  • 摘要: 随着移动用户通信需求的爆发式增长,智慧校园等大规模、用户空间分布高度异构的复杂场景对无线网络规划的容量与覆盖性能提出了严峻挑战. 在此类场景中,用户分布高度集中且空间分布差异显著,建筑环境复杂多样,使得基站选址与天线工程参数调节在信号覆盖与干扰管理方面呈现出强耦合与多尺度特性,亟需在全局视角下开展协同优化. 然而,传统规划方法、启发式算法与深度学习算法在面对超大规模、高维决策空间时,普遍存在探索效率低下、收敛不稳定等问题,难以有效解决基站选址与工程参数的联合优化难题. 针对上述挑战,本文提出一种条件扩散模型赋能的分层强化学习(Conditional diffusion model-enabled hierarchical reinforcement learning,HRL-DiffNet)算法. 首先,该算法引入条件扩散模型学习历史优秀基站部署策略并生成优质基站部署的候选方案,作为强化学习的先验以缩小探索空间;在此基础上构建分层强化学习,由上层策略负责基站部署,下层策略对下倾角等工参进行精细调节,实现多尺度决策解耦与协同优化;同时设计融合卷积神经网络与图卷积网络对复杂拓扑及环境特征进行表征,为扩散模型提供条件约束,并作为强化学习的统一状态输入,建立拓扑结构表征、条件扩散模型与优化决策之间的端到端耦合机制. 仿真结果表明,在大规模智慧校园网络规划任务中,HRL-DiffNet相较于现有主流方法在覆盖率与吞吐量等关键性能指标上均取得显著提升,其中网络覆盖率达到99.1%,平均吞吐量达到1.766 Mbps,验证了所提方法在复杂场景下开展精细化网络规划的有效性.

     

    Abstract: With the explosive growth in mobile communication demands, large-scale complex scenarios, such as smart campuses with highly heterogeneous user spatial distributions, pose severe challenges to the capacity and coverage performance of wireless network planning. In such environments, user distribution is highly concentrated, spatially differentiated, and embedded in complex and diverse building environments. Consequently, base station (BS) site selection and antenna parameter configuration exhibit strong coupling and multiscale characteristics in signal coverage and interference management, which necessitate coordinated optimization from a global perspective. However, conventional planning methods, heuristic algorithms, and deep learning methods often suffer from inefficient exploration and unstable convergence in large-scale high-dimensional decision spaces, making it difficult to effectively address the joint optimization of BS locations and engineering parameters. To address these challenges, this study proposes a conditional diffusion model-enabled hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL-DiffNet) framework. In particular, a conditional diffusion model learns high-quality deployment distributions to generate candidates that serve as structured priors to shrink the reinforcement learning (RL) exploration space. Unlike conventional RL methods that rely on random exploration, the diffusion model utilizes historical optimization experience to capture the implicit distribution characteristics of effective BS deployment solutions. By considering environmental states as conditional inputs, the model generates deployments with higher optimization potential, providing effective initialization guidance for the policy, and reducing unnecessary exploration in the large discrete decision space. A hierarchical reinforcement learning architecture is developed, where a high-level policy is responsible for BS site selection, whereas a low-level policy performs fine-grained optimization of antenna parameters, such as downtilt angles. Through this hierarchical RL architecture, the strong coupling between deployment planning and parameter configuration is effectively alleviated, allowing policies to achieve coordinated optimization with improved convergence efficiency. In addition, a hybrid neural architecture that integrates convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and graph convolutional networks (GCNs) is designed to model complex topological dependencies and environmental features, providing conditional constraints for the diffusion model and serving as a unified state representation for reinforcement learning. A CNN is utilized to extract spatial characteristics from environmental information, whereas a GCN captures the relationships among BSs, users, and the surrounding network topology. The combination of these two representations enables the proposed framework to perceive both spatial distribution patterns and topological correlations comprehensively in complex wireless environments. This establishes an end-to-end coupled framework that jointly integrates topological representation, conditional diffusion-based generation, and optimization-driven decision-making. Extensive simulations are conducted in large-scale smart campus network planning scenarios to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed HRL-DiffNet framework. The proposed method is compared with representative optimization approaches, including conventional RL algorithms and existing intelligent optimization methods. The experimental results demonstrate that HRL-DiffNet achieves superior performance in terms of network coverage, throughput improvement, and optimization stability. Specifically, the proposed approach achieves a network coverage rate of 99.1% and an average throughput of 1.766 Mbps, demonstrating its effectiveness for large-scale deployment optimization. Furthermore, the results validate the effectiveness of the hierarchical decision mechanism in handling the coupled optimization of BS deployment and antenna configuration in large-scale heterogeneous scenarios.
