• Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) has proved to have a promising role in future intelligent wireless networks. Online RL has been adopted for radio resource management (RRM), taking over traditional schemes. However, due to its reliance on online interaction with the environment, its role becomes limited in practical, real-world problems where online interaction is not feasible. In addition, traditional RL stands short in front of the uncertainties and risks in real-world stochastic environments. In this manner, we propose an offline and distributional RL scheme for the RRM problem, enabling offline training using a static dataset without any interaction with the environment and considering the sources of uncertainties using the distributions of the return. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms conventional resource management models. In addition, it is the only scheme that surpasses online RL with a 10 % gain over online RL.

  Unsupervised-to-online RL (U2O RL) replaces domain-specific supervised offline RL with unsupervised offline RL. U2O RL not only enables reusing a single pre-trained model for multiple downstream tasks, but also learns better representations. We empirically demonstrate that U2O RL achieves strong performance that matches or even outperforms previous offline-to-online RL approaches.

  Reinforcement learning (RL) has been widely adopted for controlling and optimizing complex engineering systems such as next-generation wireless networks. An important challenge in adopting RL is the need for direct access to the physical environment. We propose an offline MARL scheme that integrates distributional RL and conservative Q-learning to address the environment's inherent aleatoric uncertainty.

  A central question boils down to how to efficiently utilize online data collection to strengthen and complement the offline dataset.

The proposed algorithm does not require any reward information during data collection.

  We consider a radio resource management (RRM) problem in a multi-user wireless network. The goal is to optimize a network-wide utility function subject to constraints on the ergodic average performance of users. We propose a state-augmented parameterization for the RRM policy, where alongside the instantaneous network states, the RRM policy takes as input the set of dual variables corresponding to the constraints.

  offline reinforcement learning (RL) extends the paradigm of classical RL algorithms to purely learning from static datasets. A key challenge of offline RL is the instability of policy training, caused by the mismatch between the distribution of the offline data and the undiscounted stationary state-action distribution of the learned policy. We regularize the undiscounted stationary distribution of the current policy towards the offline data during the policy optimization process.

  offline reinforcement learning (RL) refers to the problem of learning policies entirely from a large batch of previously collected data. We show that an existing model-based RL algorithm already produces significant gains in the offline setting. We propose to modify the existing model-based RL methods by applying them with rewards artificially penalized by the uncertainty of the dynamics.
