Abstract
In real-world vehicular communications, machine learning-based beam selection is challenging under non-stationary distributions of Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) and Line of Sight (LOS) cases. For example, a model newly updated on rush-hour traffic hardly re-adapts to previously encountered regular traffic. To address this, the letter proposes a continual learning approach, named Synaptic Intelligence-based Beam Selection (SIBS), which retains historical knowledge by restricting the change to key parameters during the new training. The experiments on simulated datasets show strong adaptability of SIBS to dynamic environments, where it adapts to the new scenario and notably maintains performance over the encountered scenario.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
