edge
network for the growing intelligent connected transportation system. A joint
user-centric virtual cell formation and resource allocation problem is
investigated to bring eco-solutions at the edge. This joint problem aims to
combat against the power-hungry edge nodes while maintaining assured
reliability and data rate. More specifically, by prioritizing the downlink
communication of dynamic eco-routing, highly mobile autonomous vehicles are
served with multiple low-powered access points (APs) simultaneously for
ubiquitous connectivity and guaranteed reliability of the network. The
formulated optimization is exceptionally troublesome to solve within a
polynomial time, due to its complicated combinatorial structure. Hence, a
distributed multi-agent reinforcement learning (D-MARL) algorithm is proposed
for eco-vehicular edges, where multiple agents cooperatively learn to receive
the best reward. First, the algorithm segments the centralized action space
into multiple smaller groups. Based on the model-free distributed Q learner,
each edge agent takes its actions from the respective group. Also, in each
learning state, a software-defined controller chooses the global best action
from individual bests of the distributed agents. Numerical results validate
that our learning solution achieves near-optimal performances within a small
number of training episodes as compared with existing baselines.
