Abstract:Self‐Organized Networks (SON) are a crucial feature to make 5G more efficient in 3GPP Release 16. 5G SON inherits from LTE self‐configuration, self‐optimization, and self‐healing functions, and also expands to new use cases and relies on a service‐based architecture and data analytics network functions. SON algorithms are, however, not part of the standard. In this article, we thus present a novel reinforcement learning approach for distributed load balancing in heterogeneous networks that use cell range expan… Show more
