Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is the second edition in a series of publications dedicated to “Intelligent Modeling of the Ionosphere and Troposphere for Radio Application”.

Since the latter half of the 20th century, the rapid advancement of wireless communication technology has profoundly influenced every facet of daily life, creating an imperative and practical demand for comprehending the space weather in the cognitive realm and acquiring expertise in the principles of radio wave propagation. In recent decades, substantial achievements have been accomplished in space weather science and radio wave propagation research. However, complex challenges persist due to this field's interdisciplinary nature and extensive investigation scope, awaiting resolution. Moreover, introducing artificial intelligence technology has further invigorated space weather science and radio wave propagation, positioning them as vibrant and burgeoning disciplines.

This Special Issue aims to improve our understanding of the characteristics of the electromagnetic environment and electromagnetic wave propagation in the ionosphere and troposphere for radio applications using intelligent modeling techniques. To develop a deeper insight into coupling processes between electromagnetic environment and electromagnetic wave propagation, this Special Issue will focus on observations, models, simulations, innovative algorithms, and intelligent modeling techniques applied in the solar activity, ionosphere, troposphere, and its multiphysics coupling.

This Special Issue welcomes papers that discuss innovative multidisciplinary and multiparameter methods and applications for modeling phenomena in solar activity, the ionosphere, and the troposphere, as well as their possible interactions and signatures of electromagnetic effect.

In modern communication, the electromagnetic spectrum serves as the carrier for information transmission, and the only medium enabling information exchange anywhere, anytime. To adapt to the changing dynamics of a complex electromagnetic environment, electromagnetic spectrum allocation algorithms must not only meet the demands for efficiency and intelligence but also possess anti-jamming capabilities to achieve the best communication effect. Focusing on intelligent wireless communication, this paper proposes a multi-agent hybrid game spectrum allocation method under incomplete information and based on the Monte Carlo counter-factual regret minimization algorithm. Specifically, the method first utilizes frequency usage and interference information from both sides to train agents through extensive simulations using the Monte Carlo Method, allowing the trial values to approach the expected values. Based on the results of each trial, the counterfactual regret minimization algorithm is employed to update the frequency selection strategies for both the user and the interferer. Subsequently, the trained agents from both sides engage in countermeasure communication. Finally, the probabilities of successful communication and successful interference for both sides are statistically analyzed. The results show that under the multi-agent hybrid game spectrum allocation method based on the Monte Carlo counter-factual regret minimization algorithm, the probability of successful interference against the user is 32.5%, while the probability of successful interference by the jammer is 37.3%. The average simulation time per round is 3.06 s. This simulation validates the feasibility and effectiveness of the multi-agent hybrid game spectrum allocation module based on the Monte Carlo counter-factual regret minimization algorithm.
