Machine Learning Based User Retention and Channel Allocation: 6G Aspect

Abstract

Future 6G wireless network will be focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI) based network selection, resource allocation and user satisfaction. A user has multiple options to switch one service provider to another service provider in case of network quality degradation. The new schemes/policies are required to retain their valuable users. This paper proposed supervised machine learning methods such as Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), etc., to classify and identify the loyal user. The decision tree algorithm has been identified as the best classification technique in order to identify the type of user (loyal, normal, and recent). A threshold-based algorithm is proposed to allocate the resource, particularly to loyal users. The performance of the algorithm is measured in terms of average waiting time (AWT), and the number of particular types of user’s services dropped. Priority is given to the loyal user when only 10% network resource is available. The simulation environment is created by SimPy implemented in Python. The result of the simulation run represents that no loyal user’ services have been interrupted during communication. Loyal users achieved less AWT as 32.51s compare to the normal user and recent user.
