Abstract: The coexistence of Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) and Enhanced Mobile Broad band (eMBB) services in 5th Generation (5G)-based Industrial Wireless Networks (IWNs) poses significant resource slicing challenges due to their inherent performance requirement conflicts. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a puncturing method that utilizes a model-aided deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm for URLLC over eMBB services in uplink 5G networks. First, a puncturing-based optimization problem is formulated to maximize the accumulated eMBB rate under strict URLLC latency and reliability constraints. Next, we design a Random Repetition Coding-based Contention (RRCC) scheme for sporadic URLLC traffic and derive its analytical reliability model. To jointly optimize the scheduling parameters of URLLC and eMBB, a DRL solution based on the reliability model is developed, which is capable of dynamically adapting to changing environments. The accelerated convergence of the model-aided DRL algorithm is demonstrated using simulations, and the superiority in resource effciency of the proposed method over existing approaches is validated.
