Multi-Agent Spectrum Sharing
🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the challenge of interference-free spectrum sharing among multiple cognitive radars operating within a limited frequency band by proposing a distributed decision-making framework based on meta-learning. Each radar node leverages software-defined radio (SDR) to sense spectrum occupancy and independently optimizes its transmission strategy through meta-learning, thereby enabling flexible and scalable adaptive spectrum sharing. Compared with conventional reinforcement learning, the proposed approach achieves a superior balance between conflicting objectives in multi-agent competitive environments. Experimental evaluations across five benchmark scenarios demonstrate that this method consistently attains the highest average reward while maintaining low collision rates and stable transmission behaviors.
📝 Abstract
This project explores how multiple cognitive radars can learn to share limited wireless spectrum with other radio users without interfering with one another. Using machine learning (ML), each device independently decides where and how widely to transmit within a fixed 100 MHz band. The system analyzes real or simulated signal activity to detect which parts of the spectrum are currently in use and which are open. Based on this information, the devices adapt their transmission choices to avoid crowded frequencies while making efficient use of available space. The goal is to develop a flexible, scalable approach to spectrum sharing that could support future wireless communication systems. Experimental results using both over-the-air software-defined radio (SDR) recordings and simulated environments demonstrate that the proposed meta-learning approach consistently balances competing objectives better than conventional reinforcement learning (RL) methods in multi-agent spectrum-sharing scenarios. Across five multi-agent benchmark environments, our proposed method achieved the highest average reward among the primary baseline algorithms while simultaneously maintaining low collision rates and stable transmission behavior.
