An adaptive video stream transmission control method for wireless heterogeneous networks based on A3C by Zhiqiang LUO, Wei WANG, Xiaorong ZHU

“…The adaptive bit rate (ABR) algorithm has become the focus research in video transmission.However,due to the characteristics of 5G wireless heterogeneous networks,such as large fluctuation of channel bandwidth and obvious differences between different networks,the adaptive video stream transmission with multi-terminal cooperation was faced with great challenges.An adaptive video stream transmission control method based on deep reinforcement learning was proposed.First of all,a video stream dynamic programming model was established to jointly optimize the transmission rate and diversion strategy.Since the solution of this optimization problem depended on accurate channel estimation,dynamically changing channel state was difficult to achieve.Therefore,the dynamic programming problem was improved to reinforcement learning task,and the A3C algorithm was used to dynamically determine the video bit rate and diversion strategy.Finally,the simulation was carried out according to the measured network data,and compared with the traditional optimization method,the method proposed better improved the user QoE.…”

Low-power transmission method for uplink millimeter-wave massive MIMO-NOMA system based on GSIC by Hui WANG, Qixin TAI, Liu LIU, Hong WANG, Rongfang SONG

“…The combination of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) can meet the requirements for huge throughput and massive connectivity in future wireless communication network.The total system power minimization for uplink mmWave massive MIMO-NOMA was studied, and a novel framework for a hybrid beamforming mmWave massive MIMO-NOMA uplink transmission system was proposed based on group-level successive interference cancellation (GSIC).Specifically, users were grouped according to channel gain, intergroup users being served by NOMA and intra group users being served by space division multiple access.By designing analog beamforming matrices for different groups and performing joint optimization for digital beamforming and power control, a parallel iterative algorithm was proposed to solve the optimization problem.Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional mmWave massive MIMO-NOMA based on clustering and user-level SIC in terms of total power consumption.…”
