Description
Summary:Abstract In this paper, with the promising assumption of using adaptive directional microstrip antenna on user equipment, the problem of joint antenna selection, spectrum assignment, and transmit power allocation for mm‐wave device‐to‐device communications underlying cellular networks is tackled, with the goal of enhancing system throughput and energy efficiency. To address the complexity of this problem, a method based on multi‐agent distributed deep reinforcement learning in which an autonomous intelligent agent is deployed for each user equipment is proposed. The performance evaluation demonstrates its superiority over existing strategies, resulting in improved system performance, reduced outage probability, and enhanced energy efficiency.
