Decentralized multi-user multi-armed bandits with user dependent reward distributions
The uncoordinated spectrum access problem is studied using a multi-player multi-armed bandits framework. We consider a decentralized multi-player stochastic multi-armed bandit model where the players cannot communicate with each other and can observe only their own actions and rewards. Furthermore, …
