RIS-Assisted UAV Communications for IoT With Wireless Power Transfer Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Many of the devices used in Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications are energy-limited, and thus supplying energy while maintaining seamless connectivity for IoT devices is of considerable importance. In this context, we propose a simultaneous wireless power transfer and information transmission scheme for IoT devices with support from the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications. In particular, in the first phase, IoT devices harvest energy from the UAV through wireless power transfer; and then in the second phase, the UAV collects data from the IoT devices through information transmission. To characterise the agility of the UAV, we consider two scenarios: a hovering UAV and a mobile UAV. Aiming at maximising the total network sum-rate, we jointly optimise the trajectory and the power allocation of the UAV, the energy harvesting scheduling of IoT devices, and the phase-shift matrix of the RIS. We formulate a Markov decision process and propose two deep reinforcement learning algorithms to solve the optimisation problem of maximising the total network sum-rate. Numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of the UAV’s flying path optimisation and the network’s throughput of our proposed techniques compared with other benchmark schemes. Given the strict requirements of the RIS and UAV, the significant improvement in processing time and throughput performance demonstrates that our proposed scheme is well applicable for practical IoT applications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
