Deep Reinforcement Learning for Resource Allocation in V2V Communications

In this article, we develop a decentralized resource allocation mechanism for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication systems based on deep reinforcement learning. Each V2V link is considered as an agent, making its own decisions to find optimal sub-band and power level for transmission. Since the proposed method is decentralized, the global information is not required for each agent to make its decisions, hence the transmission overhead is small. From the simulation results, each agent can learn how to satisfy the V2V constraints while minimizing the interference to vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications

Thirty Years of Machine Learning: The Road to Pareto-Optimal Wireless Networks

Future wireless networks have a substantial potential in terms of supporting a broad range of complex compelling applications both in military and civilian fields, where the users are able to enjoy high-rate, low-latency, low-cost and reliable information services. Achieving this ambitious goal requires new radio techniques for adaptive learning and intelligent decision making because of the complex heterogeneous nature of the network structures and wireless services. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have great success in supporting big data analytics, efficient parameter estimation and interactive decision making. Hence, in this article, we review the thirty-year history of ML by elaborating on supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning and deep learning. Furthermore, we investigate their employment in the compelling applications of wireless networks, including heterogeneous networks (HetNets), cognitive radios (CR), Internet of things (IoT), machine to machine networks (M2M), and so on. This article aims for assisting the readers in clarifying the motivation and methodology of the various ML algorithms, so as to invoke them for hitherto unexplored services as well as scenarios of future wireless networks.Comment: 46 pages, 22 fig
