Adjusting alignment for microwave transmissions based on an RL model

An alignment adjuster for adjusting alignment for microwave transmissions from a microwave transmitter to a microwave receiver based on a reinforcement learning (RL) model, the alignment adjuster comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory wherein the alignment adjuster is configured to:
• obtain state space comprising external state space and internal state space, the external state space comprising at least one value of a parameter related to environmental conditions at the microwave transmitter or microwave receiver, and the internal state space comprising at least one value of a parameter related to alignment of the microwave transmitter;
• determine, based on the RL model and the state space, an action in an action space, the action space comprising actions to adjust alignment of the microwave transmitter;
• obtain a measurement of path loss for a transmission from the microwave transmitter to the microwave receiver;
• determine a reward value based on the path loss, wherein an increase in path loss results in a reduced reward value;
• and
• adjust the RL model based on the obtained state space, the determined action and the determined reward value.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program for adjusting alignment for microwave transmissions from a microwave transmitter to a microwave receiver based on a reinforcement learning (RL) model, the computer program comprising computer program code which, when run on an alignment adjuster, causes the alignment adjuster to:

• obtain state space comprising external state space and internal state space, the external state space comprising at least one value of a parameter related to environmental conditions at the microwave transmitter or microwave receiver, and the internal state space comprising at least one value of a parameter related to alignment of the microwave transmitter;
• determine, based on the RL model and the state space, an action in an action space, the action space comprising actions to adjust alignment of the microwave transmitter;
• obtain a measurement of path loss for a transmission from the microwave transmitter to the microwave receiver;
• determine a reward value based on the path loss, wherein an increase in path loss results in a reduced reward value;
• and
• adjust the RL model based on the obtained state space, the determined action and the determined reward value.
