Detailed Description
The invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings
As shown in fig. 1: the AI receiver is designed based on deep learning techniques. In order to solve the problem that the non-communication-specific characteristic of a deep learning architecture is not matched with the real-time and accurate requirements of communication signal detection, and simultaneously improve the migration capability and the generalization capability of an AI receiver, digital communication Domain Knowledge (Domain Knowledge) is embedded into the design of a neural network. Aiming at a classic communication system receiver model, a knowledge-driven signal detector architecture is designed by adopting a modular design method.
Under this framework, a preliminary AI receiver was designed: three Neural Networks (NN) were utilized: a channel feature extractor, a signal feature extractor and a signal classifier form the whole receiver and estimate the transmitted symbols. In addition, according to the experimental result, a new component called a link discriminator is integrated into the architecture on the basis of the existing AI receiver by using the knowledge in the antagonistic learning idea and communication to improve the universality of the detector. As shown in fig. 2:
the communication system comprises a transmitter, a channel and a receiver, wherein a channel characteristic extractor, a signal characteristic extractor and a signal detection classifier form the whole receiver and estimate transmitted symbols;
the channel characteristic extractor is realized by a full-connection neural network, the module is used for estimating channel information according to a transmitted pilot signal and a pilot frequency receiving sample, the pilot signal is changed into the pilot signal sample after the actual channel action, the difference between the two signals is caused by a channel, so the channel information can be estimated according to the pilot frequency and the sample thereof, and finally the output of the channel characteristic extractor represents the channel information. After the useful signal sample arrives, the signal sample and the output of the channel feature extractor are used as input to be sent to a channel equalization network, and the network is used for carrying out equalization processing on the signal sample according to channel information and rejecting information related to a channel in the signal sample as far as possible. The parameters of the channel equalization network are not trainable and are generated by the channel characteristic extraction network, the data transmission process of the neural network is input and multiplied by the network weight coefficient, so when the parameters of the channel equalization network are generated by the output of the channel characteristic extraction network, the weight coefficient of the channel equalization network is channel state information, after a useful signal sample arrives, multiplication-like operation is realized after the useful signal sample passes through the channel equalization network, the knowledge of a traditional receiver is used for reference, the output of the channel equalization network is a 'signal characteristic vector', and finally, a signal classifier carries out signal detection according to the signal characteristic vector. Under ideal conditions, the channel related information in the sample signal is eliminated by the channel equalization network and does not exist in the signal feature vector, and the signal classifier can realize accurate detection according to the signal feature vector.
The working steps and the principle of the AI receiver are specifically as follows:
during the data transmission process, the data at the transmitting end can be divided into a pilot signal and a useful signal, wherein in one frame of data, the pilot signal is in front of the useful signal and the useful signal is immediately behind the pilot signal. After channel transmission, a sample signal is obtained at a receiving end, a pilot signal is transmitted to the receiving end to obtain a pilot sample signal, and a useful signal is transmitted to the receiving end to obtain a useful signal sample. When data is transmitted, pilot signal samples arrive at a receiving end first, and since the pilot signal is known by both a receiver and a transmitter, the pilot signal and the pilot signal samples are sent to a 'channel characteristic extractor' as input. The channel characteristic extractor is realized by a fully-connected neural network, the function of the module is to estimate channel information according to a transmitted pilot signal and a pilot receiving sample, because the pilot signal is changed into the pilot signal sample after the actual channel action, the difference between the two signals is caused by a channel, the neural network of the 'channel characteristic extractor' part can intelligently estimate the channel information according to the pilot and the sample thereof, and finally the output of the channel characteristic extractor represents the channel information.
After the useful signal sample arrives, the signal sample and the output of the channel feature extractor are used as input to be sent to a channel equalization network, and the network is used for carrying out equalization processing on the signal sample according to channel information and rejecting information related to a channel in the signal sample as far as possible. The parameters of the channel equalization network are not trainable and are generated by the channel characteristic extraction network, so the design just uses the knowledge of the traditional communication, and the receiver of the traditional communication system estimates the channel H according to the pilot signal firstly and then uses the channel H+And Y realizes channel equalization. The data transmission process of the neural network is that the input is multiplied by the network weight coefficient, so when the parameters of the channel equalization network are generated by the output of the channel characteristic extraction network, the weight coefficient of the channel equalization network is channel state information, after a useful signal sample arrives, multiplication-like operation is realized after the channel equalization network, the knowledge of a traditional receiver is used for reference, the output of the channel equalization network is a 'signal characteristic vector', and finally, the signal classifier carries out signal detection according to the signal characteristic vector. Under ideal conditions, the channel related information in the sample signal is eliminated by the channel equalization network and does not exist in the signal feature vector, and the signal classifier can realize accurate detection according to the signal feature vector.
In practice, because the true value of H is ignored, the channel characteristic extraction network cannot well remove the channel-related information from the received signal, and the signal characteristic vector depends on the channel state information. In this case, it is likely that the symbol detection error rate can still be kept at a very low level on the training data set, since during the training phase the network can detect from the received signal without fully equalizing out the channel information. However, the dependence of the signal feature vector on the channel state information means that the signal detection rules also depend on the channel state information. Therefore, when the network is used for a new channel (test phase), the learned signal detector cannot meet the design target, because the channel condition of the new device is different from that of the training device, and the detection performance of the AI receiver is lower than that of the test phase, so the generalization capability is weak.
In the training stage, channel information is not known, a discrete channel state set is established during training, different channel states are labeled, and each channel state has a corresponding channel index value. In order to ensure that the channel equalization network can realize perfect channel equalization operation, a 'link discriminator' is introduced into a receiver module in the training phase and is positioned at the same position as a signal classifier. The link discriminator is also a neural network, the inputs of which are the signal feature vectors and the transmitted signals, and which functions to estimate the channel conditions experienced by the current channel as much as possible from the inputs. The link identification network and the signal detection network have respective optimization targets, and the optimization targets of the channel characteristic extraction network and the channel equalization network are that the link identification device cannot realize accurate judgment according to the signal characteristic vector as much as possible, but the signal detection network can detect according to the signal characteristic network. That is, the channel related information in the sample signal is rejected by the channel equalization network, so that the link discrimination network cannot perform accurate estimation based on the signal feature vector, and finally the probability of network guess tends to:
the signal detection network can realize high-quality signal judgment, which means that an AI receiver learns how to perform channel estimation and channel equalization based on the sample signal, and the network has high generalization capability. As shown in fig. 3: the signal types of the digital communication at the transmitting end are limited, if the signal at the transmitting end has M types, the original signal is distorted after passing through the signal corresponding to M constellation points in a constellation diagram, and the signal sample obtained by the receiving end may be far from the original signal. And for the estimation of the signal to recover the bookIs essentially paired with the received signal
The sample space is divided, the original signal changes after passing through the channel, and the influence caused by the channel needs to be eliminated from the received sample as much as possible when the receiving end needs to realize signal recovery according to the obtained scattered sample signal, namely, the channel equalization operation in the traditional communication, which can prove that after the channel equalization operation is carried out, the minimum distance criterion under the discrete vector is equivalent to the maximum likelihood judgment criterion, and the signal judgment can be carried out according to the minimum distance criterion.
Fig. 4 shows a receiver structure widely used in the conventional communication system. Firstly, the pilot frequency part of the received signal passes through a channel estimation module to obtain the estimation of a channel coefficient matrix H
In that
On the basis of the received signal
Using channel equalizers H+To obtain
Finally based on the processed signal
A minimum distance criterion is applied for the decision.
The above receiver architecture can achieve good detection performance under most channel conditions. This classical receiver design is applied to signal detection when the channel conditions are unknown. The classical design structure of fig. 4 is applied to a neural network-based AI receiver, and the entire AI receiver is composed of a plurality of neural network modules. Before describing a specific AI receiver architecture.
As shown in fig. 5: the data frame format adopted in the data transmission is as follows:
in a frame signal, the pilot ratio is:
the pilot frequency occupation ratio is very low, which means that the efficiency of signal transmission is higher, and the requirement of small sample learning is met. Combining a conventional communication system receiver structure and a data frame format.
As shown in fig. 6: when data is transmitted, a pilot signal arrives first, the pilot signal is a signal known to both the transceiver, and corresponding channel information is extracted by using the pilot signal and a received signal after the pilot signal passes through a channel. The received pilot signal and the corresponding transmitted pilot are used as inputs to a "channel feature extraction network" that functions similarly to a channel estimator. The useful signal gets the corresponding sample signal after passing through the channel, the output of the channel characteristic extraction and the sample signal sequence are fed to the 'channel equalization network', and the channel equalization network can be regarded as a channel equalization module. The output of the channel equalization network is called the "signal eigenvector". Ideally, the channel related information in the sample signal is removed by the channel equalization network and does not exist in the signal feature vector, which also indicates that the network realizes a perfect channel equalization function. The AI receiver structure of the above figure introduces a "link discrimination network", and if there is no link discrimination network, the detection decision is directly made on the signal feature vector, but because the true value of H is ignored, the channel feature extraction network cannot well remove the channel related information from the received signal, and the signal feature vector depends on the channel state information. In this case, it is likely that the symbol detection error rate can still be kept at a very low level on the training data set, since during the training phase the network can detect from the received signal without fully equalizing out the channel information. However, the dependence of the signal feature vector on the channel state information means that the signal detection rules also depend on the channel state information. Therefore, when the network is used for a new channel (test phase), the learned signal detector cannot meet the design target, because the channel condition of the new device is different from that of the training device, and the detection performance of the AI receiver is lower than that of the test phase, so the generalization capability is weak.
The link identification network has the function of estimating the index value h of the channel state experienced by the current signal as much as possible by taking the real transmission data as a label according to the obtained signal characteristic vectorindex. And the signal detection network performs decision detection according to the obtained signal feature vector to minimize a loss function cross-entry. Output probability vector of softmax function can be used in network training
And cross-entropy of the one-hot encoding vector of the message sequence as a loss function, i.e.:
Lloss＝-ln(bi) (1)
in the formula:
bi-outputting the probability vector
The ith element of (1);
the signal detection network is therefore a training process with supervised learning. The link identification network and the signal detection network have respective optimization targets, and ideally, channel related information in the sample signal is removed by the channel equalization network, so that the link identification network cannot carry out accurate estimation based on the signal characteristic vector, and finally the probability of network guess tends to be as follows:
however, the signal detection network can realize high-quality signal judgment, the final goal is achieved, the AI receiver learns how to carry out channel estimation and channel equalization based on the sample signal, and the network has high generalization capability.
The neural network structure of the AI receiver is shown in fig. 7 below, in which the corresponding transmissions are represented by directional line segments of different colors. In the specific design process, the equalization network in fig. 7 is also a neural networkVia a network, but the weights of the network are not trainable but generated by the channel feature extraction network. Because in the classical communication theory, the channel equalization is performed by estimating the pseudo-inverse of the channel H and the received signal vector
And multiplication. If the channel equalization is performed by a trainable neural network, the channel characteristics and the received signal are fed into the channel equalization, and how they are processed is determined by the structure and parameters of the neural network. Since the operation of a neural network is very different from that of a classical multiplicative equalizer, a neural network for channel equalization cannot achieve channel equalization in a standard manner. The output of the channel feature extraction network (i.e., the channel features) is used as a parameter of the feature extraction network. And multiplying the channel characteristics by the received signal to obtain an output according to the operation rule of the neural network. Thus, the feature extraction network operates according to a standard channel equalization method, and can apply Domin Knowledge to AI receivers.
And (3) simulation result analysis:
1 simulation Condition and parameter configuration
For the AI receiver, the test is carried out under a flat Rayleigh fading channel, and the performance of the system is judged through an error rate curve obtained by simulation. The conditions of the simulation are divided into two cases:
the first method is to consider the influence of the nonlinear link in practical implementation, adopt a BPSK/QPSK modulation mode, and compare the performance of the AI receiver with the detection performance under the traditional LS channel estimation algorithm.
The second one is to consider the nonlinear factors (I/Q imbalance and nonlinear power amplifier) in the actual communication system, and adopt the 16-QAM modulation method to compare the AI receiver performance with the detection performance under the traditional LS channel estimation algorithm in such a more complex environment.
In the process of completing the task of the project, all the work is completed on a computer in a simulation mode, and software used for the simulation mainly comprises Pycharm and Matlab. Wherein, Pycharm mainly completes the training and testing work of the AI receiver; matlab mainly completes the simulation work of the traditional communication algorithm in the corresponding scene, and meanwhile, the drawing of all result graphs in the experiment is also completed through Matlab.
Flat Rayleigh fading channel without considering nonlinear link
The channel environment adopted by system simulation in the scene is a flat Rayleigh fading channel, and the flat fading channel can be equivalent to a single tap filter. In a flat rayleigh fading channel, the module value of the filter tap follows rayleigh distribution, both the real part and the imaginary part follow gaussian distribution, and the discrete vector expression of the received signal can be expressed as:
y＝h·x+n (2)
in the formula:
x-the transmitter's transmitted signal (in discrete vector form);
y-the received signal (in discrete vector form) after the transmitted signal has passed through the flat rayleigh fading channel;
n-flat rayleigh fading channel gaussian noise, n obeying a complex gaussian distribution: n to CN (0, N)0) The real and imaginary parts are normally distributed:
h-flat rayleigh fading channel filter tap, h obeys complex gaussian distribution: h CN (0,1), the real part and the imaginary part respectively obey normal distribution:
the modulation mode adopted by the signal at the transmitting end is BPSK/QPSK, and the corresponding constellation diagram is shown in fig. 8 as follows:
analyzing an accurate bit error rate expression:
the QPSK signal can be regarded as two independent BPSK signals, so from the perspective of the constellation diagram, the performance of the two modulation schemes is completely consistent. According to the theory of digital communication, the precise bit error rate expression of the BPSK/QPSK signal under AWGN channel is:
in the formula:
snr — bit signal to noise ratio:
the error rate performance under the flat Rayleigh fading channel can be analyzed on the basis of the AWGN channel, and the conditional error rate under one-time channel realization is as follows:
according to the probability distribution satisfied by the channel tap, the bit error rate expression under the flat Rayleigh fading channel can be obtained by performing statistical averaging on the above formula:
training and testing of AI receivers:
because the actual channel model is not known, the label data trained by the AI receiver is obtained by sampling the actual physical channel, i.e. the data X can be transmitted in a specific time periodiThrough the channel at this time, a sample signal Y is obtainediWhen the channel information is unknown, a specific index mark can be set for the channel at the moment
Indicating the set of tag data (X)i,Yi) Generated under the ith channel, the aim of the link discrimination network is to estimate the index value as accurately as possible
100 discrete channel states are sampled to generate corresponding label data for training of the AI receiver. The statistical distribution of the tested channel environment is not changed, but the signal is testedThe channel information during the channel and training is completely independent, and assuming that each frame of data experiences the same channel realization, the channel realization among different frames of data is mutually independent. I.e. a training, permanent use mode. Measuring the error rate performance of the AI receiver under the test channel, the specific steps are as shown in fig. 9:
flat Rayleigh fading channel under consideration of nonlinear link
In this scenario, the modulation scheme adopted by the signal is 16-QAM, and the corresponding constellation is as shown in fig. 10,
the performance of a communication system is deteriorated by a non-linear element in an actual communication system, the non-linear element is caused by non-ideality of physical devices, such as quantization error, low-precision ADC, and the like, and two non-linear factors are considered: I/Q imbalance and nonlinear power amplification. In the analysis of the noise, the actual noise z is different from the gaussian assumption of the reception noise generally adoptedkMay follow a non-gaussian distribution (e.g., in an industrial environment, transmitted symbols may experience impulsive interference). In practical applications, it is often not possible to model transmitter non-idealities and receiver noise accurately. Therefore, the conventional model-based signal detection method cannot be applied. Non-linear factors can cause distortion of the signal constellation, as shown in fig. 11:

2 simulation results analysis
Flat Rayleigh fading channel without considering nonlinear link
When the nonlinear link in actual communication is not considered, the error rate performance under the BSK/QPSK modulation mode is compared, and the specific simulation result is shown in fig. 12 as follows:
from the simulation results of the upper graph, it can be seen that, when the nonlinear link is not considered, the AI receiver, the LS channel estimation algorithm of the traditional communication and the accurate bit error rate curve are basically overlapped, which indicates that the AI receiver can realize the performance consistent with the traditional communication under the corresponding data frame format, and can approach the lower mathematical bound of theory, thus proving that the AI receiver designed by us has great potential, and laying a foundation for researching the lower simulation of the nonlinear link later, and providing possibility.
Flat Rayleigh fading channel under consideration of nonlinear link
And considering the nonlinear link in actual communication, and comparing the bit error rate performance under the condition of adopting a 16-QAM modulation mode.
The specific simulation results when considering the I/Q imbalance are shown in FIG. 13 below:
as can be seen from the simulation results of the above figures, when the I/Q imbalance nonlinear loop is considered, the performance of the AI receiver is far better than that of the LS channel estimation algorithm in conventional communication, the channel estimation and detection in the conventional method cannot consider the I/Q imbalance factor, the system still performs channel estimation and equalization according to the method under normal conditions, the result of channel estimation is poor, and the performance is rapidly degraded.
But the AI receiver is realized based on the neural network, the hidden layer of the neural network can integrate any function at a certain precision, and when the I/Q unbalanced nonlinear link is introduced, the AI receiver can intelligently capture the rule of the nonlinear link according to the change of the data, further formulate a corresponding judgment detection rule for compensation, and have better performance. This is also the greatest advantage of AI receivers over conventional communications.
For the deep analysis of an AI receiver and a traditional LS channel estimation and equalization algorithm under the condition of I/Q imbalance, the propagation of internal signals can be observed, the signals after final equalization and the corresponding judgment results are observed, and the difference between the two methods can be visually seen. Internal analysis is shown in fig. 14: from the upper graph, it can be found that the point with wrong judgment can be found visually by comparing the actual signals after the equalization of the two systems and the judgment result, and the traditional method is not thorough in equalization and has misjudgment at many points.
When considering a nonlinear power amplifier, the specific simulation result is shown in fig. 15 as follows: from the simulation results of the above figures, when the nonlinear loop of the nonlinear power amplifier is considered, the performance of the AI receiver is far superior to that of the LS channel estimation algorithm in traditional communication.
