This research investigates Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) for interference management in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based 3D networks, demonstrating its ability to mitigate interference effectively without requiring global Channel State Information (CSI). The DRL approach achieved network sum-rates and coverage comparable to brute-force methods that use full CSI, significantly surpassing interference-oblivious techniques.

Key insights

• Deep Reinforcement Learning can effectively infer and mitigate interference in dynamic 3D networks using only local Channel State Information (CSI) or indirect measurements, overcoming a key practical limitation of conventional methods.
• DRL provides a robust and adaptable solution for complex and dynamic multi-cell 3D networks, learning optimal policies to manage interference under varying channel conditions and mobility without explicit environmental models.
• The DRL framework can be adapted to handle challenges such as large state-action spaces (via Wolpertinger-based learning) and continuous control (via Actor-Critic methods), making it suitable for practical deployment scenarios.
