Resource allocation and spectrum management are two major challenges in the massive scale deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication. Furthermore, the large number of devices per unit area in IoT networks also leads to congestion, network overload, and deterioration of the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). To address these problems, efficient resource allocation play a pivotal role in optimizing the throughput, delay, and power management of IoT networks. To this end, most of the existing resource allocation mechanisms are centralized and do not gracefully support the heterogeneous and dynamic IoT networks. Therefore, distributed and Machine Learning (ML)-based approaches are essential. However, distributed resource allocation techniques also have scalability problem with large number of devices whereas the ML-based approaches are currently scarce in the …
