Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Movable Antenna-aided Cell-Free Massive MIMO Systems

arXiv:2610.08387v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The inherent non-convex minimum-separation constraints introduced by movable antennas present a formidable challenge to the joint optimization of antenna positions and transmission strategies, rendering conventional methods computationally infeasible, particularly in large-scale cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). In this work, we propose the graph-based learning individual intrinsic reward heterogeneous-agent proximal policy optimization (GLIIR-HAPPO) algorithm, a novel heterogeneous multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) framework that fundamentally overcomes this impasse by systematically decomposing the original coupled optimization into coordinated subproblems. To ensure tractability, we embed the non-convex geometric constraints into a penalty-augmented reward structure and develop a specialized geometric solver that enables the positioning agents to efficiently navigate the high-dimensional action space. Specifically, we propose an architecture featuring a dynamic-interaction graph critic for adaptive cross-role coordination, together with role-conditioned federated distillation that synchronizes same-role policies through compact actor-output statistics. Beyond architectural design, we establish a rigorous theoretical analysis that derives monotonic performance improvement bounds and establishes convergence guarantees for the proposed bi-level optimization. Numerical simulations demonstrate that our framework yields significant sum-rate improvements over state-of-the-art MARL schemes. Moreover, the performance of our advanced architecture closely approaches its fully centralized counterpart, while drastically reducing communication overhead.
