This paper studies fast adaptive beamforming optimization for the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio balancing problem in a multiuser multiple-input single-output downlink system. Existing deep learning based approaches to predict beamforming rely on the assumption that the training and testing channels follow the same distribution which may not hold in practice. As a result, a trained model may lead to performance deterioration when the testing network environment changes. To deal with this task mismatch issue, we propose two offline adaptive algorithms based on deep transfer learning and meta-learning, which are able to achieve fast adaptation with the limited new labelled data when the testing wireless environment changes. Furthermore, we propose an online algorithm to enhance the adaptation capability of the offline meta algorithm in realistic non-stationary environments. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed adaptive algorithms achieve much better performance than the direct deep learning algorithm without adaptation in new environments. The meta-learning algorithm outperforms the deep transfer learning algorithm and achieves near optimal performance. In addition, compared to the offline meta-learning algorithm, the proposed online meta-learning algorithm shows superior adaption performance in changing environments.

Beamforming is an effective means to improve the quality of the received signals in multiuser multiple-input-single-output (MISO) systems. Traditionally, finding the optimal beamforming solution relies on iterative algorithms, which introduces high c omputational delay and is thus not suitable for real-time implementation. In this paper, we propose a deep learning framework for the optimization of downlink beamforming. In particular, the solution is obtained based on convolutional neural networks and exploitation of expert knowledge, such as the uplink-downlink duality and the known structure of optimal solutions. Using this framework, we construct three beamforming neural networks (BNNs) for three typical optimization problems, i.e., the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) balancing problem, the power minimization problem, and the sum rate maximization problem. For the former two problems the BNNs adopt the supervised learning approach, while for the sum rate maximization problem a hybrid method of supervised and unsupervised learning is employed. Simulation results show that the BNNs can achieve near-optimal solutions to the SINR balancing and power minimization problems, and a performance close to that of the weighted minimum mean squared error algorithm for the sum rate maximization problem, while in all cases enjoy significantly reduced computational complexity. In summary, this work paves the way for fast realization of optimal beamforming in multiuser MISO systems.

With the high development of wireless communication techniques, it is widely used in various fields for convenient and efficient data transmission. Different from commonly used assumption of the time-invariant wireless channel, we focus on the resear ch on the time-varying wireless downlink channel to get close to the practical situation. Our objective is to gain the maximum value of sum rate in the time-varying channel under the some constraints about cut-off signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR), transmitted power and beamforming. In order to adapt the rapid changing channel, we abandon the frequently used algorithm convex optimization and deep reinforcement learning algorithms are used in this paper. From the view of the ordinary measures such as power control, interference incoordination and beamforming, continuous changes of measures should be put into consideration while sparse reward problem due to the abortion of episodes as an important bottleneck should not be ignored. Therefore, with the analysis of relevant algorithms, we proposed two algorithms, Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient algorithm (DDPG) and hierarchical DDPG, in our work. As for these two algorithms, in order to solve the discrete output, DDPG is established by combining the Actor-Critic algorithm with Deep Q-learning (DQN), so that it can output the continuous actions without sacrificing the existed advantages brought by DQN and also can improve the performance. Also, to address the challenge of sparse reward, we take advantage of meta policy from the idea of hierarchical theory to divide one agent in DDPG into one meta-controller and one controller as hierarchical DDPG. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed DDPG and hierarchical DDPG performs well from the views of coverage, convergence and sum rate performance.

The ability to walk in new scenarios is a key milestone on the path toward real-world applications of legged robots. In this work, we introduce Meta Strategy Optimization, a meta-learning algorithm for training policies with latent variable inputs th at can quickly adapt to new scenarios with a handful of trials in the target environment. The key idea behind MSO is to expose the same adaptation process, Strategy Optimization (SO), to both the training and testing phases. This allows MSO to effectively learn locomotion skills as well as a latent space that is suitable for fast adaptation. We evaluate our method on a real quadruped robot and demonstrate successful adaptation in various scenarios, including sim-to-real transfer, walking with a weakened motor, or climbing up a slope. Furthermore, we quantitatively analyze the generalization capability of the trained policy in simulated environments. Both real and simulated experiments show that our method outperforms previous methods in adaptation to novel tasks.
Power control in decentralized wireless networks poses a complex stochastic optimization problem when formulated as the maximization of the average sum rate for arbitrary interference graphs. Recent work has introduced data-driven design methods that leverage graph neural network (GNN) to efficiently parametrize the power control policy mapping channel state information (CSI) to the power vector. The specific GNN architecture, known as random edge GNN (REGNN), defines a non-linear graph convolutional architecture whose spatial weights are tied to the channel coefficients, enabling a direct adaption to channel conditions. This paper studies the higher-level problem of enabling fast adaption of the power control policy to time-varying topologies. To this end, we apply first-order meta-learning on data from multiple topologies with the aim of optimizing for a few-shot adaptation to new network configurations.
Accurate downlink channel information is crucial to the beamforming design, but it is difficult to obtain in practice. This paper investigates a deep learning-based optimization approach of the downlink beamforming to maximize the system sum rate, wh en only the uplink channel information is available. Our main contribution is to propose a model-driven learning technique that exploits the structure of the optimal downlink beamforming to design an effective hybrid learning strategy with the aim to maximize the sum rate performance. This is achieved by jointly considering the learning performance of the downlink channel, the power and the sum rate in the training stage. The proposed approach applies to generic cases in which the uplink channel information is available, but its relation to the downlink channel is unknown and does not require an explicit downlink channel estimation. We further extend the developed technique to massive multiple-input multiple-output scenarios and achieve a distributed learning strategy for multicell systems without an inter-cell signalling overhead. Simulation results verify that our proposed method provides the performance close to the state of the art numerical algorithms with perfect downlink channel information and significantly outperforms existing data-driven methods in terms of the sum rate.
