基于分布式强化学习的蜂窝网络覆盖容量自优化
Self-Optimization of Coverage and Capacity in Cellular Networks Based on Distributed Reinforcement Learning
覆盖和容量自优化直接影响用户对网络性能的体验,是未来移动蜂窝网络重要的自组织用例之一。其集中式的优化算法虽然性能优,但却需要获取网络全局信息,带来较大开销。为克服该问题,本文提出了一种基于分布式强化学习的基站射频参数调整方法。具体地,为了避免出现多个问题小区以及问题区域调整较大从而影响邻小区性能的情况,优化目标定义为整个区域的覆盖和容量的加权,接着将相应优化问题建模为马尔可夫决策过程(Markov Decision Process, MDP)。基于对MDP的分解,每个基站视为一个自主控制自身射频参数的智能体,通过与环境进行交互,实现网络覆盖容量的分布式优化。进一步地,为了加快分布式强化学习的收敛,设置了中央控制器实现各个智能体参数调整的协作。仿真结果表明,与遗传算法等方案相比,本文所提基于分布式强化学习的优化方法能够达到较优的全局覆盖和容量。
overage and capacity self-optimization directly affects the user\'s experience of network performance, which is one of the important self-organizing use cases in mobile cellular networks. Although centralized optimization algorithms can achieve good performance, global network information is needed, which can incur huge overhead. Facing above problem, a distributed reinforcement learning based BS radio parameter adjustment algorithm is developed in this paper. Specifically, in order to avoid the occurrence of multiple problem cells and the large adjustment of the problem area which affects the performance of neighboring cells, the optimization objective is defined as the weighting of the coverage and capacity of the entire area, which is then modeled as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). By the decomposition of MDP, each base station can be regarded as an agent that autonomously controls its own radio frequency parameters based on only local information. By interacting with the environment, both the coverage and capacity are optimized. Further, to accelerate the convergence of distributed reinforcement learning, a central controller is introduced to perform cooperative adjustment of multi-BS\'s parameters. Via simulation, the effectiveness of the proposals are verified compared to centralized schemes.
