用流匹配分离信道信息,3毫秒内实现高精度低延迟估计

Null-Space Flow Matching for MIMO Channel Estimation in Latency-Constrained Systems

  • 通过范围-零空间分解分离可观测与不确定信道分量
  • 在约3毫秒延迟下仍保持竞争力的归一化均方误差性能
  • 适合对时延敏感的5G/6G MIMO系统实时信道估计

精确且低延迟的信道状态信息(CSI)获取对多输入多输出(MIMO)通信系统至关重要。尽管先进的深度生成模型(如基于得分和扩散模型)能从有限导频观测中实现高保真度的CSI重建,但通常存在较高的推理延迟。为在严格时延约束下实现准确的CSI估计,本文提出一种零空间流匹配(null-space flow matching, FM)框架,利用范围-零空间分解将观测驱动的可确定分量与未确定分量分离。具体而言,导频观测用于调控可观测范围空间分量,而基于流匹配的生成先验主要通过迭代优化解决零空间中的模糊自由度。为进一步提升鲁棒性和效率,引入噪声感知自适应校正策略以抑制优化路径上的信道噪声,并采用幂律时间调度来更优分配有限的迭代步数。实验结果表明,所提方法在约3毫秒的严格时延预算下仍达到具有竞争力的归一化均方误差(NMSE)性能,相比基于模型和生成式基线方法展现出更优的精度-延迟权衡。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate yet low-latency channel state information (CSI) acquisition is essential for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. While advanced deep generative models, such as score-based and diffusion models, enable high-fidelity CSI reconstruction from limited pilot observations, they often suffer from high inference latency. To achieve accurate CSI estimation under stringent latency constraints, this paper proposes a null-space flow matching (FM) framework that leverages a range-null space decomposition to separate observation-informed and underdetermined channel components. Specifically, the pilot observations are used to regulate the observable range-space channel component, while an FM-based generative prior primarily resolves the ambiguous null-space degrees of freedom through iterative refinement. To further improve the robustness and efficiency of the proposed framework, we introduce a noise-aware adaptive correction strategy to suppress channel noise on the refinement trajectory, along with a power-law time schedule to better allocate the limited number of refinement steps. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves competitive normalized mean square error (NMSE) performance even under a strict latency budget of around 3 ms, while delivering a superior accuracy-latency tradeoff compared with both model-based and generative baselines.
