Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper proposes two reinforcement learning (RL)-based algorithms for millimeter wave (mmWave)-enabled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications toward beyond-5G (B5G). This can be especially useful in ad-hoc communication scenarios within a neighborhood with main-network connectivity problems such as in areas affected by natural disasters. Downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is an efficient protocol that can be utilized by the UAV to improve the overall sum-rate performance of the system. The dynamic selection of suitable hovering spots within the target zone where the UAV needs to be positioned as well as the proper node activation and NOMA power allocation are critical for optimized performance. Multiarmed bandit (MAB) and double deep Q-network (DDQN)-based solutions are proposed to address the joint problem of UAV positioning and node selection and power allocation for data transmission in downlink NOMA systems. To ensure that the proposed RL-based solutions can support high sum-rates, numerical simulations are presented. In addition, exhaustive and random search benchmarks are provided as baselines for the achievable upper and lower sum-rate levels, respectively.
