A cooperative Q-learning approach for distributed resource allocation in multi-user femtocell networks
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper studies distributed interference management for femtocells that share the same frequency band with macrocells. We propose a multi-agent learning technique based on distributed Q-learning, called subcarrier-based ...
An evolutionary game theoretic approach for cooperative spectrum sensing
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Many spectrum sensing techniques have been proposed to allow a secondary user (SU) to utilize a primary user's (PU) spectrum through opportunistic access. However, few of them have considered the tradeoff between accuracy ...
