The rapid evolution of 5G networks requires new solutions to manage user mobility, changing environments, and high data needs. This paper introduces a reinforcement learning (RL) beam selection framework for 5G millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks to improve signal quality and network performance. Using the Q-learning algorithm, the system selects optimal beam directions and handles handovers in real time based on Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR), user mobility, and positional feedback. The framework was trained and tested in a MATLAB-based simulated 5G mmWave environment that included realistic conditions like blockage and movement. Simulation results indicate an 18% improvement in SINR and a 25% reduction in handover latency when compared to static beam selection methods. These results show the effectiveness and scalability of RL-based beam management for future wireless networks.

摘要

The rapid evolution of 5G networks requires new solutions to manage user mobility, changing environments, and high data needs. This paper introduces a reinforcement learning (RL) beam selection framework for 5G millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks to improve signal quality and network performance. Using the Q-learning algorithm, the system selects optimal beam directions and handles handovers in real time based on Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR), user mobility, and positional feedback. The framework was trained and tested in a MATLAB-based simulated 5G mmWave environment that included realistic conditions like blockage and movement. Simulation results indicate an 18% improvement in SINR and a 25% reduction in handover latency when compared to static beam selection methods. These results show the effectiveness and scalability of RL-based beam management for future wireless networks.
