DQLEL: Deep Q-Learning for Energy-Optimized LoS/NLoS UWB Node Selection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ultra Wide Band (UWB) has been emerged as a technology to provide reliable, accurate, and energy-efficient indoor navigation/localization systems. There are, however, several key challenges ahead for its efficient implementation including complexity of the identification/mitigation of Non Line of Sight (NLoS) links, and the limited battery life of UWB beacons, which is especially problematic in practical circumstances with certain beacons located in strategic positions. To address these challenges, we introduce an efficient node selection framework to enhance the location accuracy, without using complex NLoS mitigation methods, while maintaining a balance between the remaining battery life of UWB beacons. Referred to as the Deep Q-Learning Energy-optimized LoS/NLoS (DQLEL) UWB node selection framework, the mobile user is autonomously trained to determine the optimal set of UWB beacons to be localized based on the 2-D Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) framework. The effectiveness of the proposed DQLEL framework is evaluated in terms of the link condition, the deviation of the remaining battery life of UWB beacons, location error, and cumulative rewards. Based on the simulation results, the proposed DQLEL framework significantly outperformed its counterparts across the aforementioned aspects.

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.
