Using Machine Learning Algorithms in Edge Intelligence for Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications in the Industrial Metaverse

Given the rapid advancements in technologies such as the metaverse and digital twins, the need for effective integration of communication, computation, and storage in complex systems and edge computing environments is becoming increasingly apparent. This paper proposes an architecture to support an industrial metaverse based on digital twins that optimizes resources by leveraging mobile edge computing and ultra-reliable low-latency communication. This architecture reduces latency by employing task offloading and storage methods on nearby edge servers, meeting the precise requirements of future metaverses in terms of reliability and latency minimization. The proposed model, utilizing reinforcement learning algorithms such as Deep Q-Network (DQN), Double Deep Q-Network (DDQN), and Dueling Double Deep Q-Network (Dueling DDQN), is capable of achieving adaptability in dynamic conditions and making intelligent decisions. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method reduces by more than 10% on average compared to the best method available in the literature and improves resource utilization efficiency.
