The resource optimization of ultra-dense networks (UDNs) is critical to meet the huge demand of users for wireless data traffic. But the mainstream optimization algorithms have many problems, such as the poor optimization effect, and high computing load. This paper puts forward a wireless resource allocation algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL), which aims to maximize the total throughput of the entire network and transform the resource allocation problem into a deep Q-learning process. To effectively allocate resources in UDNs, the DRL algorithm was introduced to improve the allocation efficiency of wireless resources; the authors adopted the resource allocation strategy of the deep Q-network (DQN), and employed empirical repetition and target network to overcome the instability and divergence of the results caused by the previous network state, and to solve the overestimation of the Q value. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can maximize the total throughput of the network, while making the network more energy-efficient and stable. Thus, it is very meaningful to introduce the DRL to the research of UDN resource allocation.

In this paper, a low-complexity multi-cell resource allocation algorithm with a near-optimal system throughput is proposed to resolve the conflict between the high system throughput and low complexity of indoor visible light communication ultra-dense networks (VLC-UDNs). First, by establishing the optimal model of the resource allocation problem in each cell, we concluded that the problem is a convex optimization problem. After this, the analytic formula of the normalized scaling factor of each terminal for resource allocation is derived after reasonable approximate treatment. The resource allocation algorithm is subsequently proposed. Finally, the complexity analysis shows that the proposed algorithm has polynomial complexity, which is lower than the classical optimal inter-point method. The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves a improvement of 57% in performance in terms of the average system throughput and improvement of 67% in performance in terms of the quality of service (QoS) guarantee against the required data rate proportion allocation (RDR-PA) method.

The high altitude platform station (HAPS) system is an essential component of the air-based network. It can shorten transmission delay and make a better user experience compared with satellite networks, and it can also be easily deployed and cover a larger area compared with international mobile telecommunications (IMT). In order to meet the needs of users with asymmetric and random data flow, the spectrum sharing and dynamic time division duplexing (TDD) mode are used in HAPS-IMT heterogeneous network. However, the cross-link interference brought by TDD mode will lead to the degradation of system performance. In this paper, a resource allocation algorithm based on power control and dynamic transmission protocol configuration is proposed. Firstly, a specific timeslot, “low power almost-bank subframe (LP-ABS)”, is introduced into the frame structure of the HAPS physical layer. The transmission protocol designing could mitigate inter-layer interference efficiently by power control in “LP-ABS”. Secondly, the utilization function is adopted for assessing the system performance, which gives attention to both diversified requirements on the quality of services (QoS) and the throughput of the HAPS-IMT system. Simulation results show that power control and resource allocation technologies proposed in this paper can effectively improve system performance and user satisfaction.
