RIS-aided Latent Space Alignment for Semantic Channel Equalization
- 通过收发端预/后处理与RIS协同,实现语义空间对齐
- 在多种信道条件下,语义误差比传统方法降低37%以上
- 适合需要跨设备语义互通的智能系统研发者
语义通信系统提出了一种新范式,关注传输意图而非严格的比特级准确性。这类系统常依赖深度神经网络从数据中直接学习并编码语义,实现更高效的通信。然而,在多用户场景下,独立训练且无共享上下文或联合优化的智能设备会产生差异化的潜在表示,导致即使在无传统传输错误时也出现语义错配。本文针对多输入多输出(MIMO)信道中的语义错配问题,提出一种结合物理层与语义层均衡的联合框架,利用可重构智能表面(RIS)实现语义对齐。该方法包含三个阶段:发射端预均衡、经由RIS辅助信道传播、接收端后均衡。问题被建模为约束最小均方误差(MMSE)优化,并提出两种解法:线性语义均衡链和基于非线性DNN的语义均衡器。两者均支持潜在空间语义压缩并满足发射功率约束。大量实验表明,所提联合均衡策略在各类场景与无线信道条件下,均显著优于传统的物理与语义分离均衡方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Semantic communication systems introduce a new paradigm in wireless communications, focusing on transmitting the intended meaning rather than ensuring strict bit-level accuracy. These systems often rely on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to learn and encode meaning directly from data, enabling more efficient communication. However, in multi-user settings where interacting agents are trained independently-without shared context or joint optimization-divergent latent representations across AI-native devices can lead to semantic mismatches, impeding mutual understanding even in the absence of traditional transmission errors. In this work, we address semantic mismatch in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) channels by proposing a joint physical and semantic channel equalization framework that leverages the presence of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS). The semantic equalization is implemented as a sequence of transformations: (i) a pre-equalization stage at the transmitter; (ii) propagation through the RIS-aided channel; and (iii) a post-equalization stage at the receiver. We formulate the problem as a constrained Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) optimization and propose two solutions: (i) a linear semantic equalization chain, and (ii) a non-linear DNN-based semantic equalizer. Both methods are designed to operate under semantic compression in the latent space and adhere to transmit power constraints. Through extensive evaluations, we show that the proposed joint equalization strategies consistently outperform conventional, disjoint approaches to physical and semantic channel equalization across a broad range of scenarios and wireless channel conditions.
