Optimizing UAV Location for Deployment in Cell-Free Massive MIMO Networks Using a Soft Actor-Critic Reinforcement Learning by Okello Kenneth, Elijah Mwangi, Dominic Bernard Onyango Konditi

“…While UAVs offer reliable connectivity in such challenging scenarios, integrating them with Cell-Free Massive MIMO (CF-mMIMO) networks presents severe issues in optimal deployment and coverage efficiency. In addressing these issues, we propose a deployment technique using Soft Actor-Critic (SAC), a deep reinforcement learning method, to autonomously determine the optimal placement of the UAV within a given pre-defined coverage area, thereby maximizing channel capacity and throughput. …”
