چکیده

Energy Efficiency (EE) is of high importance while considering Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (M-MIMO) networks where base stations (BSs) are equipped with an antenna array composed up to hundreds elements. M-MIMO transmission, although highly spectrally efficient, results in energy consumption growing the number antennas. This paper investigates EE improvement through switching on/off underutilized BSs. It proposed use location-aware approach, data about optimal active BSs set stored a Radio Environment Map (REM). For efficient acquisition, processing and utilization REM data, reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms used. State-of-the-art exploration/exploitation methods including e-greedy, Upper Confidence Bound (UCB), Gradient Bandit evaluated. Then analytical action filtering, REM-based Exploration Algorithm (REM-EA) improve RL convergence time. Algorithms evaluated using advanced, system-level simulator Heterogeneous Network (HetNet) utilizing accurate 3D-ray-tracing radio channel model. The RL-based algorithm proven provide 70% gains over state-of-the-art heuristic. Moreover, filtering REM-EA can reduce time relation best-performing exploration method by 60% 83%, respectively.
