Abstract
This paper investigates the maximization of the achievable rate for users served by a high-altitude platform (HAP) acting as a flying base station in the downlink of ratesplitting multiple access (RSMA)-based terahertz (THz) communication systems. Considering the dynamic and uncertain environment caused by user mobility and molecular absorption effects, we propose a generative diffusion model (DM)-based deep reinforcement learning approach to address this challenge. The problem is formulated as a Markov decision process, aiming to maximize the long-term achievable rate for all users by jointly optimizing power allocation and the common rate splitting ratio. Moreover, the generative DM significantly improves the decisionmaking capabilities of a deep reinforcement learning algorithm, namely the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG). Experimental simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed DM-DDPG algorithm compared to alternative schemes.
