Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 12Multi-Agent Context Learning Strategy for Interference-Aware Beam Allocation in mmWave Vehicular Communications(IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2024-07) Kose, Abdulkadir; Lee, Haeyoung; Foh, Chuan Heng; Shojafar, MohammadMillimeter wave (mmWave) has been recognized as one of key technologies for 5G and beyond networks due to its potential to enhance channel bandwidth and network capacity. The use of mmWave for various applications including vehicular communications has been extensively discussed. However, applying mmWave to vehicular communications faces challenges of high mobility nodes and narrow coverage along the mmWave beams. Due to high mobility in dense networks, overlapping beams can cause strong interference which leads to performance degradation. As a remedy, beam switching capability in mmWave can be utilized. Then, frequent beam switching and cell change become inevitable to manage interference, which increase computational and signalling complexity. In order to deal with the complexity in interference control, we develop a new strategy called Multi-Agent Context Learning (MACOL), which utilizes Contextual Bandit to manage interference while allocating mmWave beams to serve vehicles in the network. Our approach demonstrates that by leveraging knowledge of neighbouring beam status, the machine learning agent can identify and avoid potential interfering transmissions to other ongoing transmissions. Furthermore, we show that even under heavy traffic loads, our proposed MACOL strategy is able to maintain low interference levels at around 10%.Conference Object Machine Learning Based Beamwidth Adaptation for mmWave Vehicular Communications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023-12-10) Manic, Setinder; Heng Foh, Chuan; Köse, Abdulkadir; Lee, Haeyoung; Leow, Chee Yen; Chatzimisios, Periklis; Suthaputchakun, Chakkaphong; Foh, Chuan HengThe incorporation of mmWave technology in vehicular networks has unlocked a realm of possibilities, propelling the advancement of autonomous vehicles, enhancing interconnectedness, and facilitating communication for intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Despite these strides in connectivity, challenges such as high path-loss have arisen, impacting existing beam management procedures. This work aims to address this issue by improving beam management techniques, specifically focusing on enhancing the service time between vehicles and base stations through adaptive mmWave beamwidth adjustments, accomplished using a Contextual Multi-Armed Bandit Algorithm. By leveraging various conditions to train the ML agent of the Contextual Multi-Armed Bandit Algorithm, it seeks to learn about vehicle mobility profiles and optimize the usage of different antenna beamwidth settings to maximize seamless connection time. The extensive simulation results showcase the effectiveness of an adaptive beamwidth for mobility profiles, extending the connection time a vehicle experiences with a base station when compared to the existing strategies. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
