Multi-Timescale Latent-Action DRL for Joint Optimization in Edge-Cloud Networks

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.18288v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Load imbalance across edge and cloud layers degrades latency performance in hierarchical edge-cloud computing (HECC) systems under dynamic task arrivals and heterogeneous resources, leading to severe queuing delays and inefficient resource utilization. To address this challenge, we study a joint service placement, computational delegation, and power control (JSCP) problem to minimize the average end-to-end (e2e) latency. The resulting JSCP problem is a mixed-integer nonconvex and NP-hard optimization problem due to the strong coupling between discrete and continuous variables. To enable tractable optimization and stable system adaptation, we exploit the inherent difference in decision dynamics and decompose the problem into long-term system c
