An Encoder-Decoder Network for Beamforming over Sparse Large-Scale MIMO Channels
- 设计编码-解码网络,用户侧压缩信道信息回传基站。
- 基站解码重建信道并优化波束成形,实现高精度信号定向。
- 结合半缓释学习与知识蒸馏,训练更高效,适合实际部署。
我们提出一种面向大规模稀疏MIMO信道的下行链路波束成形端到端深度学习框架。核心为包含三个模块的深度编码-解码网络(EDN):(i) 用户端部署编码器神经网络(NN),将估计的下行信道压缩为低维隐向量,该向量经压缩后反馈至基站;(ii) 基站处的波束成形解码器NN,将恢复的隐向量映射为波束成形向量;(iii) 基站处的信道解码器NN,从恢复的隐向量重构下行信道,以进一步优化波束成形。EDN训练采用两项关键策略:(a) 半缓释学习,在训练和推理阶段均引入解析梯度上升的波束成形解码器;(b) 知识蒸馏,损失函数包含监督项与无监督项,初始阶段使用最小均方误差(MMSE)波束成形进行监督训练,随训练轮次推进逐步转向以和速率为目标的无监督训练。所提框架拓展应用于远场与近场混合波束成形场景。大量仿真验证其在多种网络与信道条件下的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We develop an end-to-end deep learning framework for downlink beamforming in large-scale sparse MIMO channels. The core is a deep EDN architecture with three modules: (i) an encoder NN, deployed at each user end, that compresses estimated downlink channels into low-dimensional latent vectors. The latent vector from each user is compressed and then fed back to the BS. (ii) a beamformer decoder NN at the BS that maps recovered latent vectors to beamformers, and (iii) a channel decoder NN at the BS that reconstructs downlink channels from recovered latent vectors to further refine the beamformers. The training of EDN leverages two key strategies: (a) semi-amortized learning, where the beamformer decoder NN contains an analytical gradient ascent during both training and inference stages, and (b) knowledge distillation, where the loss function consists of a supervised term and an unsupervised term, and starting from supervised training with MMSE beamformers, over the epochs, the model training gradually shifts toward unsupervised using the sum-rate objective. The proposed EDN beamforming framework is extended to both far-field and near-field hybrid beamforming scenarios. Extensive simulations validate its effectiveness under diverse network and channel conditions.
