Most of the existing intelligent anti-jamming communication algorithms model sensing, learning, and transmission as a serial process, and ideally assume that the duration of sensing and learning timeslots is very short, almost negligible. However, when the jamming environment changes rapidly, the sensing and learning time can no longer be ignored, and the adaptability of the wireless communication system to the time-varying jamming environment will be significantly reduced. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a parallel Q-learning (PQL) algorithm. In the case of long sensing and learning time, by modeling sensing, learning, and transmission as parallel processes, the time that the transmitter remains silent during sensing and learning is reduced. Aiming at the situation that the PQL algorithm is susceptible to jamming when the jamming changes faster, this paper proposes an intelligent anti-jamming algorithm for wireless communication based on Slot Cross Q-learning (SCQL). In the case of rapid change of jamming channel, the system can sense and learn the jamming patterns in multiple successive jamming periods at the same time in the same timeslot, and use multiple Q-tables to learn the jamming patterns in different jamming periods, so as to achieve the effect of reliable communication in the environment with rapid change of jamming. The simulation results show that the jamming collision rate of the proposed algorithm under the condition of intelligent blocking jamming is equivalent to that of the traditional Q-learning (QL), but the timeslot utilization rate is higher. Compared with PQL, the proposed algorithm has the same slot utilization and lower jamming collision rate. Compared with random frequency hopping (RFH) anti-jamming, the proposed algorithm not only has higher timeslot utilization, but also has lower jamming collision rate.
