Enhanced Resource Allocation in Vehicular Networks via Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning

The rapid changes in high-mobility vehicle environments make it challenging for base stations (BS) to obtain comprehensive channel state information. Furthermore, road and traffic safety require communication with low latency and high reliability, posing significant challenges to spectrum resource allocation in vehicular networks. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a method combining dueling double deep-Q network (D3QN) reinforcement learning (RL) with long short term memory (LSTM) network. By using a Manhattan Grid Layout City Model as the foundational environment, a multi-agent model is constructed, with each vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) link acting as an individual agent. These agents collaborate and interact with the environment, receiving feedback, and then determining the optimal resource allocation to ensure both superior mobile service and a safe driving environment. The experimental results indicate that our proposed method outperforms the conventional D3QN network in both the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) links and the V2V links.
