Research on resource allocation algorithm of centralized and distributed Q-learning in machine communication by Yunhe YU, Jun SUN

“…Under the premise of ensuring partial machine type communication device (MTCD)’s quality of service (QoS) requirements, the resource allocation problem was studied with the goal of maximizing system throughput in the massive machine type communication (mMTC) scenario.Two resource allocation algorithms based on Q-learning were proposed: centralized Q-learning algorithm (team-Q) and distributed Q-learning algorithm (dis-Q).Firstly, taking into account MTCD’s geographic location and multi-level QoS requirements, a clustering algorithm based on cosine similarity (CS) was designed.In the clustering algorithm, multi-dimensional vectors that represent MTCD and data aggregator (DA) were constructed, and MTCDs can be grouped according to the CS value between multi-dimensional vectors.Then in the MTC network, the team-Q learning algorithm and dis-Q learning algorithm were used to allocate resource blocks and power for the MTCD.In terms of throughput performance, team-Q and dis-Q algorithms have an average increase of 16% and 23% compared to the dynamic resource allocation algorithm and the greedy algorithm, respectively.In terms of complexity performance, the dis-Q algorithm is only 25% of team-Q algorithm and even below, the convergence speed is increased by nearly 40%.…”

A Hybrid Dual-Axis Solar Tracking System: Combining Light-Sensing and Time-Based GPS for Optimal Energy Efficiency by Muhammad Hammas, Hassen Fituri, Ali Shour, Ashraf Ali Khan, Usman Ali Khan, Shehab Ahmed

“…Fixed solar panels face significant energy loss as they cannot consistently capture optimal sunlight. Because of that, the overall efficiency of the PV panel will be reduced, and the installation requires larger land space to generate appropriate power; this stems from the use of a dual-axis solar tracking system, which can significantly increase overall energy production. …”
