毫米波波束对齐在下一代无线系统中至关重要,但高效实现仍具挑战。现有元学习方法需更新全部网络且从随机初始化开始,导致参数更新量大、元训练成本高;而传统迁移学习仅部分更新网络,未利用显式多任务训练优化适应过程。为此,本文提出MTL-BA框架,针对毫米波多输入单输出(MISO)系统,冻结预训练卷积主干,仅对轻量级缩放-移位(SS)适配器和分类头进行元学习。通过预训练模型热启动并限制适应范围,显著降低适应成本与元训练开销,同时保持预测性能。在DeepMIMO射线追踪数据集上的仿真结果表明,尽管更新参数量约为全微调和模型无关元学习(MAML)的1/17,MTL-BA在不同信噪比下仍达到相当的准确率和频谱效率;优于仅微调最后一层的方法,且在参数更新量相近的情况下表现更优;接近MAML性能的同时,仅需60%的元训练轮数。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) beam alignment plays a critical role in next-generation wireless systems, yet its efficient implementation remains challenging. Meta-learning and transfer learning have been explored to enable deep learning-based beam prediction models to rapidly adapt to unseen environments; however, existing meta-learning approaches adapt the entire network and are trained from random initialization, leading to a large number of updated parameters and a high meta-training cost, while transfer learning approaches restrict adaptation to part of the network but do not exploit episodic meta-learning, which explicitly trains the model over multiple tasks, to optimize the adaptation process itself. To overcome these limitations, we propose MTL-BA, a meta-transfer learning framework for beam alignment in millimeter-wave multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems that freezes a pre-trained convolutional backbone and meta-learns only lightweight Scale-and-Shift (SS) adapters together with a classifier head. Warm-starting from the pre-trained model and restricting adaptation to the SS adapters and classifier head reduce both the adaptation cost and the meta-training budget without sacrificing prediction performance. Simulation results on the DeepMIMO ray-tracing dataset show that MTL-BA matches the accuracy and spectral efficiency of full fine-tuning across various SNR levels despite updating approximately $17\times$ fewer parameters than both full fine-tuning and Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML), outperforms last-layer fine-tuning while updating a comparable number of parameters, and approaches MAML's performance while requiring $60\%$ fewer meta-training epochs.
