Abstract

In this letter, to improve data rate over wireless communication channels, we propose a deep Q network (DQN)-based adaptive modulation scheme by using Markov decision process (MDP) model. The proposed algorithm makes the reinforcement learning agent to select rate region boundaries as the states, which divide signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) range into rate regions. The simulation results show that spectral efficiency can be improved on the average by 0.5395 bps/Hz in wide SNR range.
