Patent number: 11930414Abstract: Hybrid use of dual policies is provided to improve a communication system. In a multiple access scenario, when an inactive user equipment (UE) transitions to an active state, it may be become a burden to a radio cell on which it was previously camping. In some embodiments, hybrid load balancing is provided using a hierarchical machine learning paradigm based on reinforcement learning in which an LSTM generates a goal for one policy influencing cell reselection so that another policy influencing handover over active UEs can be assisted. The communication system as influenced by the policies is modeled as a Markov decision process (MDP). The policies controlling the active UEs and inactive UEs are coupled, and measureable system characteristics are improved. In some embodiments, policy actions depend at least in part on energy saving.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2023Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Jikun Kang, Xi Chen, Di Wu, Yi Tian Xu, Xue Liu, Gregory Lewis Dudek, Taeseop Lee, Intaik Park

Publication number: 20230047986Abstract: Several policies are trained for determining communication parameters used by mobile devices in selecting a cell of a first communication network to operate on. The several policies form a policy bank. By adjusting the communication parameters, load balancing among cells of the first communication network is achieved. A policy selector is trained so that a target communication network, different than the first communication network, can be load balanced. The policy selector selects a policy from the policy bank for the target communication network. The target communication network applies the policy and the load is balanced on the target communication network. Improved load balancing leads to a reduction of the number of base stations needed in the target communication network.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Di Wu, Yi Tian Xu, Jimmy Li, Tianyu Li, Jikun Kang, Xue Liu, Xi Chen, Gregory Lewis Dudek, Seowoo Jang

Publication number: 20220051135Abstract: Rapid and data-efficient training of an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm are disclosed. Ground truth data are not available and a policy must be learned based on limited interactions with a system. A policy bank is used to explore different policies on a target system with shallow probing. A target policy is chosen by comparing a good policy from the shallow probing with a base target policy which has evolved over other learning experiences. The target policy then interacts with the target system and a replay buffer is built up. The base target policy is then updated using gradients found with respect to the transition experience stored in the replay buffer. The base target policy is quickly learned and is robust for application to new, unseen, systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2020Publication date: February 17, 2022Applicant: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Di Wu, Jikun Kang, Hang Li, Xi Chen, Yi Tian Xu, Dmitriy Rivkin, Taeseop Lee, Intaik Park, Michael Jenkin, Xue Liu, Gregory Lewis Dudek
