We consider the task of optimally sensing a two-state Markovian channel with an observation cost and without any prior information regarding the channel's transition probabilities. This task is of interest in the field of cognitive radio as a model for opportunistic access to a communication network by a secondary user. The optimal sensing problem may be cast into the framework of model-based reinforcement...
We consider model-based reinforcement learning in finite Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), focussing on so-called optimistic strategies. In MDPs, optimism can be implemented by carrying out extended value iterations under a constraint of consistency with the estimated model transition probabilities. The UCRL2 algorithm by Auer, Jaksch and Ortner (2009), which follows this strategy, has recently been...
