Single-Model Adaptive Wireless Image Transmission via Feature Sparsity Regularization

  • 通过尾部稀疏正则化,动态分配特征通道,仅传活跃前缀。
  • 在三种数据集上均优于最新学习型联合编码方法。
  • 无需额外网络或开销,适合资源受限的实时视觉通信。

学习型联合源信道编码(JSCC)通过可微信道模型联合优化收发端,实现鲁棒的无线图像传输。针对带宽受限且时变的视觉链路,单一模型需支持用户可调传输速率、适应信道变化,并根据空间内容动态分配资源。现有内容自适应或动态分配方案常依赖熵编码、上下文/概率预测、显式速率图或掩码,或附加分配网络,导致编码解码流程复杂,增加辅信息开销。本文提出TS-JSCC,一种基于尾部结构稀疏化的单模型自适应JSCC框架。首先,采用基于L1的尾部结构稀疏化目标,促使每个令牌保留活跃的特征通道前缀,抑制尾部通道,实现内容自适应特征通道分配,且辅信息紧凑。其次,轻量级分阶段神经调节模块利用归一化稀疏控制系数与信道信噪比(SNR),重缩放中间特征,实现单模型下的速率与SNR自适应。在CIFAR-10、Kodak和CLIC2021数据集上,于加性高斯白噪声(AWGN)和瑞利衰落信道下实验表明,TS-JSCC在率失真性能上优于最新学习型JSCC基线,同时保持与理想分离基线相当的表现,且维持简单的一次性编码解码结构,无额外结构或计算开销。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Learned joint source-channel coding (JSCC) enables robust wireless image transmission by jointly optimizing the transmitter and receiver over differentiable channel models. For bandwidth-limited and time-varying visual links, a single model should support user-adjustable transmission rate and adapt to changing wireless channel conditions, while also dynamically allocating resources according to spatial content. Existing content-adaptive or dynamic allocation schemes often rely on entropy coding, context/probability prediction, explicit rate maps or masks, or auxiliary allocation networks, complicating the encoder-decoder pipeline and increasing side-information overhead. We propose TS-JSCC, a single-model adaptive JSCC framework with tail-structured sparsification. First, an L1-based tail-structured sparsification objective encourages each token to retain an active feature-channel prefix while suppressing trailing ones. This enables content-adaptive feature-channel allocation with compact side information through active-prefix transmission. Second, lightweight stage-wise neural regulating modules use a normalized sparsity-control coefficient and the channel signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to rescale intermediate features for single-model transmission rate and SNR adaptation. Experiments on CIFAR-10, Kodak, and CLIC2021 under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading show that TS-JSCC achieves strong rate-distortion performance against the latest learned-JSCC baselines and remains competitive with the considered idealized separation baselines, while retaining a simple one-shot encoder-decoder without extra structures or computations.
