Networking and Internet Architecture 2022-03-08 v1

Abstract

This correspondence considers the resource allocation problem in wireless interference channel (IC) under link outage constraints. Since the optimization problem is non-convex in nature, existing approaches to find the optimal power allocation are computationally intensive and thus practically infeasible. Recently, deep reinforcement learning has shown promising outcome in solving non-convex optimization problems with reduced complexity. In this correspondence, we utilize a deep Q-learning (DQL) approach which interacts with the wireless environment and learns the optimal power allocation of a wireless IC while maximizing overall sum-rate of the system and maintaining reliability requirement of each link. We have used two separate deep Q-networks to remove the inherent instability in learning process. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed DQL approach outperforms existing geometric programming based solution.
