Multi-domain networking slice orchestration is an essential technology for the programmable and cloud-native 5G network. However, existing research solutions are either based on the impractical assumption that operators will reveal all the private network information or time-consuming secure multi-party computation which is only applicable to limited computation scenarios. To provide agile and privacy-preserving end-to-end network slice orchestration services, this paper proposes NetChain, a multi-domain network slice orchestration architecture based on blockchain and trusted execution environment. Correspondingly, we design a novel consensus algorithm CoNet to ensure the strong security, scalability, and information consistency of NetChain. In addition, a bilateral evaluation mechanism based on game theory is proposed to guarantee fairness and Quality of Experience by suppressing the malicious behaviors during multi-domain network slice orchestration. Finally, the prototype of NetChain is implemented and evaluated on the Microsoft Azure Cloud with confidential computing. Experiment results show that NetChain has good performance and security under the premise of privacy-preserving.

Since the objective functions of reinforcement learning problems are typically highly nonconvex, it is desirable that policy gradient, the most popular algorithm, escapes saddle points and arrives at second-order stationary points. Existing results only consider vanilla policy gradient algorithms with unbiased gradient estimators, but practical implementations under the infinite-horizon discounted reward setting are biased due to finite-horizon sampling. Moreover, actor-critic methods, whose second-order convergence has not yet been established, are also biased due to the critic approximation of the value function. We provide a novel second-order analysis of biased policy gradient methods, including the vanilla gradient estimator computed from Monte-Carlo sampling of trajectories as well as the double-loop actor-critic algorithm, where in the inner loop the critic improves the approximation of the value function via TD(0) learning. Separately, we also establish the convergence of TD(0) on Markov chains irrespective of initial state distribution. Copyright 2024 by the author(s)
A saddlepoint of an n × n matrix is an entry that is the maximum of its row and the minimum of its column. Saddlepoints give the value of a two-player zero-sum game, corresponding to its pure-strategy Nash equili...
