针对高速移动场景,提出动态稀疏注意力的神经波束成形方法。

Neural Beamforming with Doppler-Aware Sparse Attention for High Mobility Environments

  • 基于多普勒效应设计可配置的时频二维稀疏注意力机制
  • 在城市宏基站场景下性能超越传统波束成形与固定稀疏模型
  • 保持结构化稀疏性,每查询关注关键信道信息数量可控

波束成形在多天线无线系统中对提升频谱效率和抑制干扰具有重要意义,尤其在密集高移动性场景下支持空间复用与分集。传统波束成形如零强迫(ZFBF)和最小均方误差(MMSE)在恶劣信道条件下性能下降。基于深度学习的波束成形通过非线性映射从信道状态信息(CSI)生成波束权重,增强对动态信道的鲁棒性。基于Transformer的模型因能建模跨时频的长程依赖而表现优异,但其二次复杂度限制了在大OFDM网格中的可扩展性。近期研究通过稀疏注意力降低复杂度,但多数模式未考虑信道动态,不专为无线通信设计。本文提出一种多用户单输入多输出(MU-SIMO)场景下的多普勒感知稀疏神经波束成形(Doppler-aware Sparse NNBF)模型,引入基于信道动态的2维时频可配置稀疏注意力结构,理论证明其在p跳内保证全连通性(p为注意力头数)。仿真结果表明,在城市宏基站(UMa)信道条件下,该方法在高速移动场景中显著优于固定模式基线(标准稀疏NNBF)以及传统波束成形技术ZFBF和MMSE,同时维持结构化稀疏性且每查询关注的关键数可控。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Beamforming has significance for enhancing spectral efficiency and mitigating interference in multi-antenna wireless systems, facilitating spatial multiplexing and diversity in dense and high mobility scenarios. Traditional beamforming techniques such as zero-forcing beamforming (ZFBF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) beamforming experience performance deterioration under adverse channel conditions. Deep learning-based beamforming offers an alternative with nonlinear mappings from channel state information (CSI) to beamforming weights by improving robustness against dynamic channel environments. Transformer-based models are particularly effective due to their ability to model long-range dependencies across time and frequency. However, their quadratic attention complexity limits scalability in large OFDM grids. Recent studies address this issue through sparse attention mechanisms that reduce complexity while maintaining expressiveness, yet often employ patterns that disregard channel dynamics, as they are not specifically designed for wireless communication scenarios. In this work, we propose a Doppler-aware Sparse Neural Network Beamforming (Doppler-aware Sparse NNBF) model that incorporates a channel-adaptive sparse attention mechanism in a multi-user single-input multiple-output (MU-SIMO) setting. The proposed sparsity structure is configurable along 2D time-frequency axes based on channel dynamics and is theoretically proven to ensure full connectivity within p hops, where p is the number of attention heads. Simulation results under urban macro (UMa) channel conditions show that Doppler-aware Sparse NNBF significantly outperforms both a fixed-pattern baseline, referred to as Standard Sparse NNBF, and conventional beamforming techniques ZFBF and MMSE beamforming in high mobility scenarios, while maintaining structured sparsity with a controlled number of attended keys per query.
