Dynamic Spectrum Allocation Using Q-Learning in Cognitive Radio Systems

In this paper we present an improved dynamic spectrum allocation algorithm based on the intelligence of Q-learning. The state space, action space and reward function of the algorithm are built, and, the agents are guided to perform actions through designing the reward function. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve system throughput efficiently compared to other algorithms. Facing the status of spectrum resources is tension and spectrum utilization is low, it can also boost the spectrum using condition in the future.
