用导频信号边解调边学习,实现无额外开销的持续自适应接收。

Learning During Detection: Continual Learning for Neural OFDM Receivers via DMRS

  • 利用现有导频信号同时完成信号解调与模型更新。
  • 在慢变和快变信道下均保持稳定性能,无服务中断。
  • 适合动态通信环境中的神经接收机部署。

深度神经网络(DNN)被广泛用于接收机设计,因其可在无需显式信道模型的情况下处理复杂环境。然而,由于通信信道变化迅速,其分布可能随时间漂移,常需周期性重新训练。本文提出一种零开销的在线持续学习框架,用于正交频分复用(OFDM)神经接收机,直接检测接收信号的软比特。不同于依赖专用训练时段或完整资源网格的传统微调方法,本方法利用现有的解调参考信号(DMRS),在实现信号解调的同时完成模型自适应。我们提出三种导频设计:完全随机、混合及附加导频,灵活支持联合解调与学习。为适配这些导频设计,开发了两种接收机架构:(i) 并行设计,分离推理与微调以保证连续运行;(ii) 前向传播复用设计,降低计算复杂度。仿真结果表明,该方法在无额外开销、无服务中断、无分布偏移导致性能崩溃的情况下,有效追踪慢速与快速信道分布变化。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been increasingly explored for receiver design because they can handle complex environments without relying on explicit channel models. Nevertheless, because communication channels change rapidly, their distributions can shift over time, often making periodic retraining necessary. This paper proposes a zero-overhead online and continual learning framework for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) neural receivers that directly detect the soft bits of received signals. Unlike conventional fine-tuning methods that rely on dedicated training intervals or full resource grids, our approach leverages existing demodulation reference signals (DMRS) to simultaneously enable signal demodulation and model adaptation. We introduce three pilot designs: fully randomized, hybrid, and additional pilots that flexibly support joint demodulation and learning. To accommodate these pilot designs, we develop two receiver architectures: (i) a parallel design that separates inference and fine-tuning for uninterrupted operation, and (ii) a forward-pass reusing design that reduces computational complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed method effectively tracks both slow and fast channel distribution variations without additional overhead, service interruption, or catastrophic performance degradation under distribution shift.
