Abstract
Reinforcement learning (RL) is applied for dynamic admission control and resource allocation in NextG radio access network slicing. When sharing the spectrum with an incumbent user (that dynamically occupies frequency-time blocks), communication and computational resources are allocated to slicing requests, each with priority (weight), throughput, latency, and computational requirements. RL maximizes the total weight of granted requests over time beyond myopic, greedy, random, and first come, first served solutions. As the state-action space grows, Deep Q-network effectively admits requests and allocates resources as a low-complexity solution that is robust to sensing errors in detecting the incumbent user activity.
