The core message of this paper is to introduce a novel graph reinforcement learning (GRL) framework named TANGO that leverages a symbolic subsystem to provide explainable and trustworthy radio resource allocation in 6G networks.
บทคัดย่อ
The paper proposes the TANGO framework, which combines graph-based representations and Bayesian modeling to address the radio resource allocation problem in 6G networks. The key highlights are:
TANGO transforms the network's state space into a scalable graph format and targets efficient physical resource block (PRB) allocation using a GRL approach.
TANGO augments the GNN-based REINFORCE algorithm with techniques like return baseline, advantage normalization, dropout-based regularization, and learning rate scheduling to improve convergence and stability.
To address the lack of transparency in existing DRL-based approaches, TANGO incorporates a symbolic subsystem with a Bayesian-GNN explainer and a reasoner module.
The Bayesian-GNN explainer employs variational Bayesian inference to highlight the importance of each edge and node feature in the graph, providing introspection into the GRL agent's decision-making process.
The reasoner module manages and executes predefined logical rules on the perceived node and edge importance and associated uncertainty scores, enabling the agent to make informed decisions that adhere to crucial network constraints.
The paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of TANGO's performance across various metrics, including AI efficiency, complexity, energy consumption, robustness, network performance, scalability, and explainability. The results demonstrate TANGO's superiority, achieving 96.39% accuracy in optimal PRB allocation, outperforming the baseline by 1.22×.

The paper presents the following key figures and metrics:
TANGO achieves a noteworthy accuracy of 96.39% in terms of optimal PRB allocation in the inference phase, outperforming the baseline by 1.22×.
TANGO significantly expedites convergence compared to the standard GRL baseline and other benchmarks in the deep reinforcement learning (DRL) domain.
คำพูด
"The move toward artificial intelligence (AI)-native sixth-generation (6G) networks has put more emphasis on the importance of explainability and trustworthiness in network management operations, especially for mission-critical use-cases."
"Such desired trust transcends traditional post-hoc explainable AI (XAI) methods to using contextual explanations for guiding the learning process in an in-hoc way."
