Abstract
In this study, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) method was employed to solve the joint optimization problem for user association, resource allocation, and power allocation in heterogeneous networks (HetNets), which is an NP-hard problem. Existing studies have taken various optimization objectives into account. The heterogeneous network-deep-Q- network frame-work (HetDQN) is proposed to solve this type of optimization problem in HetNets. Based on maximum spectral efficiency, we designed a 6- layer deep neural network. The state space, objective function, and reward function are presented. In comparison with the existing solution, HetDQN can achieve a higher spectral efficiency. The simulation results revealed that HetDQN has better performance in term of convergence.
