A wireless network can generate candidate signal configurations for physical transmissions to or from a user equipment (UE) in a radio environment. The generation of candidate signal configurations can be performed using a first neural network that is associated with the UE. These signal configurations can then be evaluated using a second neural network that is associated with the radio environment. The second neural network can be trained using measurements from previous physical transmissions in the radio environment. The trained second neural network generates a reward value that is associated with the candidate signal configurations. The first neural network is then trained using the reward values from the second neural network to produce improved candidate signal configurations. When a signal configuration that produces a suitable reward value is generated, this signal configuration can be used for the physical transmission in the radio environment.
