Abstract

Energy Efficiency (EE) has become an essential metric in Device-to-Device (D2D) communication underlaying Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) Among the several technologies that provide significant energy, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) has been proposed as a promising solution to improve EE. However, it is a challenging task to study the EE under nonlinear energy harvesting (EH) due to the limited sensitivity and the composition of the nonlinear circuit. Moreover, when D2D users transmit information using the EH from UAVs, interferences to cellular users occur and deteriorate the throughput. To tackle these problems, we leverage concepts from artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize EE of UAV-assisted D2D communication. Specifically, multi-agent deep reinforcement learning was proposed to jointly maximize throughput and EE, where the reward function is defined in terms of the introduced goal. Simulation results verify the supremacy of proposed approach over traditional algorithms.
