用注意力机制学习正交频分复用信道估计的最优线性滤波器,兼顾精度与效率。

Learning MMSE Filters for OFDM Channel Estimation: Attention Transformer Gains at Linear Inference

  • 基于注意力变换器学习线性MMSE滤波器,推理时仅需一次矩阵乘法。
  • 在不同信噪比下性能优于传统方法,复杂度显著降低。
  • 支持动态调整滤波器秩,适合资源受限设备部署。

在正交频分复用(OFDM)系统中,精确的信道估计至关重要。传统的基于信号处理的方法(如线性最小均方误差,LMMSE)通常需要难以获取的二阶统计信息。近年来,深度神经网络(DNN)方法被提出以解决该问题,但常伴随高推理复杂度。本文提出一种基于模型的DNN框架——注意力辅助的MMSE(A-MMSE),通过注意力变换器学习线性MMSE滤波器。训练完成后,A-MMSE仅通过单次线性运算完成信道估计,避免推理阶段的非线性激活,从而降低计算开销。为提升学习效率,我们设计了双阶段注意力编码器,捕捉OFDM信道在频域和时域的相关结构。此外,引入秩自适应扩展,在部署时动态调整滤波器秩,实现资源受限接收机下的高效运行。数值仿真表明,A-MMSE在广泛信噪比(SNR)条件下持续优于基线方法。特别地,A-MMSE及其秩自适应变体提供了更优的性能-复杂度权衡。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), accurate channel estimation is crucial. Classical signal processing-based approaches, such as linear minimum mean-squared error (LMMSE) estimation, often require second-order statistics that are difficult to obtain in practice. Recent deep neural network (DNN)-based methods have been introduced to address this, but they often suffer from high inference complexity. This paper proposes an Attention-aided MMSE (A-MMSE), a model-based DNN framework that learns the linear MMSE filter via the Attention Transformer. Once trained, the A-MMSE performs channel estimation through a single linear operation, eliminating nonlinear activations during inference and thus reducing computational complexity. To improve the learning efficiency of the A-MMSE, we develop a two-stage Attention encoder that captures the frequency and temporal correlation structure of OFDM channels. We also introduce a rank-adaptive extension that adjusts the filter rank at deployment time, enabling efficient operation under resource-constrained receivers. Numerical simulations show that A-MMSE consistently outperforms baseline methods across a wide range of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. In particular, the A-MMSE and its rank-adaptive extension provide an improved performance-complexity trade-off.
