FIRST NETWORK NODE, THIRD NETWORK NODE, AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREBY, FOR HANDLING A PERFORMANCE OF A RADIO ACCESS NETWORK

Abstract:

A method performed by a first network node operating in a communications network is disclosed. The method is for handling a performance of a radio access network (RAN) including one or more radio network nodes. The first network node determines a configuration of one or more parameters in the RAN based on one or more machine-implemented reinforcement learning (RL) procedures to optimize the performance of the RAN based on the one or more parameters. The RL procedures are further based on at least one of: i) one or more physical characteristics of a deployment of the RAN, ii) one or more radio characteristics of the RAN, and iii) a location of users or traffic load in the RAN. The first network node then initiates providing one or more indicators of the determined configuration to a second network node.
