Integrating Reinforcement Learning into M/M/1/K Retry Queueing Models for 6G Applications.

The ever-growing demand for sustainable, efficient, and fair allocation in the next generation of wireless network applications is a serious challenge, especially in the context of high-speed communication networks that operate on Terahertz frequencies. This research work presents a novel approach to enhance queue management in 6G networks by integrating reinforcement learning, specifically Deep Q-Networks (DQN). We introduce an intelligent 6G Retrial Queueing System (RQS) that dynamically adjusts to varying traffic conditions, minimizes delays, reduces energy consumption, and guarantees equitable access to network resources. The system's performance is examined under extensive simulations, taking into account multiple arrival rates, queue sizes, and reward scaling factors. The results show that the integration of RL in the 6G-RQS model successfully enhances queue management while maintaining the high performance of the system, and this is by increasing the number of mobile terminals served, even under different and higher traffic demands. Furthermore, singular value decomposition analysis reveals clusters and structured patterns, indicating the effective learning process and adaptation performed by the agent. Our research findings demonstrate that RL-based queue management is a promising solution for overcoming the challenges that 6G suffers from, particularly in the context of high-speed communication networks.
