This work advocates the use of deep learning to perform max-min and max-prod power allocation in the downlink of Massive MIMO networks. More precisely, a deep neural network is trained to learn the map between the positions of user equipments (UEs) and the optimal power allocation policies, and then used to predict the power allocation profiles for a new set of UEs’ positions. The use of deep learning significantly improves the complexity-performance trade-off of power allocation, compared to traditional optimization-oriented methods. Particularly, the proposed approach does not require the computation of any statistical average, which would be instead necessary by using standard methods, and is able to guarantee near-optimal performance.

The package contains a simulation environment, based on MATLAB, that allows to produce the data samples that are needed to train the neural network. The max-min and max-prod allocation strategies are simulated with the MR and M-MMSE precoding schemes. This is the code package used to reproduce Figure 7.2 in the monograph:

The package containining the simulation environment, based on KERAS, to train and execute the deep learning power allocation algorithm with the max-min and max-prod power allocation strategies is contained in the 'PYTHON_CODE' folder. To run it, one needs to first generate a data sample and a testing sample by using the MATLAB code (which produces the 'MyDataFile.mat' files), and then run the 'transform_data_maxmin.m' and 'transform_data_maxprod.m' to extract the data required for the python code.
