针对相关信道设计在线学习通信系统,理论保障误差率持续下降。
Online Optimization for Learning to Communicate over Time-Correlated Channels
- 基于乐观在线镜像下降框架,动态优化解码器与码本
- 在时相关信道下实现平均符号误码率更低的通信性能
- 适用于实际中非独立信道场景的智能通信系统设计
机器学习在通信系统设计中备受关注,因其能应对信道不确定性。现有研究多基于独立同分布(I.I.D.)信道假设,但该条件在现实中罕见。本文摒弃I.I.D.假设,研究时相关信道上的在线优化问题,聚焦两类任务:优化时相关衰落信道的解码器,以及选择时相关加性噪声信道的最优码本。为利用信道的时间相关性,提出两种基于乐观在线镜像下降框架的在线优化算法,并通过推导期望误码率的次线性后悔界,提供理论保障。大量仿真实验表明,所提方法可借助信道相关性显著降低平均符号误码率,与理论结果一致。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Machine learning techniques have garnered great interest in designing communication systems owing to their capacity in tackling with channel uncertainty. To provide theoretical guarantees for learning-based communication systems, some recent works analyze generalization bounds for devised methods based on the assumption of Independently and Identically Distributed (I.I.D.) channels, a condition rarely met in practical scenarios. In this paper, we drop the I.I.D. channel assumption and study an online optimization problem of learning to communicate over time-correlated channels. To address this issue, we further focus on two specific tasks: optimizing channel decoders for time-correlated fading channels and selecting optimal codebooks for time-correlated additive noise channels. For utilizing temporal dependence of considered channels to better learn communication systems, we develop two online optimization algorithms based on the optimistic online mirror descent framework. Furthermore, we provide theoretical guarantees for proposed algorithms via deriving sub-linear regret bound on the expected error probability of learned systems. Extensive simulation experiments have been conducted to validate that our presented approaches can leverage the channel correlation to achieve a lower average symbol error rate compared to baseline methods, consistent with our theoretical findings.
