We address the problem of distributed resource allocation in wireless systems in the presence of dynamic user traffic and coupling resulting from interference. We propose a Reinforcement Learning (RL) framework based on a separation of concerns between frequency reuse for interference mitigation and opportunistic user scheduling. In particular we explore a setting where a stochastic game is set up among base stations to learn frequency reuse patterns and solved using multi-agent RL given an underlying choice for user scheduling. We establish the existence and convergence to a Nash equilibrium of the proposed setting. The performance of our framework and theoretical findings are evaluated through simulation and compared to more aggressive oracle-aided centralized baselines. The resulting frequency reuse policy is shown to achieve 5–25% improvements in capacity and associated delay performance over a centralized interference aware max weight scheduling policy across BSs. Furthermore, a reduced physical resource utilization on the order of 9–34% leads to a higher energy efficiency as compared to the centralized benchmark.
