Digital Twin-Assisted Explainable AI for Robust Beam Prediction in mmWave MIMO Systems

  • 通过数字孪生生成真实环境数据,减少70%真实采集需求。
  • 结合SHAP与DkNN,降低62%波束训练开销,提升异常检测能力8.5倍。
  • 适合关注6G通信鲁棒性与可解释性的研究人员或工程师。

面向6G时代的AI原生愿景,可解释性与鲁棒性对构建毫米波(mmWave)系统信任至关重要。高效波束对齐对初始接入至关重要,但深度学习(DL)方案面临数据收集开销高、硬件约束、缺乏可解释性及易受对抗攻击等问题。本文提出一种针对毫米波多输入多输出(MIMO)系统的鲁棒且可解释的深度学习波束对齐引擎(BAE)。BAE利用宽波束的接收信号强度指示(RSSI)测量预测最优窄波束,降低全扫描开销。为克服真实世界数据采集难题,本工作采用特定站点数字孪生(DT)生成高度接近真实环境的合成信道数据。提出基于迁移学习的模型精炼方法,仅需少量真实数据即可微调预训练模型,有效弥合数字副本与真实环境间的差异。为降低波束训练开销并增强透明度,框架采用深度Shapley加法解释(SHAP)按重要性排序输入特征,优先关注关键空间方向,减少波束扫描。同时引入深度k近邻(DkNN)算法,提供可信度度量以检测分布外输入,确保决策鲁棒且透明。实验结果表明,该框架将真实世界数据需求减少70%,波束训练开销降低62%,异常检测鲁棒性提升达8.5倍,实现接近最优频谱效率,并相比传统基于Softmax的DL模型具备更强透明性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In line with the AI-native 6G vision, explainability and robustness are crucial for building trust and ensuring reliable performance in millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems. Efficient beam alignment is essential for initial access, but deep learning (DL) solutions face challenges, including high data collection overhead, hardware constraints, lack of explainability, and susceptibility to adversarial attacks. This paper proposes a robust and explainable DL-based beam alignment engine (BAE) for mmWave multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) systems. The BAE uses received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements from wide beams to predict the best narrow beam, reducing the overhead of exhaustive beam sweeping. To overcome the challenge of real-world data collection, this work leverages a site-specific digital twin (DT) to generate synthetic channel data closely resembling real-world environments. A model refinement via transfer learning is proposed to fine-tune the pre-trained model residing in the DT with minimal real-world data, effectively bridging mismatches between the digital replica and real-world environments. To reduce beam training overhead and enhance transparency, the framework uses deep Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) to rank input features by importance, prioritizing key spatial directions and minimizing beam sweeping. It also incorporates the Deep k-nearest neighbors (DkNN) algorithm, providing a credibility metric for detecting out-of-distribution inputs and ensuring robust, transparent decision-making. Experimental results show that the proposed framework reduces real-world data needs by 70%, beam training overhead by 62%, and improves outlier detection robustness by up to 8.5x, achieving near-optimal spectral efficiency and transparent decision making compared to traditional softmax based DL models.
