Quantum Collective Learning and Many-to-Many Matching Game in the Metaverse for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles.

The accuracy of artificial intelligence (AI) models is crucial for connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). However, in reality, model training under less frequent weather faces the problem of insufficient sampling. Also, in the real world, weather, sunlight, etc., can only change with the speed of the real-time clock, so the traditional sampling process is very slow. Moreover, currently, collective learning, which can make up the limited experience and computing power of a single vehicle, is always introduced to cases where the data from participants have the same structure, wasting massive heterogeneous data from vehicles of different brands. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a quantum collective learning and many-to-many matching game-based scheme in the metaverse for CAVs. The environment is simulated in the metaverse, which has its own time clock system, thereby expanding sample size and speeding up the sampling process. And we quantify the quality of intelligence in collective learning from the perspective of feature diversity. It is the cornerstone of collective learning between heterogeneous vehicles, facilitating maximum utilization of data with different structures. Then, we formulate the distributed vehicles selection problem as a many-to-many matching game and use Gale–Shapely algorithm to solve it. Also, we formulate the spectrum resource allocation problem as a discrete Markov decision process (MDP) and adopt a quantum-inspired reinforcement learning (QRL) algorithm to find the optimal policy to achieve the high revenue of the system. In simulations, the performance of the proposed scheme is compared with existing methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
