Abstract

A method and a network agent for providing cell assignment for a wireless device served by a network node. An input vector is created for a set of candidate cells based on measurements by the wireless device and/or by the network node related to performance and signals. A future effect of assigning the wireless device to a candidate cell is estimated for each candidate cell by applying the created input vector to an effect estimation function which may be a Q-learning function. A cell in the set of candidate cells is then determined and assigned for the wireless device, based on the estimated future effects of the candidate cells. The cell that provides the best future effect may be selected for cell assignment.
