User Association and Load Balancing for Massive MIMO through Deep Learning
This work investigates the use of deep learning to perform user cell
association for sum-rate maximization in Massive MIMO networks. It is shown how
a deep neural network can be trained to approach the optimal association rule
with a much more limited computational complexity, thus enabling to update the
association rule in real-time, on the basis of the mobility patterns of users.
In particular, the proposed neural network design requires as input only the
users' geographical positions. Numerical results show that it guarantees the
same performance of traditional optimization-oriented methods
