Security decision method for the edge of multi-layer satellite network based on reinforcement learning by Peiliang ZUO, Shaolong HOU, Chao GUO, Hua JIANG, Wenbo WANG

“…Selection;the strategy acts on the satellite network,which will change the state of the environment,and the environment will evaluate the strategy and feed it back to the edge center node in the form of reward;the edge center node will perform error calculation and update the Q value based on the new environment state and income,in order to optimize the action selection strategy,so as to obtain higher rewards and new environmental states; the above process is continuously iterated to finally obtain the optimal strategy. …”

Analyzing power errors in the optical pumping system of atomic spin comagnetometers by Jiale QUAN, Ye LIU, Longyan MA, Wenfeng FAN, Wei QUAN

“…From the amplitude–frequency response, it was found that at very low frequencies of the optical pumping power error, the output of the SERF comagnetometer is directly proportional to the changes in the pumping light power. This implies that slow drifts or fluctuations in pumping power can directly affect the long-term stability of the comagnetometer, which is critical for applications requiring minimal drift over time. …”
