  • 基于时空图神经网络预测用户调度状态,替代过时的协调信息。
  • 预测准确率达87.57%,在长时序预测中比LSTM提升7.71%。
  • 恢复了57%-73%的速率损失,尤其改善边缘用户公平性。

分布式5G网络中的协同波束成形依赖于及时交换小区间调度信息,但回传延迟使信息过时。即使仅一帧传输时间间隔(TTI)的延迟也会导致CBF-SLNR性能低于非协作基准,因预编码器抑制已不再活跃的用户干扰。因此,使用过时信息进行协调反而比不协调更差。为此,我们提出一种两阶段预测框架:采用谱时空图神经网络(StemGNN)从延迟的历史观测中预测未来用户设备(UE)调度状态,并用预测结果替代CBF-SLNR预编码器中的过时输入。在三小区大规模MIMO下行链路(60个UE,每基站64根天线)、Quadriga城区微小区(UMi)信道和比例公平调度器下评估,StemGNN平均调度预测准确率达87.57%,优于LSTM、GRU、Simple RNN和马尔可夫链基线,在长时序预测中对齐时序结构依赖优于自相关。集成至协同波束成形后,预测恢复了因1 TTI回传延迟造成的57%-73%总吞吐量损失,相较无预测基线提升9.58%-14.35%;对边缘用户,最高恢复83%的滞后1公平性损失,且在高滞后值下公平性收益持续存在,而吞吐量增益趋于饱和。结果表明,将回传延迟视为时空预测问题,是实现延迟约束网络中鲁棒跨小区协调的有效方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Coordinated beamforming in distributed 5G networks relies on the timely exchange of inter-cell scheduling information, but backhaul latency makes this information stale. Even a single transmission time interval (TTI) of delay can reduce CBF-SLNR performance below the uncoordinated baseline, because the precoder suppresses interference toward users that are no longer active. Coordination on stale information is therefore worse than no coordination at all. To address this, we propose a two-stage predictive framework in which a Spectral Temporal Graph Neural Network (StemGNN) predicts future user equipment (UE) scheduling states from delayed historical observations, and the predictions replace stale inputs to the CBF-SLNR precoder. Evaluated on a three-cell massive MIMO downlink with 60 UEs and 64 antennas per base station under Quadriga Urban Micro (UMi) channels and a proportional fair scheduler, StemGNN achieves a mean scheduling prediction accuracy of 87.57%, outperforming LSTM, GRU, Simple RNN, and Markov chain baselines at all evaluated horizons, with gains of up to 7.71% over LSTM at longer horizons where inter-UE structural dependencies dominate over temporal autocorrelation. When integrated into coordinated beamforming, the predictions recover 57-73% of the sum rate loss caused by one TTI of backhaul delay, improving sum rate by 9.58-14.35% over the no-prediction baseline and recovering up to 83% of the Lag-1 fairness loss for cell-edge users, with fairness gains persisting at higher lag values where throughput gains diminish. These results show that treating backhaul latency as a spatio-temporal forecasting problem is an effective approach for robust inter-cell coordination in delay-constrained networks.
