信道状态信息(CSI)对自适应波束成形和保持无线链路稳定至关重要。然而,获取CSI需频繁发送导频信号,占5G网络高达25%的频谱资源。现有方法通过时空射频测量(如信号强度、到达方向)重建CSI,虽在离线场景有效,但推理延迟常达5-100毫秒,难以满足实时需求。本文提出GSpaRC:一种基于高斯点阵的实时射频信道重建方法,实现亚毫秒级延迟。该方法以一组紧凑的3D高斯基元表示射频环境,每个基元由轻量神经模型与距离衰减等物理特征联合参数化。针对接收端全向天线特性,采用以接收机为中心的球面等距投影。定制CUDA管线实现频率与空间维度上的完全并行化方向排序、点阵投射与渲染。在多个射频数据集上的评估表明,GSpaRC在重建保真度上媲美当前最先进方法,同时训练与推理时间均降低一个数量级以上。结果表明,少量GPU算力即可显著降低导频开销,使GSpaRC成为5G及未来无线系统中可扩展的低延迟信道估计方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Channel state information (CSI) is essential for adaptive beamforming and maintaining robust links in wireless communication systems. However, acquiring CSI incurs significant overhead, consuming up to 25% of spectrum resources in 5G networks due to frequent pilot transmissions at millisecond-scale intervals. Recent approaches aim to reduce this burden by reconstructing CSI from spatiotemporal RF measurements, such as signal strength and direction-of-arrival. While effective in offline settings, these methods often suffer from inference latencies in the 5-100 ms range, making them impractical for real-time systems. We present GSpaRC: Gaussian Splatting for Real-time Reconstruction of RF Channels, a method that achieves accurate channel reconstruction with latency in the low-millisecond regime or below. GSpaRC represents the RF environment using a compact set of 3D Gaussian primitives, each parameterized by a lightweight neural model augmented with physics-informed features such as distance-based attenuation. Unlike traditional vision-based splatting pipelines, GSpaRC is tailored for RF reception: it employs an equirectangular projection onto a hemispherical surface centered at the receiver to reflect omnidirectional antenna behavior. A custom CUDA pipeline enables fully parallelized directional sorting, splatting, and rendering across frequency and spatial dimensions. Evaluated on multiple RF datasets, GSpaRC achieves similar CSI reconstruction fidelity to recent state-of-the-art methods while reducing training and inference time by over an order of magnitude. These results illustrate that modest GPU computation can substantially reduce pilot overhead, making GSpaRC a scalable low-latency approach for channel estimation in 5G and future wireless systems.
