Abstract
Due to the limited number of radio frequency (RF) chains in millimeter wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) receivers using analog beamforming/hybrid beamforming, there is a restriction in scheduling the number of users in each transmission time interval. Therefore, fast and low-complexity user scheduling methods based on the instantaneous channel state information (CSI) are needed. In this paper, we propose novel user scheduling methods based on deep learning (DL) to reduce the size of the search space by using the learning capability of a deep neural network (DNN). We formulate the user scheduling combinatorial optimization problem as a regression problem followed by a user separation procedure through decision boundaries that are learned by a trained DNN. The decision boundaries are used to separate the users into two subsets. Then, one of the subsets is selected to be searched to find the users that maximize the sum-rate capacity. The proposed method can achieve a very low outage probability with a few number of searches. In order to achieve ergodic capacity with lower computation complexity, the proposed method is employed in combination with the genetic algorithm (GA) algorithm to take advantage of intelligent initial population selection. Our simulation results show that the proposed user scheduling methods can offer remarkably low complexity.
