RT Conference Proceedings T1 Demo: vrAIn proof-of-concept: a deep learning approach for virtualized RAN resource control A1 Ayala Romero, José A. A1 Garcia Saavedra, Andres A1 Gramaglia, Marco A1 Costa-Pérez, Xavier A1 Banchs Roca, Albert A1 Alcaraz, Juan J. AB While the application of the NFV paradigm into the network is proceeding full steam ahead, there is still one last milestone to be achieved in this context: the virtualization of the radio access network (vRAN). Due to the very complex dependency between the radio conditions and the computing resources needed to provide the baseband processing functionality, attaining an efficient resource control is particularly challenging. In this demonstration, we will showcase vrAIn, a vRAN dynamic resource controller that employs deep reinforcement learning to perform resource assignment decisions. vrAIn, which is implemented using an open-source LTE stack over a Linux platform, can achieve substantial savings in the used CPU resources while maintaining the target QoS for the attached terminals and maximizing throughput when there is a deficit of computational capacity.
