  • Publication number: 20230403574
    Abstract: A method performed by a central node for controlling an exploration strategy associated to Reinforcement Learning, RL, in one or more RL modules in a distributed node in a Radio Access Network, RAN, is provided. The central node evaluates a cost of actions performed for explorations in the one or more RL modules, and a performance of the one or more RL modules. Based on the evaluation, the central node determines one or more exploration parameters associated to the exploration strategy. The central node controls the exploration strategy by configuring the one or more RL modules with the determined one or more exploration parameters to update its exploration strategy, enforcing the respective one or more RL modules to act according to the updated exploration strategy to produce data samples for the one or more RL modules in the distributed node.

  • Publication number: 20230262683
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) based packet scheduling. In one embodiment, a method performed by a network node for DRB-based scheduling comprises performing a DRL-based scheduling procedure using a preference vector for a plurality of network performance metrics correlated to one of a plurality of desired network performance behaviors, the preference vector defining weights for the plurality of network performance metrics correlated to the one of the plurality of desired network performance behaviors. In this manner, DRL-based scheduling is provided in a manner in which multiple performance metrics are jointly optimized.

  • Publication number: 20230224059
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes receiving a downlink signal comprising an uplink access configuration index, using the uplink access configuration index to identify an uplink access configuration from among a predetermined plurality of uplink access configurations, and transmitting to the wireless communications network according to the identified uplink access configuration. The example method further includes, in the same wireless device, receiving, in a first subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission formatted according to a first numerology and receiving, in a second subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology, the second numerology differing from the first numerology. Variants of this method, corresponding apparatuses, and corresponding network-side methods and apparatuses are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11343820
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses of resource allocation for wireless communication are presented. In an example, a user equipment may contain radio circuitry and processing circuitry such that the user equipment is configured to obtain a set of multiple indices, where each index in the set of multiple indices corresponds to a different uplink resource allocation from a set of uplink resource allocations formed from twelve contiguous subcarriers. In an aspect, the set of uplink resource allocations includes an allocation of the twelve contiguous subcarriers, two allocations of six contiguous subcarriers, four allocations of three contiguous subcarriers, and twelve allocations of a single subcarrier. In a further aspect, the user equipment can receive an index indication corresponding to an index from the set of multiple indices from the base station. Also, the user equipment can transmit data to the base station using the resource allocation corresponding to the received index indication.

The user equipment (12) is also configured to generate a quadrature phase shift keying, QPSK-based sequence that comprises a sequence of QPSK symbols whose respective phases are based on the determined phase coefficient sequence. The user equipment (12) is further configured to generate a reference signal (16) using the generated QPSK-based sequence, and transmit the generated reference signal (16) to a network node (14) in a wireless communication system (10).

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses of resource allocation for wireless communication are presented. In an example, a user equipment (12) may contain radio circuitry and processing circuitry such that the user equipment (12) is configured to obtain a set of multiple indices, where each index in the set of multiple indices corresponds to a different uplink resource allocation from a set of uplink resource allocations (11) formed from twelve contiguous subcarriers. In an aspect, the set of uplink resource allocations (11) includes an allocation of the twelve contiguous subcarriers, two allocations of six contiguous subcarriers, four allocations of three contiguous subcarriers, and twelve allocations of a single subcarrier. In a further aspect, the user equipment (12) can receive an index indication corresponding to an index from the set of multiple indices from the base station (10).
