暫譯: 馬可夫決策過程與強化學習在即時無人機物聯網數據收集應用中的應用

This book offers a structured exploration of how Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) can be used to model and optimize UAV-assisted Internet of Things (IoT) networks, with a focus on minimizing the Age of Information (AoI) during data collection. Adopting a tutorial-style approach, it bridges theoretical models and practical algorithms for real-time decision-making in tasks like UAV trajectory planning, sensor transmission scheduling, and energy-efficient data gathering. Applications span precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, smart cities, and emergency response, showcasing the adaptability of DRL in UAV-based IoT systems. Designed as a foundational reference, it is ideal for researchers and engineers aiming to deepen their understanding of adaptive UAV planning across diverse IoT applications.
