Spectrum management of cognitive radio using multi-agent reinforcement learning
AAMAS '10: Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems: Industry track

Wireless cognitive radio (CR) is a newly emerging paradigm that attempts to opportunistically transmit in licensed frequencies, without affecting the pre-assigned users of these bands. To enable this functionality, such a radio must predict its ...
Optimizing spectrum trading in cognitive mesh network using machine learning
Special issue on Resource Allocation in Communications and Computing

In a cognitive wireless mesh network, licensed users (primary users, PUs) may rent surplus spectrum to unlicensed users (secondary users, SUs) for getting some revenue. For such spectrumsharing paradigm, maximizing the revenue is the key objective of ...
Spectrum access in cognitive IoT using reinforcement learning
Abstract
With the advent of fifth generation technologies for wireless networks and the expansion of the use of the Internet of things, the demands in using spectrum transmission have increased significantly, resulting in a shortage of available spectrum ...
