神经极化解码器实现无导频5G通信,低速率下性能更优。

A Study of Neural Polar Decoders for Communication

  • 用神经网络改进极化码解码,直接处理有记忆信道。
  • 在5G信道上误码率和吞吐量均优于标准极化解码器。
  • 适合控制信道等短块低速率场景,支持单载波传输。

本文将神经极化解码器(NPD)应用于端到端通信系统。尽管先前工作已验证其在模拟信道上的有效性,本研究将其扩展至真实通信系统,适配了OFDM与单载波系统。通过速率匹配、高阶调制及跨多样信道条件的鲁棒性设计,NPD可支持任意码长。该解码器直接作用于有记忆信道,利用信道结构实现更高数据速率,无需导频与循环前缀。虽然计算复杂度高于5G标准极化解码器,但其神经网络架构能高效表征信道统计特性,使复杂度在实际系统中可控。5G信道实验表明,NPD在误码率(BER)、块误码率(BLER)和吞吐量方面持续优于5G极化解码器,尤其在低码率与短块配置下优势显著,适用于5G控制信道。此外,应用于单载波系统时,性能可媲美OFDM,且峰均功率比(PAPR)更低,实现高效单载波传输。结果表明,NPD是一种高性能、无导频、强鲁棒性的解码方案。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In this paper, we adapt and analyze Neural Polar Decoders (NPDs) for end-to-end communication systems. While prior work demonstrated the effectiveness of NPDs on synthetic channels, this study extends the NPD to real-world communication systems. The NPD was adapted to complete OFDM and single-carrier communication systems. To satisfy practical system requirements, the NPD is extended to support any code length via rate matching, higher-order modulations, and robustness across diverse channel conditions. The NPD operates directly on channels with memory, exploiting their structure to achieve higher data rates without requiring pilots and a cyclic prefix. Although NPD entails higher computational complexity than the standard 5G polar decoder, its neural network architecture enables an efficient representation of channel statistics, resulting in manageable complexity suitable for practical systems. Experimental results over 5G channels demonstrate that the NPD consistently outperforms the 5G polar decoder in terms of BER, BLER, and throughput. These improvements are particularly significant for low-rate and short-block configurations, which are prevalent in 5G control channels. Furthermore, NPDs applied to single-carrier systems offer performance comparable to OFDM with lower PAPR, enabling effective single-carrier transmission over 5G channels. These results position the NPD as a high-performance, pilotless, and robust decoding solution.
