• Abstract: Millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks, integral to 5G communication, offer a vast spectrum that addresses the issue of spectrum scarcity and enhances peak rate and capacity. However, their dense deployment, necessary to counteract propagation losses, leads to high power consumption. An effective strategy to reduce this energy consumption in mobile networks is the sleep mode optimization (SMO) of base stations (BSs). In this paper, we propose a novel SMO approach for mmWave BSs in a 3D urban environment. This approach, which incorporates a neural network (NN) based contextual multi-armed bandit (C-MAB) with an epsilon decay algorithm, accommodates the dynamic and diverse traffic of user equipment (UE) by clustering the UEs in their respective tracking areas (TAs). Our strategy includes beamforming, which helps reduce energy consumption from the UE side, while SMO minimizes energy use from the BS perspective. We extended our investigation to include Random, Epsilon Greedy, Upper Confidence Bound (UCB), and Load Based sleep mode (SM) strategies. We compared the performance of our proposed C-MAB based SM algorithm with those of All On and other alternative approaches. Simulation results show that our proposed method outperforms all other SM strategies in terms of the $10^{th}$ percentile of user rate and average throughput while demonstrating comparable average throughput to the All On approach. Importantly, it outperforms all approaches in terms of energy efficiency (EE).

  We develop a multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithm to minimize the total energy consumption of base stations (BSs) in a multi-cell network. We show that the trained MAPPO agent achieves better performance compared to baseline policies. Specifically, compared to the auto sleep mode 1 algorithm, the MAPPO-neighbor policy reduces power consumption by approximately 8.7% during low-traffic hours and improves energy efficiency by approximately 19% during high-traffic hours, respectively.

  Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a decentralized technique, where contrary to traditional centralized approaches, devices perform a model training in a collaborative manner.

The current work proposes a Genetic Algorithm (GA) approach, targeting the minimization of both the overall energy consumption of an FL process and any unnecessary resource utilization.
