1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The directional antenna combined with beamforming is one of the attractive solutions to accommodate high data rate applications in 5G vehicle communications. However, the directional nature of beamforming requires beam alignment between the transmitter and the receiver, which incurs significant signaling overhead. Hence, we need to find the optimal parameters for directional beamforming, i.e., the antenna beamwidth and beam alignment interval, that maximize the throughput, taking the beam alignment overhead into consideration. In this paper, we propose a reinforcement learning (RL)-based beamforming scheme in a vehicle-to-infrastructure system, where we jointly determine the antenna beamwidth and the beam alignment interval, taking into account the past and future rewards. The simulation results show that the proposed RL-based joint beamforming scheme outperforms conventional beamforming schemes in terms of the average throughput and the average link stability ratio.
