Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) optimization is an efficient method for adjusting the vertical tilt angle of Base Stations (BSs) antennas in order to optimize Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) network. Reinforcement Learning (RL) provides a powerful framework RET because its self-learning capabilities and adaptivity environmental changes. However, RL agent may execute unsafe actions during course interaction, i.e., resulting undesired network performance degradation. Since reliability services...

We address the problem of Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) optimization using off-policy Contextual Multi-Armed-Bandit (CMAB) techniques. The goal in RET is to control orientation vertical tilt angle antenna optimize Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) representing Quality Service (QoS) perceived by users cellular networks.

Controlling antenna tilts in cellular networks is imperative to reach an efficient trade-off between network coverage and capacity. In this paper, we devise algorithms learning optimal tilt control policies from existing data (in the so-called passive setting) or actively generated by (the active setting). We formalize design of such as a Best Policy Identification (BPI) problem Contextual Linear Multi-Arm Bandits (CL-MAB). An arm represents update; context captures current conditions;...
