## Abstract (arXiv)

In this paper, we propose a deep learning based approach to design online power control policies for large EH networks, which are often intractable stochastic control problems. In the proposed approach, for a given EH network, the optimal online power control rule is learned by training a deep neural network (DNN), using the solution of offline policy design problem. Under the proposed scheme, in a given time slot, the transmit power is obtained by feeding the current system state to the trained DNN. Our results illustrate that the DNN based online power control scheme outperforms a Markov decision process based policy. In general, the proposed deep learning based approach can be used to find solutions to large intractable stochastic control problems.
