A Survey of Quantum Deep Reinforcement Learning for Resource Allocation in Future Wireless Networks

Ni Made Erma Pratiwi Astiti, Byung Moo Lee

The significant rise in wireless communication, driven by sixth-generation (6G) networks, underscores the urgent need for innovative resource allocation methods to achieve efficiency, scalability, and reliability. This survey explores the integration of Quantum Deep Reinforcement Learning (QDRL) as a strategy to address the challenges posed by dynamic and complex wireless environments. By leveraging quantum computing features such as superposition and entanglement, QDRL enhances computational efficiency and mitigates the scalability limitations of classical and deep reinforcement learning (DRL) in high-dimensional optimization. The study reviews recent QDRL approaches for key resource allocation tasks, including power distribution, user scheduling, and channel assignment, and examines quantum algorithms such as the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and Quantum Neural Networks (QNN) for improved decision-making in wireless systems. Furthermore, it emphasizes the connection between quantum computing and DRL, highlighting hybrid architectures that balance computational cost, energy efficiency, and scalability. Finally, the survey identifies research gaps and outlines future directions, paving the way for robust QDRL strategies to support next-generation wireless networks.

Quantum Deep Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Resource Allocation in Mobile Edge Computing-Based IoT Systems

James Adu Ansere, Eric Gyamfi, Vishal Sharma +3 more

This paper exploits a quantum-empowered machine learning algorithm to enhance computation learning speed. We leverage quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to work on large-scale multi-dimensional data represented by quantum states. Under stochastic behaviors and quantum uncertainty, we examine the offloading problem to maximize the computational task processing efficiency, considering the computation latency, energy consumption, and quantum network adaptability. From the Markov decision process, the paper proposes a novel quantum-empowered deep reinforcement learning (Qe-DRL) approach, combining quantum computing theory and machine learning to achieve exploration and exploitation trade-off via quantum parallelism significantly. Furthermore, we develop a modified Grover’s algorithm with exponential convergence speed to provide a searching strategy for transition quantum states probabilities. Simulation results establish the effectiveness of the proposed Qe-DRL algorithm and its superior computational learning speed. Our proposed Qe-DRL algorithm outperforms other benchmarks in terms of energy efficiency performance.
