Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for V2X Resource Allocation: Disentangling MARL Challenges Through Benchmarking

arXiv:2603.06607v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Radio resource allocation (RRA) is a critical function in cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) networks, where vehicles must share limited wireless resources to support safety-critical communications. Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) has emerged as a promising approach for this problem. However, key MARL challenges, including non-stationarity, coordination difficulty, large action space, partial observability, and limited robustness and generalization, are often intertwined, making it difficult to assess their individual impa
The increasing complexity and demands of C-V2X networks necessitate more sophisticated resource allocation methods, pushing research towards AI-driven solutions like MARL.
Efficient and reliable radio resource allocation (RRA) is crucial for the safety and functionality of future connected vehicle ecosystems, impacting transportation, logistics, and smart city infrastructure.
The explicit identification and benchmarking of persistent MARL challenges for C-V2X RRA provides a clearer roadmap for future development and deployment of autonomous communication systems.
