Resource Management In Wireless Networks Via Multi-agent Deep Reinforcement Learning

Abstract

We propose a mechanism for distributed resource management and interference mitigation in wireless networks using multi-agent deep reinforcement learning (RL). We equip each transmitter in the network with a deep RL agent that receives delayed observations from its associated users, while also exchanging observations with its neighboring agents, and decides on which user to serve and what transmit power to use at each scheduling interval. Our proposed framework enables agents to make decisions simultaneously and in a distributed manner, unaware of the concurrent decisions of other agents. Moreover, our design of the agents' observation and action spaces is scalable, in the sense that an agent trained on a scenario with a specific number of transmitters and users can be applied to scenarios with different numbers of transmitters and/or users. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed approach compared to decentralized baselines in terms of the tradeoff between avera
