Deep Reinforcement Learning for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces and Uav Empowered Smart 6g Communications
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has emerged as a cutting-edge technology for beyond 5G and 6G networks due to its low-cost hardware production, nearly passive nature, easy deployment, communication without new waves, and energy-saving benefits. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted wireless networks significantly enhance network coverage. Resource allocation and real-time decision-making optimisation play a pivotal role in approaching the optimal performance in UAV- and RIS-aided wireless communications. But the existing contributions typically assume having a static environment and often ignore the stringent flight time constraints in real-life applications. It is crucial to improve the decision-making time for meeting the stringent requirements of UAV-assisted wireless networks. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL), which is a combination of reinforcement learning and neural networks, is used to maximise network performance, reduce power consumption, and improve the processing time for real-time applications. DRL algorithms can help UAVs and RIS work fully autonomously, reduce energy consumption and operate optimally in an unexpected environment. This co-authored book explores the many challenges arising from real-time and autonomous decision-making for 6G.
