内容简介：

We first start with a brief introduction of Reinforcement Learning (RL) and then discuss its applications in self-organizing networks. The first application is on handover control: We propose a two-layer framework to learn the optimal HO controllers in possibly large-scale wireless systems supporting mobile users, where the user mobility patterns could be heterogeneous. In particular, our proposed framework first partitions the User Equipments (UEs) with different mobility patterns into clusters, where the mobility patterns are similar in the same cluster. Then, within each cluster, an asynchronous multi-user deep RL scheme is developed to control the HO processes across the UEs in each cluster, in the goal of lowering the HO rate while ensuring certain system throughput. At each user, a deep-RL framework with LSTM RNN is used. We show that the adopted global-parameter-based asynchronous framework enables us to train faster with more UEs, which could nicely address the scalability issue to support large systems. The second application is on joint energy and access control in energy harvesting wireless systems, where we show that a double-deep-RL solution could lead us to significant system gains.
