摘要

Resource allocation in the Internet of Things (IoT) is challenging due to the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of devices. Traditional optimization methods like Simulated Annealing (SA) face limitations in adapting to real-time conditions. This paper presents a hybrid approach combining SA with Modified Deep Reinforcement Learning (MDRL) to address these challenges, enhancing energy efficiency, reducing latency, and improving scalability in dynamic IoT environments. SA is used to perform a global search for optimal resource allocation, while MDRL dynamically adjusts the allocation policies based on real-time feedback, enhancing adaptability. This carefully engineered hybrid strategy leverages the strengths of both optimization techniques, offering improvements in energy efficiency, network delay, and scalability, as shown through extensive simulations. Although the integration of SA with MDRL offers a novel approach in the context of IoT networks, it represents an incremental advancement in optimization techniques rather than a fundamentally new paradigm. The results indicate that the proposed strategy outperforms traditional methods, demonstrating practical advantages for large-scale, dynamic IoT environments.
