Bayesian optimization of blocklength for URLLC under channel distribution uncertainty
For block fading channels with uncertainty in channel distribution knowledge, we propose and optimize a statistical measure as a way to surely assess reliability in finite-block communications regime. In particular, the confidence level in guaranteeing average block-error rate lower than a specific target is introduced and maximized to find the optimal blocklength, aiming to meet the strict requirements of ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC). In order to compute the confidence level, non-parametric learning algorithms are employed for channel modeling with a limited number of training samples. Bayesian optimization, i.e., the tool for black-box optimization, is applied to solve the problem in the absence of the closed form of the confidence level.
