New Joint-Thompson Sampling algorithm enhances communication link adaptation

Researchers have introduced Joint-Thompson Sampling (Joint-TS), a novel algorithm for link adaptation in communication systems. This method models the problem as a multi-armed bandit, where each modulation and coding scheme (MCS) represents an arm. Unlike traditional Thompson Sampling, Joint-TS leverages the ordered nature of MCS success probabilities by employing a multivariate ordered Beta distribution as its prior, thus preserving inherent monotonicity. Simulation results indicate that Joint-TS offers robust and consistent performance across various scenarios, outperforming existing algorithms in specific situations. AI

IMPACT This algorithm could improve the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication systems by optimizing modulation and coding schemes.

    Link Adaptation Using Joint-Thompson Sampling

    arXiv:2607.11075v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The choice of Modulation and Coding (MCS) type for a particular channel condition is made through link adaptation (LA) algorithms that operate at the MAC layer. These algorithms rely on the ACK/NACK statistics and the channel qualit…
