本文研究下行链路可重构智能表面(RIS)辅助正交频分复用(OFDM)系统中,为最小化平均延迟而进行的联合波束成形与资源分配问题。由于各用户数据包随机到达基站(BS),该优化问题本质上是一个马尔可夫决策过程(MDP),适用于强化学习。为有效处理混合动作空间并降低状态空间维度,提出一种混合深度强化学习(DRL)方法:采用近端策略优化(PPO)-Theta优化RIS相位设计,PPO-N负责子载波分配决策。基站的主动波束成形由联合优化后的RIS相位和子载波分配结果推导得出。为缓解子载波分配带来的维数灾难,引入多智能体策略以更高效地优化子载波分配指标。同时,将缓冲区中排队包数及当前包到达情况等直接影响平均延迟的关键因素纳入状态空间,以实现更自适应的资源分配和准确捕捉网络动态。此外,引入迁移学习框架以提升训练效率并加速收敛。仿真结果表明,所提算法显著降低平均延迟,提升资源分配效率,并在系统鲁棒性和公平性方面优于基线方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This paper investigates a joint beamforming and resource allocation problem in downlink reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems to minimize the average delay, where data packets for each user arrive at the base station (BS) stochastically. The sequential optimization problem is inherently a Markov decision process (MDP), thus falling within the remit of reinforcement learning. To effectively handle the mixed action space and reduce the state space dimensionality, a hybrid deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach is proposed. Specifically, proximal policy optimization (PPO)-Theta is employed to optimize the RIS phase shift design, while PPO-N is responsible for subcarrier allocation decisions. The active beamforming at the BS is then derived from the jointly optimized RIS phase shifts and subcarrier allocation decisions. To further mitigate the curse of dimensionality associated with subcarrier allocation, a multi-agent strategy is introduced to optimize the subcarrier allocation indicators more efficiently. Moreover, to achieve more adaptive resource allocation and accurately capture the network dynamics, key factors closely related to average delay, such as the number of backlogged packets in buffers and current packet arrivals, are incorporated into the state space. Furthermore, a transfer learning framework is introduced to enhance the training efficiency and accelerate convergence. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the average delay, enhances resource allocation efficiency, and achieves superior system robustness and fairness compared to baseline methods.
