Dynamic Channel Allocation Using Reinforcement Learning Algorithm for Multiple Input Multiple Output Systems

In recent years, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output systems (MIMO) play a crucial role in modern wireless networks by enhancing spectral efficiency and data rates. Traditional static, heuristic-based allocation methods struggled to adapt to real-time variations, handling high-dimensional state spaces, minimizing interference, and ensuring fairness in channel allocation. However, decision-making in dynamic environments requires intelligent and scalable approach that enables real-time decision-making by efficiently learning and adapting to changing network conditions. To overcome these issues. This research proposed Deep Q-Network with Prioritized Experience Replay (DQN-PER) for dynamic channel allocation for MIMO Systems. DQN-PER prioritizes high-value learning experiences and while also improving training efficiency and convergence speed. PER prioritizes important experiences based on Temporal-Difference (TD) error by allowing the model to focus on more informative transitions, which speeds up learning and improves adaptability. Simulation results demonstrate enhanced spectral efficiency, reduced packet loss, and improved Quality of Service (QoS) in dynamic wireless environments. These findings establish DQN-PER as a promising solution for intelligent and adaptive MIMO resource allocation. The proposed method achieved better results in terms of a packet drop rate 0.04 compared to existing method Advantage Actor-Critic (A2C).
