Table 1 Symbolic variables used by the system model

From: Distributed reinforcement learning-based memory allocation for edge-PLCs in industrial IoT

Variable

Meaning

\(Tp_i\)

Data type i

\(l_t ^ i\)

Absolute memory capacity allocated to \(Tp_i\) at time t

\(x_i\)

The actual size of \(Tp_i\) type data

\(n_t^i\)

The allocated data unit quantity for \(Tp_i\) at time t

m

The total number of data types that exist in the system

\(P_t\)

The partition of memory at time t.

S

The set of all the states

A

The set of all the actions

\(R_{t+1}\)

The reward value corresponding to \((s_t,a_t)\)

Mem

Edge PLC memory maximum capacity

\(Ploss_t ^ i\)

Loss probability of \(Tp_i\) between t and \(t+1\)

\(Ar_t ^ i\)

The amount of \(Tp_i\) that arrives between t and \(t+1\)

\(loss_t ^ i\)

The amount of \(Tp_i\) that is lost between t and \(t+1\)
