Abstract
We present a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework for joint user scheduling and power control in massive MIMO networks. The proposed scheduler learns to allocate resources across users in real time, adapting to channel dynamics and traffic demands while satisfying fairness and quality-of-service constraints. Evaluations on realistic channel models demonstrate substantial throughput and fairness improvements over conventional schedulers.

I work at the intersection of computer systems and wireless networking — building programmable, intelligent infrastructure for 5G/6G and Open RAN. A common thread across my projects is algorithm and system design across FPGA, GPU, and CPU — spanning real-time massive MIMO baseband on commodity servers, many-antenna hardware platforms, and learning-driven schedulers. I am currently focused on virtualized Open RAN systems and ML-enabled RAN software design.
