Resumen

Wireless energy transfer technology (WET)-enabled mobile charging provides an innovative strategy for energy replenishment in wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs), where the mobile charger (MC) can charge the sensors sequentially by WET according to the mobile charging scheduling scheme. Although there have been fruitful studies, they usually assume that all sensors will be charged fully once scheduled or charged to a fixed percentage determined by a charging upper threshold, resulting in low charging performance as they cannot adjust the charging operation on each sensor adaptively according to the real-time charging demands. To tackle this challenge, we first formulate the mobile charging scheduling as a joint mobile charging sequence scheduling and charging upper threshold control problem (JSSTC), where the charging upper threshold of each sensor can adjust adaptively. Then, we propose a novel multi-discrete action space deep Q-network approach for JSSTC (MDDRL-JSSTC), where MC is regarded as an agent exploring the environment. The state information observed by MC at each time step is encoded to construct a high-dimensional vector. Furthermore, a two-dimensional action is mapped to the charging destination of MC and the corresponding charging upper threshold at the next time step, using bidirectional gated recurrent units (Bi-GRU). Finally, we conduct a series of experiments to verify the superior performance of the proposed approach in prolonging the lifetime compared with the state-of-the-art approaches.
