| contents | The low-altitude Internet of Things (IoT), supported by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), provides ground sensing networks with advanced real-time monitoring and data collection. To maximize data collection volume from distributed IoT nodes, AI-powered data collection technology plays a critical role in enabling intelligent decision-making. Among them, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has gained particular attention. However, existing DRL-based work on UAV-assisted IoT data collection rarely addresses challenges such as interference and dynamic data volume, while also suffering from high computational demands and slow convergence. To address these challenges, a hierarchical DRL (HDRL) is designed to optimize UAV trajectories and bandwidth allocation to maximize data collection volume. Firstly, the proposed scenario incorporates interference, dynamic data volume of IoT nodes, and multiple types of obstacles. The entire task is hierarchically structured: the upper-level makes flight trajectory decisions at a coarse temporal granularity, while the lower-level makes bandwidth allocation decisions at a finer temporal granularity. Secondly, a trajectory and bandwidth allocation optimization algorithm based on hierarchical deep deterministic policy gradients (TBH-DDPG) is proposed to solve the problem. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm improves convergence speed by 44.44%, and reduces computational cost by 58.05%, compared to non-hierarchical algorithm. |
