The paper studies optimal placement of millimeter-wave base stations in a realistic, non-convex campus layout using deep reinforcement learning. It compares four DRL methods—single-agent DQN, multi-agent partitioned DQN, single-agent DDPG, and multi-agent partitioned DDPG—and finds that the multi-agent DDPG approach achieves full coverage, a Jain's fairness index of 0.94, and superior performance in dense scenarios with 400 users. The multi-agent DDPG also converges more efficiently than single-agent methods.

arXiv:2606. 04328v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Future wireless networks demand rapid adaptation to highly heterogeneous environments and dynamic task configurations, necessitating a shift from conventional rule-based and optimization-driven radio resource management (RRM) toward artificial intelligence (AI)-driven RRM.
The paper proposes a CSI‑free hierarchical multi‑agent reinforcement learning framework for controlling reconfigurable reflective surfaces in millimeter‑wave networks. By replacing per‑element channel estimation with user localization data, the system uses a two‑tier neural architecture: a high‑level controller for discrete user‑to‑reflector assignments and low‑level controllers that optimize continuous focal points via MAPPO under a CTDE scheme. Deterministic ray‑tracing tests show RSSI gains of up to 7.79 dB over centralized PPO baselines and robust performance with sub‑meter localization errors for multiple users and reflector arrays.
