Dynamic resource allocation in 5G networks using hybrid RL-CNN model for optimized latency and quality of service

The rapid deployment of 5G networks necessitates innovative solutions for efficient and dynamic resource allocation. Current strategies, although effective to some extent, lack real-time adaptability and scalability in complex, dynamically-changing environments. This paper introduces the Dynamic Resource Allocator using RL-CNN (DRARLCNN), a novel machine learning model addressing these shortcomings. By merging Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for feature extraction and Reinforcement Learning (RL) for decision-making, DRARLCNN optimizes resource allocation, minimizing latency and maximizing Quality of Service (QoS). Utilizing a state-of-the-art "5G Resource Allocation Dataset", the research employs Python, TensorFlow, and OpenAI Gym to implement and test the model in a simulated 5 G environment. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of DRARLCNN, showcasing an impressive R2 score of 0.517, MSE of 0.035, and RMSE of 0.188, surpassing existing methods in allocation efficiency and latency. The DRARLCNN model not only outperforms existing methods in allocation efficiency and latency but also sets a new benchmark for future research in dynamic 5G resource allocation. Through its innovative approach and promising results, DRARLCNN opens avenues for further advancements in optimizing resource allocation within dynamic 5G networks.
