Optimizing Vehicular Networks with Variational Quantum Circuits-based Reinforcement Learning (2405.18984v1)
Published 29 May 2024 in cs.LG, cs.AI, and cs.NI
Abstract: In vehicular networks (VNets), ensuring both road safety and dependable network connectivity is of utmost importance. Achieving this necessitates the creation of resilient and efficient decision-making policies that prioritize multiple objectives. In this paper, we develop a Variational Quantum Circuit (VQC)-based multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL) framework to characterize efficient network selection and autonomous driving policies in a vehicular network (VNet). Numerical results showcase notable enhancements in both convergence rates and rewards when compared to conventional deep-Q networks (DQNs), validating the efficacy of the VQC-MORL solution.
