Patent number: 10375585Abstract: A neural network is trained using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) techniques for adjusting cell parameters of a wireless network by generating a plurality of experience tuples, and updating the neural network based on the generated experience tuples. The trained neural network may be used to select actions to adjust the cell parameters. Each experience tuple includes a cell identifier, a first state, a second state, an action applied to the cell that moves the cell from the first state to the second state, a local reward, and a global reward. The neural network is updated based on whether or not each action is acceptable, which is determined based on the global reward and the local reward associated with each action.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2017Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Futurwei Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Yongxi Tan, Jin Yang, Qitao Song, Yunjun Chen, Zhangxiang Ye
