Research on Resource Allocation under Unlicensed Spectrum Using Q-Learning

Abstract

In response to the advent of the 5G era, enhancing throughput and increasing transmission efficiency within limited spectrum resources is an important research topic. In the LTE system, utilizing unlicensed spectrum to assist traditional mobile networks, known as License Assisted Access, has emerged as a viable solution to effectively improve transmission efficiency. However, as the unlicensed spectrum also accommodates other users, such as Wi-Fi for mobile communication, there is a need to address the issue of spectrum resource allocation, aiming to achieve fair transmission among different mobile communication users. This research project aims to explore and compare two approaches: traditional communication algorithms and reinforcement learning method Q-leaning, under the condition of achieving maximum system throughput, in order to determine the differences between the two methods.
