Neural Network-Assisted CLEAN for Channel Modeling in Low-SNR Regimes
- 把神经网络嵌入CLEAN迭代流程,用前向传播替代耗时的网格搜索。
- 在5dB信噪比下准确率超96%,接近传统方法但计算量大幅降低。
- 适合需要实时处理的多输入多输出系统,可高效并行部署。
精确的多径参数估计对现代无线通信系统至关重要,尤其在低信噪比环境下。传统最大似然估计方法如CLEAN虽具高分辨率,但因穷举网格搜索导致计算复杂度极高。纯数据驱动的深度学习方法缺乏物理依据,难以泛化到不同多径密度和非网格参数场景。为此,本文提出神经网络辅助的CLEAN(NN-CLEAN)混合框架,将多头残差网络嵌入迭代CLEAN提取过程。通过用快速并行前向传播替代网格搜索,并将残差相减交由精确数学模型完成,NN-CLEAN在不累积非物理误差的前提下,精准分离出物理多径参数。大量蒙特卡洛仿真表明,NN-CLEAN在5 dB SNR下估计准确率超过96%,达到传统网格搜索CLEAN(GS-CLEAN)基准水平,同时显著降低计算复杂度,大幅优于子空间方法和独立的一次性神经网络。关键的是,随着批量大小增加,执行时间和内存消耗几乎保持平坦。这种高效的并行化使NN-CLEAN成为MIMO系统中稳健的实时信道估计解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate multipath parameter estimation is critical for modern wireless communication systems, particularly in challenging low-SNR environments. Traditional Maximum Likelihood Estimation algorithms, such as CLEAN, provide high-resolution parameter extraction but suffer from prohibitive computational complexity due to exhaustive grid search. Conversely, purely data-driven deep learning approaches lack physical grounding and struggle to generalize across variable multipath densities and off-grid parameters. To address these limitations, this paper proposes Neural Network-Assisted CLEAN (NN-CLEAN), a hybrid framework that embeds a multi-head residual network directly into the iterative CLEAN extraction loop. By replacing the exhaustive grid search with rapid, parallelizable forward passes while delegating residual subtraction to exact mathematical models, NN-CLEAN isolates physical multipath parameters without accumulating non- physical errors. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that NN-CLEAN achieves estimation accuracy exceeding 96% at 5 dB SNR, matching the traditional Grid-Search CLEAN (GS- CLEAN) baseline, while providing a massive reduction in computational complexity and substantially outperforming subspace methods and standalone one-shot neural networks. Crucially, NN-CLEAN exhibits a near-flat scaling in execution runtime and memory consumption as batch sizes increase. This highly efficient parallelization establishes NN-CLEAN as a robust, real- time solution for channel estimation in MIMO systems.
