提出6G无线定位基础模型,无需大量标注数据即可跨场景通用
Large Wireless Localization Model (LWLM): A Foundation Model for Positioning in 6G Networks
- 基于自监督学习融合三种任务,从多角度捕捉无线信道语义
- 在多种定位任务中较无预训练模型提升26%至87.5%
- 适合缺乏标注数据或需跨基站配置部署的场景
高精度、鲁棒的定位是5G和6G应用(如自动驾驶、扩展现实和智能制造)的关键支撑。尽管数据驱动方法展现潜力,现有模型通常依赖大量标注数据,且难以泛化到不同部署场景和无线配置。为此,我们提出面向无线定位的基础模型Large Wireless Localization Model (LWLM)。基于信息瓶颈理论分析不同自监督学习(SSL)任务如何获取通用与特定语义特征,我们设计了预训练方法:联合优化三个互补目标——空间-频率掩码信道建模(SF-MCM)、域变换不变性(DTI)和位置无关对比学习(PICL),从多视角捕获无线信道本质语义。进一步设计轻量解码器以支持时间到达估计(ToA)、到达角估计(AoA)、单基站(BS)定位及多基站定位等下游任务。实验表明,LWLM在所有定位任务中均显著优于基于模型和监督学习的基线方法,尤其在标签受限微调和未见基站配置下仍保持强泛化能力,验证其作为无线定位基础模型的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate and robust localization is a critical enabler for emerging 5G and 6G applications, including autonomous driving, extended reality (XR), and smart manufacturing. While data-driven approaches have shown promise, most existing models require large amounts of labeled data and struggle to generalize across deployment scenarios and wireless configurations. To address these limitations, we propose a foundation-model-based solution tailored for wireless localization. We first analyze how different self-supervised learning (SSL) tasks acquire general-purpose and task-specific semantic features based on information bottleneck (IB) theory. Building on this foundation, we design a pretraining methodology for the proposed Large Wireless Localization Model (LWLM). Specifically, we propose an SSL framework that jointly optimizes three complementary objectives: (i) spatial-frequency masked channel modeling (SF-MCM), (ii) domain-transformation invariance (DTI), and (iii) position-invariant contrastive learning (PICL). These objectives jointly capture the underlying semantics of wireless channel from multiple perspectives. We further design lightweight decoders for key downstream tasks, including time-of-arrival (ToA) estimation, angle-of-arrival (AoA) estimation, single base station (BS) localization, and multiple BS localization. Comprehensive experimental results confirm that LWLM consistently surpasses both model-based and supervised learning baselines across all localization tasks. In particular, LWLM achieves 26.0%--87.5% improvement over transformer models without pretraining, and exhibits strong generalization under label-limited fine-tuning and unseen BS configurations, confirming its potential as a foundation model for wireless localization.
