• Abstract: Dynamic resource allocation in heterogeneous wireless networks (HetNets) is challenging for traditional methods under varying user loads and channel conditions. We propose a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework that jointly optimises transmit power, bandwidth, and scheduling via a multi-objective reward balancing throughput, energy efficiency, and fairness. Using real base station coordinates, we compare Proximal Policy Optimisation (PPO) and Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) against three heuristic algorithms in multiple network scenarios. Our results show that DRL frameworks outperform heuristic algorithms in optimising resource allocation in dynamic networks. These findings highlight key trade-offs in DRL design for future HetNets.

  Successful congestion control algorithms can dramatically improve latency and overall network throughput. Until today, no such learning-based algorithms have shown practical potential in this domain. We devise an RL-based algorithm with the aim of generalizing to different configurations of real-world datacenter networks. We show that this scheme outperforms alternative popular RL approaches, and generalizes to scenarios that were not seen during training.
