Bursty Traffic in Energy-Constrained Opportunistic Spectrum Access
We design opportunistic spectrum access strategies for improving spectrum efficiency. In each slot, a secondary user chooses a subset of channels to sense and decides whether to ac...

Estimation and Approximation Bounds for Gradient-Based Reinforcement Learning
We model reinforcement learning as the problem of learning to control a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (  ¢¡¤£¦¥§  ), and focus on gradient ascent approache...

Active Learning in Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes
This paper examines the problem of finding an optimal policy for a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) when the model is not known or is only poorly specified. W...

Decomposing Large-Scale POMDP Via Belief State Analysis
Partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) is commonly used to model a stochastic environment with unobservable states for supporting optimal decision making. Computing ...

Oracular Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes: A Very Special Case
— We introduce the Oracular Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (OPOMDP), a type of POMDP in which the world produces no observations; instead there is an “oracle,” ...

A formal framework for robot learning and control under model uncertainty
— While the Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) provides a formal framework for the problem of robot control under uncertainty, it typically assumes a known and ...

Structure and Optimality of Myopic Sensing for Opportunistic Spectrum Access
We consider opportunistic spectrum access for secondary users over multiple channels whose occupancy by primary users is modeled as discrete-time Markov processes. Due to hardware...

Stochastic modeling and optimization for robust power management in a partially observable system
As the hardware and software complexity grows, it is unlikely for the power management hardware/software to have a full observation of the entire system status. In this paper, we ...

Optimality of Myopic Sensing in Multi-Channel Opportunistic Access
—We consider opportunistic communications over multiple channels where the state (“good” or “bad”) of each channel evolves as independent and identically distributed Mark...
