用统一生成框架修复MIMO语义通信的信道与均衡误差
Restoration Flow Matching-Based Channel Refinement and Equalization Correction for MIMO Semantic Communications

- 将信道估计和均衡校正统一为条件生成任务,通过速度场引导重建
- 在多种畸变条件下提升信道估计精度和语义重建质量,优于扩散模型基线
- 仅需几步确定性微分方程求解,适合实时通信系统部署
在多输入多输出(MIMO)语义通信中,不完善的信道状态信息(CSI)和均衡失配会严重降低语义重建质量。为此,本文提出一种基于统一恢复流匹配(RFM)的信道精炼与均衡校正框架。具体地,设计了信道RFM(CRFM)模块以精炼粗略信道,提升信道估计精度;基于精炼后的信道,进一步引入语义RFM(SRFM)模块,校正后均衡隐空间中的残余畸变。核心思想是将信道估计与均衡这两个级联逆问题建模为统一的条件恢复任务,其中学习到的条件速度场引导扰动分布逼近目标分布。为增强两个模块在不同畸变条件下的鲁棒性,提出双锚点扰动训练策略,联合学习近流形精炼与大误差校正,并通过少步确定性常微分方程(ODE)求解器实现推理。在MIMO信道及视觉语义传输任务上的大量实验表明,该方案显著提升了信道估计与语义重建的关键指标。相较代表性扩散生成基线,所提方法所需采样步骤更少。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) semantic communication, imperfect channel state information (CSI) and equalization mismatch can seriously degrade semantic reconstruction quality. To address this issue, we propose a unified restoration flow matching (RFM)-based framework for channel refinement and equalization correction. Specifically, the channel RFM (CRFM) module is developed to refine the coarse channel, thereby improving channel estimation accuracy. Based on the refined channel, the developed semantic RFM (SRFM) module is employed to correct the residual distortions in the post-equalization latent space. The key idea is to formulate the two cascaded inverse problems of channel estimation and equalization as the unified conditional restoration task, in which the learned conditional velocity field guides the perturbed distribution towards the target distribution. To enhance the robustness of these two modules under various distortion conditions, we develop a dual-anchor perturbation training strategy that jointly learns near-manifold refinement and large-error correction, and implement inference through a few-step deterministic ordinary differential equation (ODE) solver. Extensive experiments on MIMO channels and visual semantic transmission tasks demonstrate that the proposed scheme improves key metrics for channel estimation and semantic reconstruction quality. Moreover, compared with representative diffusion-based generative baselines, the proposed method requires fewer sampling steps.
