Abstract
To address the issues of energy lifetime and resource utilization in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the combination of wireless energy harvesting and Backscatter Communication (BC) technology significantly enhances the large-scale interconnection capability of IIoT. In this paper, we propose a hybrid Device-to-Device (D2D) communication framework that combines BC with Active Transmission (AT), where devices can make intelligent decisions to switch between modes based on distance, channel, and energy conditions. By jointly optimizing device associations, backscatter coefficients, load, and time allocation, the system maximizes energy efficiency while meeting delay, energy, and task requirements. Meanwhile, considering that selfish device behaviors may hinder collaboration, we design a payment mechanism based on resource-sharing benefits, incorporating social relationships to incentivize devices to actively participate in cooperation. Additionally, we propose a Multiagent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient algorithm in the D2D hybrid communication network to solve the long-term joint optimization problem, enabling devices to dynamically adjust offloading strategies and construct optimal D2D links. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves higher rewards and faster learning speeds, improving system energy efficiency by approximately 5.3% compared to A3C-HAB and by about 33.3% compared to other benchmark solutions, demonstrating superior energy efficiency performance.
