Optimizing Bandwidth Allocation in Converged Networks Using Hybrid Deep Learning Model

Abstract

The demand for high-speed network services and the increasing development of network traffic have led to the popularity of converged networks, which mix various services over a single infrastructure. However, because of the variety of application requirements and resource constraints, ensuring quality of service (QoS) in these networks is difficult. Conventional methods for allocating bandwidth are frequently static, reactive, and inefficient, which results in less-than-ideal network performance. We provide a unique deep learning method to optimize bandwidth allocation in convergent networks in order to overcome this. We create and use three deep learning models: Deep Q-Networks (DQN), Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), and a special LSTM-based DQN model. We assess each model's performance using an extensive dataset. Our results show that the Novel DQN model performs better than the other models in terms of minimum packet loss, increased accuracy, decreased latency, throughput maximization, spectral efficiency optimization, bit error rate reduction, fairness assurance, and effective channel resource use. Better service quality is the outcome of these upgrades, which also significantly increase upload and download speeds. Our empirical studies demonstrate our methodology's usefulness in real-world scenarios and open the door to intelligent network management solutions that facilitate better QoS, efficient bandwidth allocation, and improved user experiences in converged networks.
