一种可复用的低复杂度深度学习预编码框架,提升大规模MIMO能效与泛化能力。
A Low-Complexity Plug-and-Play Deep Learning Model for Generalizable Massive MIMO Precoding
- 采用师生协同架构与自监督损失,结合元学习和功率感知归一化。
- 在未见站点上仅需少量本地样本微调,性能优于传统与现有DL方法。
- 计算能耗降低21倍以上,对信道估计误差鲁棒,适合实际部署。
大规模多输入多输出(mMIMO)下行预编码虽具高谱效,但部署困难:近似最优算法如加权最小均方误差(WMMSE)计算开销大,且对信噪比(SNR)和信道估计质量敏感;现有深度学习(DL)方案通常缺乏鲁棒性,且需为每个部署站点重新训练。本文提出即插即用预编码器(PaPP),一种可适配全数字(FDP)或混合波束成形(HBF)的深度学习框架,经一次训练后即可跨站点、跨发射功率及不同信道估计误差场景复用,无需重新训练。PaPP融合高容量教师模型与紧凑学生模型,采用平衡教师模仿与归一化和速率的自监督损失,通过元学习领域泛化与发射功率感知输入归一化进行训练。基于三个未见站点的射线追踪数据的数值结果表明,经过少量本地无标签样本微调后,PaPP的FDP与HBF模型均超越传统与深度学习基线。两种架构下,PaPP实现超过21×的建模计算能耗降低,且在信道估计误差下仍保持良好性能,是高效能的mMIMO预编码实用解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) downlink precoding offers high spectral efficiency but remains challenging to deploy in practice because near-optimal algorithms such as the weighted minimum mean squared error (WMMSE) are computationally expensive, and sensitive to SNR and channel-estimation quality, while existing deep learning (DL)-based solutions often lack robustness and require retraining for each deployment site. This paper proposes a plug-and-play precoder (PaPP), a DL framework with a backbone that can be trained for either fully digital (FDP) or hybrid beamforming (HBF) precoding and reused across sites, transmit-power levels, and with varying amounts of channel estimation error, avoiding the need to train a new model from scratch at each deployment. PaPP combines a high-capacity teacher and a compact student with a self-supervised loss that balances teacher imitation and normalized sum-rate, trained using meta-learning domain-generalization and transmit-power-aware input normalization. Numerical results on ray-tracing data from three unseen sites show that the PaPP FDP and HBF models both outperform conventional and deep learning baselines, after fine-tuning with a small set of local unlabeled samples. Across both architectures, PaPP achieves more than 21$\times$ reduction in modeled computation energy and maintains good performance under channel-estimation errors, making it a practical solution for energy-efficient mMIMO precoding.
