- Abstract: Mobile networks are composed of many base stations and for each of them many
parameters must be optimized to provide good services. Automatically and
dynamically optimizing all these entities is challenging as they are sensitive
to variations in the environment and can affect each other through
interferences. Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms are good candidates to
automatically learn base station configuration strategies from incoming data
but they are often hard to scale to many agents. In this work, we demonstrate
how to use coordination graphs and reinforcement learning in a complex
application involving hundreds of cooperating agents. We show how mobile
networks can be modeled using coordination graphs and how network optimization
problems can be solved efficiently using multi- agent reinforcement learning.
The graph structure occurs naturally from expert knowledge about the network
and allows to explicitly learn coordinating behaviors between the antennas
through edge value functions represented by neural networks. We show
empirically that coordinated reinforcement learning outperforms other methods.
The use of local RL updates and parameter sharing can handle a large number of
agents without sacrificing coordination which makes it well suited to optimize
the ever denser networks brought by 5G and beyond.
