Abstract

A method and system for selecting a symbol detector are herein provided. A method includes extracting a first set of features for a k-th resource element (RE), where k is an integer greater than one, extracting a second set of features from a first RE to a (k−1)th RE, and selecting a symbol detector for the k-th RE using a reinforcement learning (RL) neural network based on the extracted first set of features and the extracted second set of features.

Claims (28)

1. A method for selecting a symbol detector, comprising:

extracting a first set of features for a k-th resource element (RE), where k is an integer greater than one;

extracting a second set of features from a first RE to a (k−1)th RE; and

selecting a symbol detector for the k-th RE using a reinforcement learning (RL) neural network based on the extracted first set of features and the extracted second set of features.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of features are based on a channel matrix for the k-th RE.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second set of features are based on accumulated log likelihood ratios (LLR).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second set of features include a normalized location, absolute values of log likelihood ratio (LLR) distributions or soft symbol distribution.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RL neural network includes a multi-layer perceptron (MLP).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RL neural network generates a complexity score corresponding to a complexity of the symbol detector.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the symbol detector is selected based on the generated complexity score.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RL neural network generates a decoding penalty indicating whether decoding will be successful.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the decoding penalty is based on a Lagrange multiplier penalty parameter.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RL neural network is trained using a deep Q-network (DQN).

11. A system for selecting a symbol detector, comprising:

a memory; and

a processor configured to:

extract a first set of features for a k-th resource element (RE), where k is an integer greater than one;

extract a second set of features from a first RE to a (k−1)th RE; and

select a symbol detector for the k-th RE using a reinforcement learning (RL) neural network based on the extracted first set of features and the extracted second set of features.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first set of features are based on a channel matrix for the k-th RE.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the second set of features are based on accumulated log likelihood rations (LLR).

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the second set of features include a normalized location, absolute values of log likelihood ratio (LLR) distributions or soft symbol distribution.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the RL neural network includes a multi-layer perceptron (MLP).

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the RL neural network generates a complexity score corresponding to a complexity of the symbol detector.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the symbol detector is selected based on the generated complexity score.

18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the RL neural network generates a decoding penalty indicating whether decoding will be successful.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the decoding penalty is based on a Lagrange multiplier penalty parameter.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the RL neural network is trained using a deep Q-network (DQN).
