Deep Reinforcement Learning for Multi-User Massive MIMO With Channel Aging by Zhenyuan Feng, Bruno Clerckx

“…This paper 1) highlights the fact that the DRL-based strategies outperform the random action-chosen strategy and the delay-sensitive strategy named as sample-and-hold (SAH) approach, and achieved over 90% of the information rate of two selected benchmarks with lower complexity: the zero-forcing channel-inversion (ZF-CI) with perfect CSIT and the Greedy Beam Selection strategy, 2) demonstrates the inherent robustness of the proposed designs in the presence of channel aging. 3) conducts detailed convergence and scalability analysis on the proposed framework.…”
