Abstract
In this paper, a flexible deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach to beamforming in a millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multi-cell relay network is proposed. This work investigate conditions in which users are dynamically allocated between cells with decode-and-forward (DF) relays, where users’ data are decoded and retransmitted. While near-optimal methods of beamforming may exist, they are computationally expensive. In this work, an intelligent beamforming paradigm using a multi-agent DRL and transfer learning is proposed. No work so far has provided a cooperative beamforming scheme for relays and source nodes (SNs) in the same RL scheme. Additionally, DRL beamforming methods have not been considered for inter-cell handovers in the literature. This work provides a novel method with RL using transferring learning to relieve performance drop due to retraining after handover. Simulation results verify that the proposed multi-cell DRL scheme outperforms traditional schemes by a wide margin.
