Abstract
A method for associating user equipment with base stations of a cellular network such as a 5G network. An agent receives an observation of its environment and deduces an action therefrom, this action being manifested as an association request of the user to a neighboring base station. This action is chosen according to a strategy of the user seeking the maximum of a function of action value for the observation and several possible actions. Once the actions have been carried out by the various actions, a common reward is provided by the network to the various users, the latter being zero in the case of a collision of association requests and the result of a utility function otherwise. The function of action value for the various possible actions is predicted by a recurrent neural network trained on a set of experiments stored in a local memory.
