Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This work investigates the design of an energy-efficient Deep Q-Network (DQN) implemented at the user device, whose purpose is to optimize its association to multiple access points (AP) in a Beyond 5G (B5G) Sub-6GHz and mmWave integrated
network. To better cope with dynamic mobile environments, we first propose an adaptive epsilon-greedy policy at each user DQN in order to maximize the long-term sum-rate while simultaneously satisfying the Quality of Service (QoS) constraints of different applications. We then provide the detailed analysis of the energy consumed by each user device, in particular the power for DQN processing and for data movement. The trade-off between network performance in terms of sum-rate and QoS outage probability, and energy consumption at the user side is evaluated. Numerical results not only show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to baseline, but also reveal the tremendous energy costs required by the default user DQN, underlining the importance of such energy-efficiency aware protocol design.
