Deep Reinforcement Learning for Wireless Communications and NetworkingEdizione 1

Comprehensive guide to Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) as applied to wireless communication systems

Deep Reinforcement Learning for Wireless Communications and Networking presents an overview of the development of DRL while providing fundamental knowledge about theories, formulation, design, learning models, algorithms and implementation of DRL together with a particular case study to practice. The book also covers diverse applications of DRL to address various problems in wireless networks, such as caching, offloading, resource sharing, and security. The authors discuss open issues by introducing some advanced DRL approaches to address emerging issues in wireless communications and networking.

Covering new advanced models of DRL, e.g., deep dueling architecture and generative adversarial networks, as well as emerging problems considered in wireless networks, e.g., ambient backscatter communication, intelligent reflecting surfaces and edge intelligence, this is the first comprehensive book studying applications of DRL for wireless networks that presents the state-of-the-art research in architecture, protocol, and application design.

Deep Reinforcement Learning for Wireless Communications and Networking covers specific topics such as:

• Deep reinforcement learning models, covering deep learning, deep reinforcement learning, and models of deep reinforcement learning
• Physical layer applications covering signal detection, decoding, and beamforming, power and rate control, and physical-layer security
• Medium access control (MAC) layer applications, covering resource allocation, channel access, and user/cell association
• Network layer applications, covering traffic routing, network classification, and network slicing

With comprehensive coverage of an exciting and noteworthy new technology, Deep Reinforcement Learning for Wireless Communications and Networking is an essential learning resource for researchers and communications engineers, along with developers and entrepreneurs in autonomous systems, who wish to harness this technology in practical applications.
