Multi-Agent Communication Systems

This course begins with an overview of various controlled communication systems, establishing a foundation in the principles and challenges of such systems.  Then it introduces the general framework of Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) and their extension to Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs), offering applications of decision-making in uncertain communication environments.

In this lecture the students learn to model communication systems as MDPs or POMDPs, which enables structured analysis and optimization of system performance under different conditions. Building on this, the course introduces practical reinforcement learning techniques tailored for solving/applying (PO)MDPs in communication systems. The focus is initially on single-agent systems and later progresses to multi-agent communication systems, where interactions between agents introduce additional complexity. Students will learn how RL can be extended to manage and optimize these interactions, with a focus on both cooperative and competitive strategies.

This course combines theoretical concepts with practical programming exercises. The lecture is given in English.
