文摘Although content caching and recommendation are two complementary approaches to improve the user experience,it is still challenging to provide an integrated paradigm to fully explore their potential,due to the high complexity and complicated tradeoff relationship.To provide an efficient management framework,the joint design of content delivery and recommendation in wireless content caching networks is studied in this paper.First,a joint transmission scheme of content objects and recommendation lists is designed with edge caching,and an optimization problem is formulated to balance the utility and cost of content caching and recommendation,which is an mixed integer nonlinear programming problem.Second,a reinforcement learning based algorithm is proposed to implement real time management of content caching,recommendation and delivery,which can approach the optimal solution without iterations during each decision epoch.Finally,the simulation results are provided to evaluate the performance of our proposed scheme,which show that it can achieve lower cost than the existing content caching and recommendation schemes.
