针对无人机辅助的下一代无线网络,路径规划与优化对移动管理、无人机安全及全域连接至关重要,尤其在存在街道峡谷和高楼的密集城市环境中。传统统计与基于模型的方法在引入视距(LOS)、干扰、切换及信干噪比(SINR)等动态信道特性后难以适应,因无法应对时变无线信道,尤其是在毫米波频段。本文提出一种新型无模型演员-评论家深度强化学习(AC-DRL)框架,用于无人机辅助的5G毫米波通信路径优化,综合考虑飞行时间、切换次数、连接性与SINR四方面。通过无线传播仿真工具Wireless InSite生成的真实3D环境数据训练强化学习智能体,使无人机能在最短时间内以最少切换次数到达目标位置,同时维持连接并获得最高可能的SINR。仿真结果表明,本系统在追踪高SINR方面显著优于其他选定的强化学习算法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Path planning and optimization for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)-assisted next-generation wireless networks is critical for mobility management and ensuring UAV safety and ubiquitous connectivity, especially in dense urban environments with street canyons and tall buildings. Traditional statistical and model-based techniques have been successfully used for path optimization in communication networks. However, when dynamic channel propagation characteristics such as line-of-sight (LOS), interference, handover, and signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) are included in path optimization, statistical and model-based path planning solutions become obsolete since they cannot adapt to the dynamic and time-varying wireless channels, especially in the mmWave bands. In this paper, we propose a novel model-free actor-critic deep reinforcement learning (AC-DRL) framework for path optimization in UAV-assisted 5G mmWave wireless networks, which combines four important aspects of UAV communication: \textit{flight time, handover, connectivity and SINR}. We train an AC-RL agent that enables a UAV connected to a gNB to determine the optimal path to a desired destination in the shortest possible time with minimal gNB handover, while maintaining connectivity and the highest possible SINR. We train our model with data from a powerful ray tracing tool called Wireless InSite, which uses 3D images of the propagation environment and provides data that closely resembles the real propagation environment. The simulation results show that our system has superior performance in tracking high SINR compared to other selected RL algorithms.
