SUMMARY:RADS Seminar: Deep Q-Networks Assisted Pre-connect Handover Management for 5G Networks
DESCRIPTION:Chung-Horng Lung will be giving an online seminar titled “Deep Q-Networks Assisted Pre-connect Handover Management for 5G Networks.”



Seminar Abstract:



Handover management is crucial for wireless networks and is more challenging for Fifth Generation (5G) networks due to strict requirements in quality of service (QoS), such as ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC) services. This talk presents an extension of the pre-connect  handover (PHO) mechanism for user equipment (UE) using Deep Q-Networks (DQN) to support challenging handover management requirements in 5G networks. The proposed DQN-assisted PHO management facilitates the sequential decision-making problem of the target cell selection based on the Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) values and RSRQ change rates of all the candidate cells. The performance of the DQN-assisted PHO management solutions has been evaluated with various configurations using Network Simulator 3 (NS-3) and NS3-Gym. The experimental results demonstrate the DQN-assisted PHO technique can effectively accomplish the optimal target cell selection to maximize the success rate of PHO.
