用深度学习设计低峰均比波形,不改硬件就能提升通信效率
DeepOFW: Deep Learning-Driven OFDM-Flexible Waveform Modulation for Peak-to-Average Power Ratio Reduction
- 基于可微分框架,端到端优化波形与接收参数
- 在3GPP信道下PAPR显著降低,误码率优于现有方案
- 仅需离线训练,可部署于标准通信硬件
峰均功率比(PAPR)仍是正交频分复用(OFDM)等多载波调制方案的主要瓶颈,降低功率放大器效率并限制实际发射功率。本文提出DeepOFW,一种深度学习驱动的OFDM灵活波形调制框架,支持数据驱动的波形设计,同时保持传统收发机的低复杂度硬件结构。该架构完全可微,可在实际物理约束下实现波形生成与接收处理的端到端优化。与需两端进行深度学习推理的神经收发机不同,DeepOFW将学习阶段限定在离线或中心化单元,无需额外计算开销即可部署于标准发射机和接收机硬件。该框架联合优化波形表示与检测参数,并在训练中显式引入PAPR约束。3GPP多径信道上的大量仿真表明,所学波形相比经典OFDM显著降低PAPR,同时相对于最先进的传输方案提升了误码率(BER)性能。这些结果凸显了数据驱动波形设计在提升多载波通信系统方面的潜力,且保持硬件高效实现。本文开源了该框架实现,以促进可复现研究与实际应用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) remains a major limitation of multicarrier modulation schemes such as orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), reducing power amplifier efficiency and limiting practical transmit power. In this work, we propose DeepOFW, a deep learning-driven OFDM-flexible waveform modulation framework that enables data-driven waveform design while preserving the low-complexity hardware structure of conventional transceivers. The proposed architecture is fully differentiable, allowing end-to-end optimization of waveform generation and receiver processing under practical physical constraints. Unlike neural transceiver approaches that require deep learning inference at both ends of the link, DeepOFW confines the learning stage to an offline or centralized unit, enabling deployment on standard transmitter and receiver hardware without additional computational overhead. The framework jointly optimizes waveform representations and detection parameters while explicitly incorporating PAPR constraints during training. Extensive simulations over 3GPP multipath channels demonstrate that the learned waveforms significantly reduce PAPR compared with classical OFDM while simultaneously improving bit error rate (BER) performance relative to state-of-the-art transmission schemes. These results highlight the potential of data-driven waveform design to enhance multicarrier communication systems while maintaining hardware-efficient implementations. An open-source implementation of the proposed framework is released to facilitate reproducible research and practical adoption.
