This document presents one or more advantageous approaches for Reinforcement Learning (RL) powered management of one or more transmission parameters, such as transmit power and diversity, for maximizing the application-layer reliability and availability of a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) with a minimized level of radio/power resource consumption. Example mathematical models are also disclosed and are useful for transforming high-level 'intents' (e.g., KPIs that are applicable to industrial automation and control systems) into low-level orchestration objectives that drive the RL-based control. These objectives are subsequently employed in the definition of an RL-powered “orchestrator,” which may comprise an appropriately configured network node or other computing platform associated with the wireless communication network used to provide inter-device communications for a CPS comprising a population of devices. Further, the disclosure details example communication—e.g., observations and corresponding control signaling—between the orchestrator and the environment being managed.

Methods and apparatus for controlling one or more transmission parameters used by a wireless communication network for a population of devices comprising a cyber-physical system

Spectrum usage in a radio cognitive transmission system may be monitored in a distributed manner in space and time through a first set of monitoring apparatuses and a second set of monitoring apparatuses. The first set of monitoring apparatuses may be associated to apparatuses, such as base stations, having a monitoring precision level, for example, linked to the spectrum sampling frequency, greater with respect to the monitoring precision of the monitoring apparatus of the second set. The later may be suitable to be represented by a low-cost 'sniffer' associated to consumer electronics devices.
