- 通过双注意力模型从信道或位置数据中提取用户间干扰特征
- 计算复杂度降低3倍(信道场景)和100倍(位置场景),误差低于1分贝
- 适合卫星网络中的实时调度,可快速筛选最优用户组
信号干扰噪声比(SINR)在基于卫星的用户中心非地面网络(NTNs)的波束成形性能优化中至关重要。传统评估方式需发送专用导频或预先通过最小均方误差(MMSE)方法计算波束成形矩阵,带来显著计算开销。本文提出一种低复杂度的SINR估计框架,利用多头自注意力(MHSA)直接从信道状态信息(CSI)或用户位置报告中提取用户间干扰特征。所提出的双MHSA(DMHSA)模型无需显式执行MMSE计算,即可评估待调度用户组的SINR。该架构在基于CSI的设置中将计算复杂度降低3倍,在基于位置的配置中降低两个数量级,后者得益于用户报告维度更低。实验表明,两种DMHSA模型均保持高精度估计,根均方误差通常低于1 dB,适用于优先队列调度的用户。结果支持将基于DMHSA的估计器集成至调度流程,实现对多个候选用户组的评估与最高平均SINR及容量用户的快速选择。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) is central to performance optimization in user-centric beamforming for satellite-based non-terrestrial networks (NTNs). Its assessment either requires the transmission of dedicated pilots or relies on computing the beamforming matrix through minimum mean squared error (MMSE)-based formulations beforehand, a process that introduces significant computational overhead. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity SINR estimation framework that leverages multi-head self-attention (MHSA) to extract inter-user interference features directly from either channel state information or user location reports. The proposed dual MHSA (DMHSA) models evaluate the SINR of a scheduled user group without requiring explicit MMSE calculations. The architecture achieves a computational complexity reduction by a factor of three in the CSI-based setting and by two orders of magnitude in the location-based configuration, the latter benefiting from the lower dimensionality of user reports. We show that both DMHSA models maintain high estimation accuracy, with the root mean squared error typically below 1 dB with priority-queuing-based scheduled users. These results enable the integration of DMHSA-based estimators into scheduling procedures, allowing the evaluation of multiple candidate user groups and the selection of those offering the highest average SINR and capacity.
