Based on the traditional optimization solutions, generating training dataset for scenarios with perfect CSI is not computationally demanding, compared to scenarios with imperfect CSI. Thus, a transfer learning-based approach can be exploited to transfer the DNN model trained for the perfect CSI scenarios to the imperfect CSI scenarios. We also consider the issue of defining the similarity between two types of resource allocation tasks. For this, we first determine the value of outage probability for which two resource allocation tasks are same, that is, for which our numerical results illustrate the minimal need of relearning from the transferred DNN model. For other values of outage probability, there is a mismatch between the two tasks and our results illustrate a more efficient relearning of the transferred DNN model. Our results show that the learning dataset required for relearning of the transferred DNN model is significantly smaller than the required training dataset for a DNN model without transfer learning.}, year = {2022}, journal = {IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)}, publisher = {IEEE}, note = {This research work was carried out at University of Agder with funding from the FRIPRO TOPPFORSK WISECART grant 250910/F20, and completed after the SIGIPRO Department was created.}, }
