  6. 5. Link Adaptation in 5G Networks : Reinforcement Learning Framework based Approach

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Siva Satya Sri Ganesh Seeram; [2022]
    Keywords : Link Adaptation; OLLA; AMC; Reinforcement Learning; DDPG; BLER; Länkanpassning; OLLA; AMC; förstärkningsinlärning; DDPG; BLER;

    Abstract : Link Adaptation is a core feature introduced in gNodeB (gNB) for Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) scheme in new generation cellular networks. The main purpose of this is to correct the estimated Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise ratio (SINR) at gNB and select the appropriate Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) so the User Equipment (UE) can decode the data successfully.
