Abstract: A method may include receiving, at a reinforcement learning load balancer, a load metric related to available resources of a carrier. The method may also include calculating, based on the load metric, an update to carrier assignment parameters for a user. The method may further include calculating, based on the load metric, an update to uplink/downlink split proportions and resource pool split proportions. In addition, the method may include predicting an impact of the update to the carrier assignment parameters, the update to the uplink/downlink split proportions, and the update to the resource pool split proportions to the load metric. Further, the method may include communicating the update to carrier assignment parameters, the update to uplink/downlink split proportions, and the update to resource pool split proportions to one or more radio resource managers of corresponding one or more radio access technologies for application to a communication network.

Abstract: Inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) load balancing under multi-carrier dynamic spectrum sharing (SS) context is provided. One method may include splitting shared radio-frequency resources into orthogonal resource pool shares. The method may include receiving a load metric for each of a plurality of radio access technologies. The method may include assigning, based on the load metric, one of the resource pool shares to each of the plurality of radio access technologies. In addition, the method may include dynamically adjusting a proportion of the assigned resource pool shares based on the load metric of each of the plurality of radio access technologies at corresponding carriers. The method may include assigning a primary carrier to a user equipment based on the load metric, the resource pool share, a coverage of the carriers' physical channels, and a type of multi-carrier operation for each of the plurality of radio access technologies.
