Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to:
use a machine learning algorithm to select an antenna panel from a plurality of antenna panels;
determine a first long-term reward value associated with the selected antenna panel based at least partly on one or more first signals received on the selected antenna panel, wherein the first long-term reward value is an average or a sum of consecutive immediate reward values over a first time window, wherein the consecutive immediate reward values are based at least partly on a plurality of key performance indicators comprising at least a serving cell quality metric and a beam failure rate;
transmit or receive a second signal via the selected antenna panel, if the first long-term reward value exceeds one or more second long-term reward values associated with at least a subset of the plurality of antenna panels.
