波束成形通过定向聚焦能量提升信号强度与质量,在分布式无蜂窝集成感知与通信(ISAC)系统中尤为重要。本文推导了多接收接入点(AP)下联合目标检测概率的分布,并将波束选择建模为马尔可夫决策过程(MDP)。提出一种深度强化学习(DRL)框架,引入奖励塑造与正弦嵌入以促进学习。为避免实时交互带来的高成本与风险,设计基于条件生成对抗网络(cGAN)的数字孪生(DT)模块,作为真实世界的镜像,生成虚拟状态-动作转移对,丰富数据多样性,支持离线策略优化。同时通过损失函数中加入额外惩罚项解决分布外问题。理论分析证明了代理-数字孪生交互的收敛性及Q误差上界。数值结果表明,该方法显著降低在线交互开销,且在严苛条件下(如低信噪比、高速目标、严格虚警控制)仍能有效实现波束选择。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Beamforming enhances signal strength and quality by focusing energy in specific directions. This capability is particularly crucial in cell-free integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems, where multiple distributed access points (APs) collaborate to provide both communication and sensing services. In this work, we first derive the distribution of joint target detection probabilities across multiple receiving APs under false alarm rate constraints, and then formulate the beam selection procedure as a Markov decision process (MDP). We establish a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework, in which reward shaping and sinusoidal embedding are introduced to facilitate agent learning. To eliminate the high costs and associated risks of real-time agent-environment interactions, we further propose a novel digital twin (DT)-assisted offline DRL approach. Different from traditional online DRL, a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN)-based DT module, operating as a replica of the real world, is meticulously designed to generate virtual state-action transition pairs and enrich data diversity, enabling offline adjustment of the agent's policy. Additionally, we address the out-of-distribution issue by incorporating an extra penalty term into the loss function design. The convergency of agent-DT interaction and the upper bound of the Q-error function are theoretically derived. Numerical results demonstrate the remarkable performance of our proposed approach, which significantly reduces online interaction overhead while maintaining effective beam selection across diverse conditions including strict false alarm control, low signal-to-noise ratios, and high target velocities.
