Abstract
A reinforcement learning (RL) process is used to allocate UL/DL resources and is also used to offload traffic from a first access point (e.g., macro access point) to a second access point (e.g., a micro access point) when the load on the first access point is too high. The RL process is able to handle the dynamic nature of UL/DL imbalances and is therefore able to maximize usage of resources without compromising quality of service.
