In this paper, we propose a new deep Q-network (DQN) design for quality-of-service (QoS) multicast routing (DQMR) protocol to establish efficient QoS multicast (EQM) trees in cognitive radio mobile ad hoc networks (CR-MANETs). An EQM tree is a shortest-path multicast tree with minimum end-to-end (E2...
