Numerical results demonstrate that the energy dissipation of the UAV can be significantly reduced by integrating RISs in UAV-enabled wireless networks and the proposed D-DQN based algorithm is capable of converging with minor constraints.Abstract:
A novel framework is proposed for integrating reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) enabled wireless networks, where an RIS is deployed for enhancing the service quality of the UAV. Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique is invoked to further improve the spectrum efficiency of the network, while mobile users (MUs) are considered as roaming continuously. The energy consumption minimizing problem is formulated by jointly designing the movement of the UAV, phase shifts of the RIS, power allocation policy from the UAV to MUs, as well as determining the dynamic decoding order. A decaying deep Q-network (D-DQN) based algorithm is proposed for tackling this pertinent problem. In the proposed D-DQN based algorithm, the central controller is selected as an agent for periodically observing the state of UAV-enabled wireless network and for carrying out actions to adapt to the dynamic environment. In contrast to the conventional DQN algorithm, the decaying learning rate is leveraged in the proposed D-DQN based algorithm for attaining a tradeoff between accelerating training speed and converging to the local optimal. Numerical results demonstrate that: 1) In contrast to the conventional Q-learning algorithm, which cannot converge when being adopted for solving the formulated problem, the proposed D-DQN based algorithm is capable of converging with minor constraints; 2) The energy dissipation of the UAV can be significantly reduced by integrating RISs in UAV-enabled wireless networks; 3) By designing the dynamic decoding order and power allocation policy, the RIS-NOMA case consumes 11.7% less energy than the RIS-OMA case.read more
