Due to the spatial diversity of the microphone and their relative position to the acoustic source, not all microphones are equally useful for subsequent audio signal processing tasks, nor do they all have the same wireless data transmission rates. Hence, a central task in WASNs is to balance a microphone’s estimated acoustic utility against its transmission delay, selecting a best-possible subset of microphones to record audio signals.\r\n\r\nIn this work, we use reinforcement learning to decide if a microphone should be used or switched off to maximize the acoustic quality at low transmission delays, while minimizing switching frequency. In experiments with moving sources in a simulated acoustic environment, our method outperforms naive baseline comparisons","lang":"eng"}],"_id":"25281","title":"Reinforcement Learning-based Microphone Selection in Wireless Acoustic Sensor Networks considering Network and Acoustic Utilities","keyword":["microphone utility","microphone selection","wireless acoustic sensor network","network delay","reinforcement learning"],"file_date_updated":"2021-10-04T10:58:07Z","date_created":"2021-10-04T10:59:50Z","user_id":"65718","citation":{"apa":"Afifi, H., Guenther, M., Brendel, A., Karl, H., &#38; Kellermann, W.
