Abstract
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly adopted in modern communication networks. However, challenges in decision-making and digital modeling continue to impede their rapid advancement. Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms face limitations such as low sample efficiency and limited data versatility, further magnified in UAV communication scenarios. Moreover, Digital Twin (DT) modeling introduces substantial decision-making and data management complexities. RL models, often integrated into DT frameworks, require extensive training data to achieve accurate predictions. In contrast to traditional approaches that focus on class boundaries, Diffusion Models (DMs), a new class of generative AI, learn the underlying probability distribution from the training data and can generate trustworthy new patterns based on this learned distribution. This paper explores the integration of DMs…
