项目摘要

Any time an application uses the Internet, behind the scenes, rate control algorithms decide how quickly to transmit data. These algorithms have a critical task; sending too slowly causes delay or reduced video quality, and sending too quickly causes congestion that impacts both the sender and other users. Rate control is a persistent challenge in networking, as it has to deal with a wide range of dynamic environments while making millisecond-level decisions with limited information. This project is developing new approaches to rate control based on an area of machine learning known as reinforcement learning, leading to potential improvements in performance and functionality.At a high level, the project seeks to develop a fundamental understanding of the use of reinforcement learning for rate control, and apply that understanding to the areas of adaptive bitrate (ABR) video as commonly used in modern web-based video, and to transport layer congestion control, such as the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The work will begin with algorithmic foundations by exploring what level of complexity of learning algorithm (ranging from bandit algorithms to deep neural networks) is necessary to achieve high performance. Next, the project will broaden the semantics of inputs and outputs of rate control, including a scavenger rate control protocol and an improved multipath TCP. Finally, the project will use novel automated methods to improve the robustness of rate control protocols in unexpected environments.The results of this project can offer significant performance improvement for deployed protocols, which is of increasing need as modern and emerging applications have ever more demanding network requirements. For example, low latency communication and high quality real-time video are valuable for interactive conferencing, augmented and virtual reality, Internet of Things, edge computing, and more. The project also plans to provide research opportunities for underrepresented groups.The results of this project, including papers and open-source code, will be available at http://pccproject.net and at the code repository, https://github.com/PCCprojectThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

每当应用程序使用Internet，在幕后，速率控制算法决定如何快速传输数据。这些算法具有至关重要的任务；发送太慢会导致延迟或降低视频质量，并发送太快会导致交通拥堵，从而影响发件人和其他用户。费率控制是网络中的持续挑战，因为它必须处理各种动态环境，同时以有限的信息做出毫秒级别的决策。该项目正在开发基于称为强化学习的机器学习领域的新方法来控制速度控制，从而导致绩效和功能的潜在改善。在高水平的情况下，该项目试图发展对使用增强型学习对费率控制的使用的基本理解，并将理解应用于适应性比特（ABR）视频的领域（ABR）在现代基于Web基于网络的视频中的常用视频，以控制层和控制层的控制（例如，Contrancep Contrantion Contrantsc Consterpion Consterp）（例如Conscompesp）（例如Consporsion Conscompessp）。这项工作将从算法基础开始，通过探索学习算法的复杂程度（从强盗算法到深神经网络）对于实现高性能是必要的。接下来，该项目将扩大输入和速率控制输出的语义，包括清除率控制协议和改进的多路径TCP。最后，该项目将使用新颖的自动化方法来改善意外环境中利率控制协议的鲁棒性。该项目的结果可以为已部署的协议提供显着的性能改善，这是因为现代和新兴应用程序的网络需求越来越大。例如，低延迟通信和高质量的实时视频对于交互式会议，增强和虚拟现实，物联网，边缘计算等有价值。该项目还计划为代表性不足的群体提供研究机会。该项目的结果，包括论文和开源代码，可在http://pccproject.net和代码存储库中获得，https://github.com/github.com/pccprojectthis award thisthis award the NSF的智力及其依赖的依据是依据的依据。标准。
