Q-Learning-Based Multi-channel ALOHA MAC for LoRaWAN
摘要
LoRaWAN is a popular IoT wireless access technology that is characterized by low power and long range. This paper proposes a new decentralized access scheme that utilizes Reinforcement Learning to enhance the capacity of the multichannel ALOHA used by LoRaWAN. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated via extensive simulations and compared to the standard multichannel ALOHA in LoRaWAN. The simulation results demonstrate that the new scheme can achieve a throughput of
