用张量分解实现高维通信系统的高效贝叶斯推断

Bayesian inference in high-dimensional discrete-input additive noise models is a fundamental challenge in communication systems, as the support of the required joint a posteriori probability (APP) mass function grows exponentially with the number of unknown variables. In this work, we propose a tensor-train (TT) framework for tractable, near-optimal Bayesian inference in discrete-input additive noise models. The central insight is that the joint log-APP mass function admits an exact low-rank representation in the TT format, enabling compact storage and efficient computations. To recover symbol-wise APP marginals, we develop a practical inference procedure that approximates the exponential of the log-posterior using a TT-cross algorithm initialized with a truncated Taylor-series. To demonstrate the generality of the approach, we derive explicit low-rank TT constructions for two canonical communication problems: the linear observation model under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), applied to multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection, and soft-decision decoding of binary linear block error correcting codes over the binary-input AWGN channel. Numerical results show near-optimal error-rate performance across a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios while requiring only modest TT ranks. These results highlight the potential of tensor-network methods for efficient Bayesian inference in communication systems.
