Abstract

En 中文
In this paper, the real-time decentralized integrated sensing, navigation, and communication co-optimization problem is investigated for large-scale mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSN) under limited energy. Compared with traditional sensor network optimization and control problems, large-scale resource-constrained MWSNs are associated with two new challenges, i.e., (1) increased computational and communication complexity due to a large number of mobile wireless sensors and (2) an uncertain environment with limited system resources, e.g., unknown wireless channels, limited transmission power, etc. To overcome these challenges, the Mean Field Game theory is adopted and integrated along with the emerging decentralized multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm. Specifically, the problem is decomposed into two scenarios, i.e., cost-effective navigation and transmission power allocation optimization. Then, the Actor–Critic–Mass reinforcement learning algorithm is applied to learn the decentralized co-optimal design for both scenarios. To tune the reinforcement-learning-based neural networks, the coupled Hamiltonian–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) and Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov (FPK) equations derived from the Mean Field Game formulation are utilized. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed co-optimal design. Specifically, the optimal navigation algorithm achieved an average accuracy of 2.32% when tracking the given routes.
