Research Fellow
Mahshid Mehrabi is a Ph.D. student at the “Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks” at TU Dresden, working on the EU project SECRET. She has been working with the chair since March 2018. She received her Bachelor and Master Degree in Electrical Engineering from Zanjan and Amirkabir university of technology (Tehran polytechnic), respectively. During her Master period, she developed deep interests in research on Wireless Communication Networks. Currently, she is pursuing her PhD on the topic of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) at TU Dresden and her main interests are offloading schemes and content caching. She served as a reviewer for different conferences and journals including IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials and IEEE Communications Standards Magazine.

Among various layer three block codes, Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) has emerged as an adaptable, powerful approach. However, its most straight-forward implementation, Full Vector Coding (FVC), introduces too much delay for widespread adoption. Handcrafted schemes were introduced to optimise coding delay, while keeping resilience reasonably high. These works have resulted in tailRLNC and PACE. For the first time we analyse their respective behaviours in a fair and comparable manner, as non-recovered packets were statistically ignored previously. We then introduce an environment that uses a consistent, unbiased simulator and interface it with a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agent. This is the first time RLNC is joined with DRL. Our deep Q-network (DQN) based agent effectively uses an optimisation loop and utilises a customisable, expressive and extendable parametric loss function to learn a protocol. We demonstrate our agent recovers hand-tailored schemes and achieves state of the art.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} }
