Quantum Multi-Agent Actor-Critic Networks for Cooperative Mobile Access in Multi-UAV Systems
share
This paper proposes a novel quantum multi-agent actor-critic networks (QMACN) algorithm for autonomously constructing a robust mobile access system using multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). For the cooperation of multiple UAVs for autonomous mobile access, multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) methods are considered. In addition, we also adopt the concept of quantum computing (QC) to improve the training and inference performances. By utilizing QC, scalability and physical issues can happen. However, our proposed QMACN algorithm builds quantum critic and multiple actor networks in order to handle such problems. Thus, our proposed QMACN algorithm verifies the advantage of quantum MARL with remarkable performance improvements in terms of training speed and wireless service quality in various data-intensive evaluations. Furthermore, we validate that a noise injection scheme can be used for handling environmental uncertainties in order to realize robust mobile access. Our data-intensive simulation results verify that our proposed QMACN algorithm outperforms the other existing algorithms.
