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

“…Simulation results show that the proposed method has the best convergence performance under all 4 different configuration conditions,however,the initial performance of the low-high network configuration is excellent under partial snapshots,but as the training progresses, Its convergence performance becomes poor, because the network configuration has fewer link choices,which limits its performance; 3) The performance of the proposed method and the comparison method is simulated and verified by using the test set. …”

Grier, Jonathan R. Trump, Yue Shen, Keith Horne, Patrick B. Hall, Scott F. Anderson, Luis C. Ho, D. P. Schneider

“…Our results demonstrate that a modest reduction in the observing cadence to ∼1.5 weeks between observations can retain approximately 90% of the lag measurements compared to twice-weekly observations in the initial year. Provided similar and uniform sampling in subsequent years, this adjustment has a minimal effect on the overall recovery of lags across all emission lines. …”
