Abstract
We consider machine learning for intra cell beam handovers in mmWave 5GNR systems by leveraging Channel Charting (CC). We develop a base station centric approach for predicting the Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) of beams. Beam SNRs are predicted based on measured signal at the BS without the need to exchange information with UEs. In an offline training phase, we construct a beam-specific dimensionality reduction of Channel State Information (CSI) to a low-dimensional CC, annotate the CC with beam-wise SNRs and then train SNR predictors for different target beams. In the online phase, we predict target beam SNRs. K-nearest neighbors, Gaussian Process Regression and Neural Network based prediction are considered. Based on SNR difference between the serving and target beams a handover can be decided. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed framework, we perform simulations for a street segment with synthetically generated CSI. SNR prediction accuracy of average root mean square error less than 0.3 dB is achieved.Description
