| contents | This paper proposes a Shared Backbone Proximal Policy Optimization (Shared Backbone PPO) algorithm. By sharing the base module between the Actor and Critic networks, the algorithm achieves efficient training and improved performance. The algorithm is implemented in a connectivity-preserving multi-UAV swarm communication coverage task and compared with the standard PPO algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves superior performance. Furthermore, a graph information aggregation module is incorporated into the model architecture to accommodate the communication conditions among agents. With the integration of this module, the algorithm remains effective, and the trained agent swarm exhibits a higher level of cooperation. |
