摘要Integrated sensing and communication(ISAC) systems can enhance security and reliability in full-duplex( FD) networks.This paper studies the resource allocation problem in FD networks based on ISAC.We formulate an optimization problem that jointly considers beamforming,radar waveform,and reflection coefficient of a hybrid reconfigurable intelligent surface,aiming to maximize the beampattern gain of the concealed target while maintaining the quality of service of communication users.A two-stage algorithm is designed to solve this problem: the first stage optimizes the radar waveform and beamforming,and the second focuses on the reflection coefficient design.We acquire the feasible solution using semidefinite programming relaxation.The optimality of the feasible solution for radar waveform and beamforming subproblem is ensured through Cauchy-Schwartz inequality.For the reflection coefficient design,an approximate optimal solution is acquired through successive convex approximation.Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve a superior performance trade-off between communication and radar sensing compared to the benchmarks.

摘要In this paper,a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning-based joint resource allocation and task offloading control technique is proposed to minimize the energy consumption of user equipment(UE)supporting 5G ultra reliability low latency communications(URLLC)and enhanced mobile broadband(eMBB)services while meeting strict quality of service(QoS)requirements in 5G multi-radio access technology(RAT)networks.An optimization problem involving transmission power,channel resource,user association,offloading rate,and central processing unit(CPU)frequency is formulated using a queueing system-based mathematical design to support services with different characteristics while minimizing the energy consumption.It is proven in this paper that this problem is nondeterministic polynomial(NP)hard,in which multi-agent deep reinforcement learning(DRL)is used to solve the problem.To increase the learning efficiency and stability of deep reinforcement learning,prioritized experience replay(PER)and delayed target network and policy updates are applied.Simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides an improved energy consumption performance compared to the benchmarked schemes.
摘要As the types of traffic requests increase,the elastic optical network(EON)is considered as a promising architecture to carry multiple types of traffic requests simultaneously,including immediate reservation(IR)and advance reservation(AR).Various resource allocation schemes for IR/AR requests have been designed in EON to reduce bandwidth blocking probability(BBP).However,these schemes do not consider different transmission requirements of IR requests and cannot maintain a low BBP for high-priority requests.In this paper,multi-priority is considered in the hybrid IR/AR request scenario.We modify the asynchronous advantage actor critic(A3C)model and propose an A3C-assisted priority resource allocation(APRA)algorithm.The APRA integrates priority and transmission quality of IR requests to design the A3C reward function,then dynamically allocates dedicated resources for different IR requests according to the time-varying requirements.By maximizing the reward,the transmission quality of IR requests can be matched with the priority,and lower BBP for high-priority IR requests can be ensured.Simulation results show that the APRA reduces the BBP of high-priority IR requests from 0.0341 to0.0138,and the overall network operation gain is improved by 883 compared to the scheme without considering the priority.

摘要Bacterial growth requires strategic allocation of limited intracellular resources,especially under cold stress,where stabilized messenger ribonucleic acid(mRNA)secondary structures slow translation by impairing ribosome binding.Escherichia coli(E.coli)counters this bottleneck by inducing the cold-shock protein A(CspA),an RNA chaperone that remodels inhibitory structures.However,synthesizing CspA diverts biosynthetic capacity from ribosome production and metabolism,creating a fundamental resource-allocation trade-off.In this work,we develop a dynamical model capturing the interplay between metabolic precursors,ribosomes,and CspA,and use it to examine how growth and allocation patterns shift with temperature.Steady-state analysis shows that each temperature produces a distinct,locally stable equilibrium,illustrating how cold environments reshape cellular priorities.We then formulate growth maximization as an optimal control problem,solved using Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle,to identify allocation strategies that balance translation maintenance and biomass production.The resulting optimal strategies exhibit bang-bang and singular structures,highlighting periods of extreme and intermediate allocation that reflect how bacteria might dynamically prioritize competing cellular functions.These control patterns converge to their corresponding steady state allocations and provide quantitative insight into optimal resource management under cold stress.These results provide a quantitative optimal-control framework linking RNA-level cold-shock adaptation to proteome allocation and growth,yielding testable predictions for how bacteria balance translational maintenance and biomass production at suboptimal temperatures.

摘要This paper investigates the joint resource allocation problem in Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface(RIS)-assisted cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access device-to-device(CNOMA-D2D)cellular networks.To tackle the high-dimensional non-convex joint optimization of power control,RIS phase configuration and channel assignment,we propose an integrated user pairing strategy,PIP-UP,quantifying utility through factors,phase alignment,interference suppression and power difference,neglected in existing methods.Furthermore,we develop a hybrid deep reinforcement learning algorithm,A3TD,combining the parallel exploration capability of Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic(A3C)with the stable continuous optimization of Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient(TD3).This integration enables efficient and robust joint optimization of D2D channel allocation,transmit power,and RIS phase shifts.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed A3TD algorithm significantly outperforms baseline algorithms,Actor-Critic(AC),Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient(DDPG)and TD3,in terms of sum rate and convergence speed,validating its effectiveness for resource management in complex RIS-assisted CNOMA-D2D networks.

摘要The heuristic function in Petri-net-based A*search directly influences both the search efficiency and solution quality for scheduling resource allocation systems(RASs).In the literature,some heuristic functions have been proposed,but most of them fail to consider key aspects such as token remaining time,alternative routes,weighted arcs,multiple resource copies,and batch processing ability,which are common in the place-timed Petri nets(PNs)for RASs.This paper proposes two novel heuristic functions.Both are admissible,guaranteeing the optimality of the obtained schedules.In addition,they are designed not only for ordinary PNs but also for generalized ones,which may have arc weights greater than one.They can effectively handle RAS PNs with alternative routes,weighted arcs,multiple resource copies,and batch processing capability.Most importantly,the new heuristics,especially the second one,are highly informed,leading to faster searches for optimal schedules compared to existing heuristics for generalized PNs.Experiments on several benchmark PNs of RASs have been conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our methods.
摘要Optimizing routing and resource allocation in decentralized unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)networks remains challenging due to interference and rapidly changing topologies.The authors introduce a novel framework combining double deep Q-networks(DDQNs)and graph neural networks(GNNs)for joint routing and resource allocation.The framework uses GNNs to model the network topology and DDQNs to adaptively control routing and resource allocation,addressing interference and improving network performance.Simulation results show that the proposed approach outperforms traditional methods such as Closest-to-Destination(c2Dst),Max-SINR(mSINR),and Multi-Layer Perceptron(MLP)-based models,achieving approximately 23.5% improvement in throughput,50% increase in connection probability,and 17.6% reduction in number of hops,demonstrating its effectiveness in dynamic UAV networks.
摘要Taking Xuzhou in Jiangsu as the research object,this paper deeply explores the optimization path of prefectural-level financial resource allocation under the background of urban-rural integration development.Through the research on the current situation and practical strategies of financial construction in Xuzhou,this paper finds that financial resources can support urban-rural integration development by optimizing factor allocation,upgrading industrial synergy,and improving services and ecology.Innovative financial products proposed by Xuzhou,such as“Cold Storage Loan”and“Equipment Guarantee”,have shown effects in promoting the flow of urban-rural factors and industrial integration.However,the Xuzhou region is still facing problems such as weak rural financial infrastructure,insufficient coverage of inclusive finance,and obstacles to property right mortgage and circulation.In this regard,this paper puts forward multiple strategies to enhance financial support for urban-rural integration development,so as to provide reference for financial support for urban-rural integration development in similar regions in Jiangsu and even the whole country.

摘要Resource allocation remains a challenging issue in communication networks,and its complexity is continuously increasing with the densification of the networks.With the evolution of new wireless technologies such as Fifth Generation(5G)and Sixth Generation(6G)mobile networks,the service level requirements have become stricter and more heterogeneous depending on the use case.In this paper,we review a large body of literature on various resource allocation schemes that are used in particular in mobile wireless communication networks and compare the proposed schemes in terms of performance indicators as well as techniques used.Our review shows that among the strategies proposed in the literature,there is a wide variety of optimization targets and combinations thereof,focusing mainly on performance indicators such as energy efficiency,spectral efficiency,and network capacity.In addition,in this paper,selected algorithms for resource allocation are numerically analyzed through simulations to compare and highlight the importance of how the resource algorithms are implemented to achieve efficient usage of the available spectrum.The performance of selected algorithms is evaluated in a multi-cell heterogeneous network and compared to proportional fair and eICIC,a widely-used combination of resource allocation and interferencemitigation techniques used by communication networks.The results show that one approach may performbetter when looking at the individual average user data rate but worse when looking at the overall spectral or energy efficiency,depending on the category of traffic.The results,therefore,confirm that theremay not be a single algorithmthat visibly outperforms other candidates in terms of all performance criteria.Instead,their efficiency is always a consequence of a strategic choice of goals,and the targeted parameters are optimized at a price.Thus,the development and implementation of resource allocation algorithms must follow concrete usage scenarios and network needs and be highly dependent on the requirements and criteria of network performance.

摘要With the rapid development of commercial communications,the research on Radar-Communication Coexistence(RCC)systems is becoming a hot spot.The resource allocation techniques play a crucial role in the RCC systems.A performance-driven Joint Radar-target and Communication-user Assignment,along with Power and Subchannel Allocation(JRCAPSA)strategy,is proposed for an RCC network.The optimization model aims to minimize the sum of weighted Bayesian Cramer-Rao Lower Bounds(BCRLBs)of target state estimates for radar purpose.This is subject to constraints such as the Communication Data Rate(CDR)for communication purpose,the total power budget in each RCC system,assignment relationships,and the number of available subchannels.Considering that such a problem falls into the realm of Mixed Integer Programming(MIP),a Three-stage Iteratively Augment-based Optimization Method(TIAOM)is developed.The Communication-User Assignment(CUA),Communication Subchannel Allocation(SCA),and Radar-Target Assignment(RTA)feasible solution domains are iteratively expanded based on their importance,leading to the efficient acquisition of a suboptimal solution.Simulation results show the outperformance of the proposed JRCAPSA strategy,compared to the other benchmarks and the OPTI toolbox.The results also imply that the Bayesian Cramer-Rao Lower Bound(BCRLB)is a more stringent optimization metric for the achieved Mean Square Error(MSE),compared to Mutual Information(MI)and Signal-to-Interference-Noise Ratio(SINR).

摘要The unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)-assisted mobile edge computing(MEC)has been deemed a promising solution for energy-constrained devices to run smart applications with computationintensive and latency-sensitive requirements,especially in some infrastructure-limited areas or some emergency scenarios.However,the multi-UAVassisted MEC network remains largely unexplored.In this paper,the dynamic trajectory optimization and computation offloading are studied in a multi-UAVassisted MEC system where multiple UAVs fly over a target area with different trajectories to serve ground users.By considering the dynamic channel condition and random task arrival and jointly optimizing UAVs'trajectories,user association,and subchannel assignment,the average long-term sum of the user energy consumption minimization problem is formulated.To address the problem involving both discrete and continuous variables,a hybrid decision deep reinforcement learning(DRL)-based intelligent energyefficient resource allocation and trajectory optimization algorithm is proposed,named HDRT algorithm,where deep Q network(DQN)and deep deterministic policy gradient(DDPG)are invoked to process discrete and continuous variables,respectively.Simulation results show that the proposed HDRT algorithm converges fast and outperforms other benchmarks in the aspect of user energy consumption and latency.
