- 将参数选择建模为组合多臂老虎机问题,分布式自适应调整
- 实测使数据送达率最高提升10.8%,能效提高26.1%
- 适合大规模动态部署场景,尤其对资源受限设备友好
大规模LoRaWAN网络部署需协同优化包送达率(PDR)与能效(EE),通过动态分配载波频率、扩频因子和发射功率。现有方法常简化问题,仅关注单一指标或缺乏对动态信道环境的适应性,导致性能不佳。为此,我们提出两种基于在线学习的资源分配框架:D-LoRa为完全分布式框架,将问题建模为组合多臂老虎机,通过分解联合参数选择并采用专用奖励函数,显著降低学习复杂度,实现节点自主适应网络变化;为提升性能,我们进一步提出CD-LoRa,引入轻量级集中式初始化阶段,一次性完成准最优信道分配与动作空间剪枝,加速后续分布式学习。大量仿真与真实环境实验表明,D-LoRa在非平稳环境下表现优异,而CD-LoRa在静态条件下收敛最快。实际部署中,相比先进基线,本方法使PDR最高提升10.8%,能效提升26.1%,验证了其在可扩展高效LoRaWAN网络中的实用价值。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The deployment of large-scale LoRaWAN networks requires jointly optimizing conflicting metrics like Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and Energy Efficiency (EE) by dynamically allocating transmission parameters, including Carrier Frequency, Spreading Factor, and Transmission Power. Existing methods often oversimplify this challenge, focusing on a single metric or lacking the adaptability needed for dynamic channel environments, leading to suboptimal performance. To address this, we propose two online learning-based resource allocation frameworks that intelligently navigate the PDR-EE trade-off. Our foundational proposal, D-LoRa, is a fully distributed framework that models the problem as a Combinatorial Multi-Armed Bandit. By decomposing the joint parameter selection and employing specialized, disaggregated reward functions, D-LoRa dramatically reduces learning complexity and enables nodes to autonomously adapt to network dynamics. To further enhance performance in LoRaWAN networks, we introduce CD-LoRa, a hybrid framework that integrates a lightweight, centralized initialization phase to perform a one-time, quasi-optimal channel assignment and action space pruning, thereby accelerating subsequent distributed learning. Extensive simulations and real-world field experiments demonstrate the superiority of our frameworks, showing that D-LoRa excels in non-stationary environments while CD-LoRa achieves the fastest convergence in stationary conditions. In physical deployments, our methods outperform state-of-the-art baselines, improving PDR by up to 10.8% and EE by 26.1%, confirming their practical effectiveness for scalable and efficient LoRaWAN networks.
