  • 适合低功耗无线智能设备部署

无线物理神经网络(WPNN)将神经计算直接嵌入模拟硬件,相比传统数字实现具有更低能耗和延迟。本文提出一种深层WPNN架构,通过多跳多输入多输出(MIMO)中继网络实现非线性激活:每个中继执行可训练的复数线性增益与偏置,随后由功率放大器的固有非线性充当激活函数。多级中继级联形成空中全连接网络,参数可端到端训练。针对不同信道状态信息(CSI)可用性,设计两种收发机方案:仅需接收端CSI的最小二乘(LS)方案,以及需收发端双重CSI的奇异值分解(SVD)方案。仿真表明,该架构能实现高精度空中推理,尤其在利用硬件非线性提升推理能力方面表现突出。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Wireless physical neural networks (WPNNs) embed neural computation directly into analog hardware, offering lower energy consumption and latency than conventional digital implementations. In this paper, we propose a deep WPNN in which nonlinear activations are realized by a multi-hop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay network, in which each relay implements a trainable complex linear gain and bias, followed by the power amplifier's intrinsic nonlinearity acting as an activation function. The cascade of multiple relays therefore realizes an over-the-air fully connected network whose parameters can be trained end-to-end. We develop two transceiver designs for different channel state information (CSI) availability scenarios: a least squares (LS)-based scheme requiring only receiver-side CSI, and a singular-value-decomposition (SVD)-based scheme requiring both transmitter-side and receiver-side CSI. Simulation results show that the proposed architecture enables accurate over-the-air inference for image classification. In particular, the results highlight the advantage of exploiting hardware nonlinearity for enhanced inference capability.
