Dynamic network allocation apparatus, dynamic network allocation method and non-transitory computer-readable medium

Abstract

A control apparatus that dynamically allocates a virtual network for providing a network service to a physical network through deep reinforcement learning, includes: observation means for receiving input of network configuration information regarding the physical network, network observation information indicating an amount of physical resource of the physical network, and user demand information indicating an amount of demand for the physical resource generated due to a communication action of a user terminal for the network service, and observing a state sat a time t; allocation means for selecting an action ato change allocation of the virtual network to the physical network in accordance with a policy π in the state s; reward calculation means for calculating a reward rbased on a state sto which the state shas transitioned due to the action a; and learning means for learning the policy π using the reward r.
