Reinforcement Schedules

148
Positive reinforcement is a powerful method for teaching new behaviors to both animals and humans. B.F. Skinner demonstrated this with his experiments using rats in a Skinner box. When a rat pressed a lever, it received a food pellet. This immediate reward encouraged the rat to repeat the behavior. This method, where a reward follows every instance of the behavior, is known as continuous reinforcement. It is highly effective for establishing new behaviors quickly.
Once a behavior is learned,...

    Area of Science:

    • Wireless communication networks
    • Edge computing systems
    • Artificial intelligence applications

    Background:

    • Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) assisted Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) systems are crucial for dynamic environments.
    • Optimizing energy consumption in these systems is challenging due to variable parameters like UAV numbers and resource needs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel framework for minimizing energy consumption in IRS-UAV-MEC systems.
    • To address the complexity of jointly optimizing UAV locations, IRS phase shifts, task offloading, and resource allocation.
    • To enable efficient resource scheduling in systems with a variable number of UAVs.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed a Flexible Resource Scheduling (FRES) framework utilizing a novel deep progressive reinforcement learning approach.
    • Introduced a multitask agent with distinct output heads for discrete (offloading) and continuous (resource allocation) variables to solve the Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) problem.
    • Implemented a progressive scheduler to adapt the agent to a changing number of UAVs, preventing catastrophic forgetting.
    • Integrated a Light Tabu Search (LTS) to improve the global search capability of the FRES framework.

    Main Results:

    • The FRES framework demonstrated superior performance in minimizing energy consumption compared to existing methods.
    • The multitask agent effectively handled the MINLP problem by separating integer and continuous variable optimization.
    • The progressive scheduler allowed the system to adapt to dynamic changes in UAV numbers.
    • The LTS enhanced the overall optimization efficiency and solution quality.

    Conclusions:

    • The FRES framework offers an effective solution for real-time and optimal resource scheduling in dynamic IRS-UAV-MEC systems.
    • The proposed deep progressive reinforcement learning approach with a multitask agent and progressive scheduler is highly adaptable and efficient.
    • This research contributes to the advancement of energy-efficient MEC systems in temporary and emergency scenarios.
