信道状态信息压缩方法、重构方法和电子设备
本申请要求于2024年04月08日提交中国国家知识产权局、申请号为202410411951.1、申请名称为“信道状态信息压缩方法、重构方法和电子设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本发明涉及人工智能或通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种信道状态信息压缩方法、重构方法和电子设备。
背景技术
基站(BaseStation,BS)为用户设备(User Equipment,UE)服务之前,需要获得BS和UE之间的信道状态信息(Channel State Information,CSI),一般是UE将CSI执行压缩(或者说编码)等处理之后得到比特流,传输至BS,BS对比特流执行解码等操作,获得重构后的CSI。
相关信道进行联合压缩重构的场景下,一类方案利用专家经验进行联合压缩重构,例如,多用户大规模多输入多输出(Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output,massive MIMO)系统中,由于共享共同的局部散射集合,多UE的CSI矩阵可能具有联合的相关性,因此,该方案设计了一种分布式CS压缩重构框架,利用多UE的CSI矩阵之间的联合相关性进一步压缩CSI矩阵。但是,此类方案主要依赖于专家经验,通常具有较强的假设条件,当满足这些假设条件时,可以表现得很好;但是,一旦假设条件不满足,此类方案的性能就会急剧下降,方案的泛化性或者说通用性有待提升。
发明内容

第一方面,本申请实施例提供了一种信道状态信息压缩方法,可以应用于第一用户设备UE,先确定第一UE对应的第一信道特征;第一信道特征,基于待编码的第一信道状态信息CSI获得;以及,确定掩码矩阵;基于第一信道特征和掩码矩阵,获得第一UE对应的比特流。
其中,第一UE为多个UE中的一个。待编码的第一CSI,即原始CSI矩阵。BS侧根据比特流获得重构信道状态信息(重构CSI)。
该方法无需依赖专家经验,不需要满足诸多假设条件,泛化性和通用性更好,能够适用于MU或多站或多频的场景,泛化性和通用性得到了提升。在编码时,通过掩码矩阵,指示哪些特征为冗余特征,减少冗余特征对于通信资源的占用。
在一些实施例中,基于第一信道特征和掩码矩阵,获得第一UE对应的比特流,可以是基于掩码矩阵,对第一信道特征执行掩码操作,获得第一UE对应的比特流。
掩码操作,可以在编码端显式进行冗余特征的去除,例如用Mask矩阵将冗余特征置0,这样获得的特征稀疏性更明显,具有更小的熵,因而能在同样的压缩比下,获得更小的重构损失。
在一些实施例中,确定掩码矩阵,可以是基于第一UE对应的第一CSI,确定第一UE对应的第一掩码矩阵;或者,确定多个UE对应的同一掩码矩阵,多个UE包括第一UE。
多个UE可以学习同一个掩码矩阵,或者多个UE分别学习各自的掩码矩阵。
在一些实施例中,第一UE部署有编码网络,编码网络包括掩码生成器和编码器。确定第一UE对应的第一信道特征,可以是通过编码器,确定第一UE对应的第一信道特征。确定掩码矩阵,可以是通过掩码生成器,确定掩码矩阵。
掩码生成器即Mask生成器。本申请实施例提出了一种CSI压缩重构场景下的新的编码网络方案,在编码器基础上增加了掩码生成器,在训练阶段通过掩码生成器学习冗余特征,在应用阶段,通过掩码生成器指示冗余特征,从而可以通过掩码操作去除冗余特征。

其中,本申请实施例提出的方案将信道分解成了公共特征和个性化信道特征两个部分进行重构。如此,在重构公共信道时,无需考虑个性化特征,而重构个性化信道时,免除了公共特征的干扰。相比于直接学习一个融合后的信道,网络学习的难度相对降低,更有利于获得高性能的模型,从而实现高性能的CSI信息压缩和重构。
在一些实施例中,获得公共特征之后,还可以基于公共特征,获得公共信道状态信息;获得至少一个UE分别对应的第二CSI之后,还可以基于公共信道状态信息和至少一个UE分别对应的第二CSI,获得至少一个UE分别对应的第三CSI。

应当明确,所描述的实施例仅仅是本说明书一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本说明书中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例,都属于本说明书保护的范围。
在本申请实施例中使用的术语是仅仅出于描述特定实施例的目的,而非旨在限制本说明书。在本申请实施例和所附权利要求书中所使用的单数形式的“一种”、“所述”和“该”也旨在包括多数形式,除非上下文清楚地表示其他含义。
基站(BS)为UE服务之前,需要对UE进行预编码等处理,因而需要获得基站和UE之间的CSI,CSI可以反映基站和UE之间的环境信息,例如二者之间障碍物造成的散射、折射等等。一般而言,是由UE将CSI反馈给BS,由于CSI是一个维度为天线数*频带数的复数矩阵,若按照CSI矩阵的原始维度进行反馈,通信开销很大。
如图1所示,为了解决反馈开销过大的问题,需要在UE端,将原始CSI矩阵H通过一系列操作进行压缩、量化,得到长度可控的01比特流h。当BS端接受到01比特流h后,再重构出CSI矩阵其中,原始CSI矩阵、压缩量化后的比特流、重构CSI矩阵分别用H、h、表示。CSI Compression表示CSI压缩。
在第五代移动通信技术(5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology,5G)时代,基站侧和UE侧都可以装载多个天线,CSI中的“天线数”即BS和UE的天线数目的乘积,但这样会存在相邻天线信号之间的干扰问题,Massive MIMO技术就是用于降低干扰的技术,已经在5G中广泛使用。
通过该技术,同一个基站可以同时为多个UE服务,同一个UE也可以接受多个不同的基站的服务,由此可以在频谱资源固定的情况下,增大信道的容量。也就是说,在Massive MIMO系统中,一个基站通常会为多个不同的UE服务,而一个UE也常常会与多个基站进行通信。除此以外,即使同一个UE和同一个基站之间,由于信号可以在不同的频段上传输,所以也会存在多个频段(Multi-Band)同时服务的场景。需要说明的是,此处的频段是指“中心频点”,围绕一个中心频点,可以采集多个频点上的信道,这些频点组合称为CSI中的“频带”。
上面三种场景中,一个基站同时为多个UE服务,可以简称为多用户(Multi User,MU);多个基站同时为一个UE服务可以简称为多站;在多个频段上服务,可以简称为多频(Multi-band)。
在这些场景下,同时传输的信道具有一定程度的相关性,例如,在MU场景下,由于基站是同一个,其周围的建筑物等环境信息是固定的,所以不同UE和该基站之间的环境具有一些共同的特点,此时不同UE和该基站的CSI之间具有较大的相关性,因此本申请实施例中,将多用户或多站或多频应用场景下的多信道,统称为“相关信道”或者“相关信道对”。
基于相关信道或者相关信道对的CSI联合压缩重构场景中,一般具有如下特性:
(1)UE与BS之间的环境复杂多变,导致相关信道之间的相关性也具有多样性,因此对压缩重构方案的通用性、泛化性具有较高的要求。(2)各个UE需要共享同样的编码器,例如编码网络的参数需要完全相同,但是希望各个UE提取出来的信息尽量不重复。(3)在压缩量化至同样长度的比特流下,重构CSI和原始CSI之间的NMSE(Normalized Mean Squared Error,归一化均方误差)越小越好。
起初,通过专家经验设计方案,进行CSI的压缩和重构;随着神经网络技术、人工智能技术的不断发展,一些方案将分布式信源编码技术和深度学习相结合进行相关信道对的联合压缩重构。
相关信道进行联合压缩重构的场景,与分布式信源编码的场景非常匹配,因此很多工作基于R16标准协议算法或者压缩感知算法,利用专家经验进行联合压缩重构。例如,一种基于专家经验的白盒算法中,基于多用户massive MIMO系统,由于共享共同的局部散射集合,多UE的CSI矩阵可能具有联合的相关性,因此,该基于专家经验的白盒算法,设计了一种分布式CS压缩重构框架,利用多UE的CSI矩阵之间的联合相关性进一步压缩CSI矩阵。
然而,基于CS、专家经验的方法,通常具有较强的假设条件,当满足这些假设条件时,这些方案可以表现得很好;但是,一旦假设条件不满足,这些方案的性能就会急剧下降,而实际应用环境复杂多变,经常出现无法满足假设条件的情形。可见,基于专家经验的白盒算法方案,方案的泛化能力较差,通用性有待提升。
此外,专家经验设计与神经网络难以结合。例如,在单UE对单基站或单频点等基础场景下,基于神经网络的方案相比专家白盒方案有着明显的优势,当从基础场景扩展到多UE等场景时,由于神经网络的不可解释性,白盒的方案很难与神经网络的基础场景方案相融合,使得基于神经网络的基础场景下的方案难以拓展到多用户或多站或多频应用场景中。
此外,在相关技术中,基于神经网络的压缩重构方案中,也存在一些问题需要解决,例如,一种基于深度学习的多用户下行CSI反馈方法,先是BS发送导频,UE进行信道估计得到下行CSI;之后,UE对CSI进行压缩与量化,并反馈给BS;BS收到所有UE反馈的下行CSI进行联合CSI重构;BS利用重构CSI实施预编码,同时与所有UE通信。
其中,该方案在UE侧对CSI进行压缩量化时,与单UE对单基站场景下的基础压缩重构方案是一样的,也就是在编码阶段、UE侧进行压缩时,并未考虑到多用户或者多站或多频场景下,相关信道之间的相关性。与单UE对单基站的基础压缩重构方案的区别,只在于在BS侧恢复信道时,使用了其他UE发送的CSI信息。
可见,此种基于深度学习的多用户下行CSI反馈方法,在UE侧编码时,没有考虑其他UE的存在,在编码时没有提取到更为全面的特征信息;完全寄希望于解码端可以指导编码端在压缩时去掉其他UE具有的信息,而解码端进行解码的对象为UE传输的比特流,在UE侧提取到的特征信息有限的情况下,解码端很难从中去掉其他UE具有的特征信息,增加了解码端的训练难度;并且,在解码端,也是直接寄希望于神经网络自动学习如何融合各个UE的信息,神经网络学习难度高,难以训练,训练结果难以达到预期,导致训练出的模型难以实际应用,不具备解决实际问题的能力。
此外,一些相关的基于神经网络的压缩重构方案中,让网络端到端学习哪些特征由哪个UE反馈,并在解码端将所有UE的CSI矩阵进行融合。此类方案,由于都是隐式地去除冗余特征,冗余特征与非冗余特征没有做显示区分或者区分的较为模糊,导致神经网络的学习难度大,神经网络难以学习到哪些是冗余特征,哪些是非冗余特征。如果能让神经网络显式地学习哪些特征可以是可以复用的冗余特征,哪些特征需要单独反馈,将更利于神经网络的学习和收敛,提升训练后的模型的性能。
鉴于上述方案涉及的问题或者技术需求,本申请实施例提出了一种信道状态信息压缩方法和/或重构方法,在一些实施例中可以是基于AI自编码器的相关信道(对)联合压缩重构方案,提升了自编码器压缩特征、重构CSI矩阵的能力,训练后的模型在实际应用中的泛化能力和通用性,并且模型的性能有所提升。
需要说明的是,模型性能提升的表现之一可以是,在压缩比相同的条件下可以获得更低的NMSE,即,在压缩比相同(原始CSI、压缩后的比特流之间的压缩比相同)下,重构CSI与原始CSI之间的NMSE下降。或者,在NMSE不变的情况下,实现了占用更少的通信资源完成了比特流的传输,即比特流的数据量下降,获得了更高的压缩比。
本申请实施例提供的方法,可以适用于MU、多站、多频等场景中的任一种场景多种场景。例如,可以应用于如图2所示的MU场景。图2所示的场景为j个UE对一个基站,1≤i≤j,i和j均为整数。第i个UEi对应的原始矩阵为Hi,压缩后的比特流为hi。以下说明将多以MU场景为例进行说明。
单UE信道压缩反馈的神经网络方案,在本申请实施例中定义为基础网络方案,本申请实施例提出的方法,可以适用于多UE场景,提出如何利用多个UE之间的共同特征,进一步提升压缩重构的性能,该种多UE联合压缩重构的方案,可以适配于不同的基础网络方案。例如,可以与各种基础网络方案兼容或者说结合。也就是说,本申请实施例提出的方案,可以在多UE场景下提升压缩重构性能的前提下,还可以充分发挥基础网络方案本身的优越性能。
具体地,本申请实施例提供的方法,通过显式地将CSI分为共同特征和个性化特征,其中共同特征,可以理解为多个UE对应的信道特征中的共同特征,而个性化特征可以理解为多个UE中的每个UE分别对应的信道特征中的专属特征。该方法降低了重构误差,在压缩至同样长度的bit流下,可以获得更小的NMSE。
在一些实施例中,在编码端,在显示地区分共同特征和个性化特征之后,可以通过Mask将冗余的特征置0,从而减少了需要传输的特征。在解码端,通过收集空域和/或频域邻近的信道特征,来补偿缺失的特征,最终在同样的反馈比特下,获得了更小的NMSE。
具体地,以一个基站同时为多个UE服务的场景为例,本申请实施例提供的信道状态信息压缩方法,可以基于如图3所示的系统架构执行。
在该系统架构中,在UE侧,增设Mask生成器,用于提取相关信道或者相关信道对之间的公共特征,将信道特征显示地区分为个性化特征和公共特征分别学习。
具体地,在UE侧部署的神经网络,可以简称为编码网络,编码网络至少包括编码器和Mask生成器。
为便于描述,以UE1(第一UE)为例展开说明。UE1为多个UE中的任一UE。UE1在获得原始CSI(第一CSI)矩阵之后,通过编码器对原始CSI矩阵进行编码,得到第一信道特征。第一信道特征可以理解为通过编码器提取到的信道个性化特征。
通过Mask生成器,输出掩码矩阵。需要说明的是,在一些实施例中,一个UE对应于一个专属的Mask生成器,将多个UE的信道状态信息(即原始CSI)分别输入到多个Mask生成器中,得到多个Mask矩阵U。例如,UE1对应的原始CSI,输入到UE1专属的Mask生成器中,输出UE1对应的掩码矩阵U1(第一掩码矩阵)。此种情况下,Mask生成器需要以相应的UE对应的原始CSI为输入。
或者,在其他实施例中,可以多个UE共同学习同一个掩码矩阵,直接将掩码矩阵U作为可学习的变量,多个UE只学习同一个U,此种情况下Mask生成器无需输入单个UE对应的原始CSI信息。
在得到第一信道特征和掩码矩阵U1之后,基于第一信道特征和掩码矩阵,获得第一UE对应的比特流。
掩码矩阵,用于指示掩码位置,可以利用掩码矩阵,对编码后的第一信道特征执行掩码处理,掩码处理的目的在于进一步去除信道特征中的冗余特征,减少需要传输的数据量。示例性地,利用掩码矩阵,对编码后的第一信道特征执行掩码处理,可以是计算掩码矩阵与第一信道特征矩阵的点乘,实现将第一信道特征矩阵中相应位置的元素的值置0的目的。
示例性地,基于第一信道特征和掩码矩阵,获得第一UE对应的比特流,可以是在执行掩码处理之后,继续对掩码后的第一信道特征矩阵进行量化、熵编码等操作,获得待传输的比特流。掩码操作可以去除冗余特征,冗余特征的去除,可以进一步降低待传输的数据量,获得压缩比更高的比特流。此处的压缩比,指的是原始CSI与比特流之间的压缩比。
具体地,在一些实施例中,编码器可以包括至少一个编码模块、第一处理层和第二处理层,以及与第二处理层连接的第一归一化层。例如,如图4所示,编码器包括编码模块100、编码模块101和编码模块102,以及处理层201和处理层202,以及与处理层202连接的归一化层301。其中,编码模块101至编码模块103依次串行连接,编码模块102的输出并行输入至处理层201和处理层202,处理层201的输出作为均值特征;处理层202后连接一个归一化层,经归一化处理后,得到尺度特征。
在一些实施例中,掩码生成器(Mask生成器)可以编码器共享至少一个编码模块,例如图4所示的架构中,编码器与Mask生成器共享编码模块。需要说明的是,图4所示的编码模块的数目为3仅为示例,在其他实施例中,可以适当增加或者减少编码模块的数量。
Mask生成器还包括第三处理层和与第三处理层连接的第二归一化层,至少一个编码模块的输出还并行输入至第三处理层。例如,Mask生成器包括处理层203和归一化层302,编码模块102的输出输入至处理层203,经过归一化层302之后,得到掩码矩阵。
在其他实施例中,如图5所示,Mask生成器包括专用的至少一个编码模块,例如,包括编码模块103、编码模块104和编码模块105,处理层203以及归一化层302。
其中,图4或图5中,处理层可以基于卷积层或者基于注意力(attention)机制的至少一层实现。例如,处理层201至203均为卷积层。归一化层301或者归一化层302,可以基于sigmoid函数实现。
示例性地,一个编码模块可以采用如图6所示的架构设计。例如,一个编码模块可以包括卷积层1001,归一化层1002和PReLU层1003。其中,归一化层1002,具体可以是批归一化层。在其他实施例中,激活函数PReLU(Parametric Rectified Linear Unit),可以替换为Leaky ReLU、ELU(Exponential Linear Unit)或者Maxout。
基于上述网络架构,可以采用如下方式,确定UE1对应的第一信道特征:
通过编码器,输出均值特征和尺度特征,例如处理层201的输出即为均值特征,归一化层301的输出即为尺度特征。然后,根据均值特征、尺度特征和第一参数矩阵,得到UE1对应的第一信道特征。第一参数矩阵,为服从稀疏分布的矩阵,例如,第一参数矩阵可以服从多元拉普拉斯分布,从多元标准拉普拉斯分布中采样得到一个矩阵L,也就是说,矩阵L中的每个元素都服从标准拉普拉斯分布。
例如,其中M表示第一信道特征,表示均值特征(具体可以是均值特征矩阵),为尺度特征(具体可以是尺度特征矩阵),L为第一参数矩阵。
需要说明的是,第一参数矩阵不限于服从拉普拉斯分布,例如,在其他实施例中,还可以服从正态分布或β分布等稀疏分布。
得到第一信道特征之后,接下来,根据第一信道特征和掩码矩阵,得到掩码后的隐层特征。例如,计算第一信道特征和掩码矩阵的点乘,得到隐层特征,之后,对隐层特征做量化、熵编码等操作后,得到比特流。
掩码矩阵的作用在于将信道特征矩阵中相应位置的元素置0,通过点乘操作,可以实现掩码。
本申请实施例中,在对编码网络以及解码网络进行训练的阶段,在编码网络一侧,损失函数包括信道特征对应的部分损失和掩码矩阵对应的部分损失,为便于描述,两部分损失分别定义为第一损失和第二损失。第一损失,基于输出的第一信道特征获得,第二损失,基于掩码矩阵获得。训练阶段,可以根据损失函数的值,不断优化编码器和掩码生成器中的可训练参数。
示例性地,可以采用如下方式分别确定第一损失:
确定第一先验分布。第一先验分布可以是拉普拉斯分布、正态分布、β分布等稀疏分布中的一种;例如,第一先验分布为拉普拉斯分布。
接下来,基于KL散度损失函数,计算第一信道特征对应的第一分布与第一先验分布之间的距离,获得第一损失。
示例性地,可以采用如下方式确定第二损失:
确定第二先验分布。与第一先验分布类似地,第二先验分布可以是拉普拉斯分布、正态分布、β分布等稀疏分布中的一种;例如,第二先验分布为拉普拉斯分布。
接下来,基于KL散度损失函数,计算掩码矩阵对应的第二分布与第二先验分布之间的距离,获得第二损失。
得到第一损失和第二损失之后,可以得到编码网络对应的损失函数。
接下来,对BS侧展开说明。
在BS侧,部署有解码网络。解码网络包括解码器和共同特征提取器,还可以包括公共信道生成器。
在MU场景下,多个UE上传的比特流经解量化等操作之后,得到多个第二信道特征,将多个UE对应的多个第二信道特征,输入至公共特征提取器,输出公共特征;需要说明的是,本申请实施例提供的方案比较典型的适用场景为MU、多站或者多频场景,也可以应用于单UE场景,即在一些实施例中,公共特征提取器的输入可以是一个UE对应的信道特征。如此,基于至少一个UE对应的至少一个第二信道特征,获得公共特征。
得到公共特征之后,在一些实施例中,可以采用如下方式一或方式二,实现基于公共特征和至少一个UE分别对应的第二信道特征,获得至少一个UE分别对应的第二CSI:
方式一:将公共特征和至少一个UE对应的至少一个第二信道特征(未经解码),输入至解码器,经过解码器解码,得到解码后的CSI(为防止混淆,定义为第二CSI)。
方式二:将第一UE对应的第二信道特征输入至解码器,输出解码后的第二信道特征,然后,将公共特征和解码后的第二信道特征,再次输入至第一UE对应的解码器,通过解码器,获得第一UE对应的第二CSI。
可选的,解码网络还包括公共信道生成器,公共特征输入至公共信道生成器,输出公共CSI,然后,根据公共信道状态信息和各UE分别对应的第二CSI,获得各UE分别对应的重构CSI。例如,将公共CSI添加到第二CSI中,得到重构CSI(第三CSI)。
如此,第二CSI是通过对第二信道特征和公共特征进行解码后得到,其中第二信道特征为各UE上传的比特流进行解量化等操作后得到,可以理解为个性化信道特征。公共特征是基于多个UE的信道特征提取出的多个信道的共有特征,在解码时,将特征显示地分为个性化特征和公共特征进行提取,然后再解码,使模型在训练阶段更易学习,提高训练出的模型的解码性能。
此外,结合公共信道生成器,进一步根据公共特征提取公共信道状态信息,即提取公共CSI,再将公共CSI添加到第二CSI中,得到的重构CSI既包含了个性化信道状态信息,还包含公共信道状态信息,还原度更高,相比于原始CSI,NMSE更小。
下面列举一个具体实施例。
本实施例中,整体流程可以基于数据采集模块、预处理模块、编码网络和解码网络等多个模块或网络架构实现,主体处理流程可以包括数据采集、预处理、编码和解码。
示例性地,本实施例采用无线信道模型COST2100产生的数据集,通过离散傅里叶变换(Discrete Fourier Transform,DFT)、矩阵截取等预处理步骤,得到稀疏的CSI矩阵,然后将稀疏的CSI矩阵送入到本申请实施例方案提出的核心网络架构中,得到重构的稀疏CSI矩阵,最后通过后处理步骤还原回原始的CSI矩阵。示例性地,核心网络架构如图7所示,本实施例中对CSI矩阵进行编码和解码等过程,可以基于图7所示的核心网络架构执行。
具体地,本实施例中,数据采集阶段,信道模型采用COST2100公开数据模型,中心频点取2.6GHz,基于非视域(Non-line-of-sight,NLOS)场景,一共有20个UE随机分布在5m*5m的范围内。设置子带数Nc=1024,BS端的发射天线数Nt=32,UE端的接受天线数为1。将生成的原始CSI矩阵记为H,H为维度为1024×32的复数矩阵。
在完成数据采集之后,后续流程可以包括如下步骤:
S801,将原始CSI矩阵H转为稀疏CSI矩阵X。
原始矩阵转换为稀疏矩阵的过程,可以通过预处理模块执行。
示例性地,具体转换方式可以如下:
将H输入到二维DFT中,得到角度-时延域的稀疏矩阵H′:
其中,Fc均为DFT矩阵,中上标的H代表取共轭转置。H′为维度为1024×32的复数矩阵。
由于多径到达时间具有延迟,H′只有前32行有值,其余行均为0。因此,可以取H′的前32行,得到维度为32×32的复数矩阵,再将32×32的复数矩阵的实部和虚部单独作为一个维度,得到稀疏的CSI矩阵X,其维度为32×32×2。
在得到稀疏CSI矩阵X之后,将稀疏CSI矩阵输入至编码网络,通过编码网络,将稀疏CSI矩阵X编码为比特流。基于编码网络执行的操作具体可以包括步骤802至804。
S802,将多个UE对应的多个稀疏CSI矩阵X,分别输入到各UE的编码器中,得到多个压缩后的特征M。
如图7所示,编码网络包括编码器和Mask生成器。
以MU场景为例,经过预处理,得到了K个UE对应的k个稀疏CSI矩阵,分别为X1,X2…XK。将X1,X2…XK输入到K个编码器(Encoder)中,输出K个压缩后的特征分别为M1,M2…MK
S803,将多个UE对应的多个稀疏CSI矩阵X,分别输入到Mask生成器,得到多个掩码矩阵U。
例如,在本实施例中,将各UE的稀疏CSI矩阵X作为Mask生成器的输入,例如,X1,X2…XK分别对应输入到K个Mask生成器中,分别输出U1,U2…UK
需要说明的是,在其他实施例中,可以直接将U作为可学习的变量,多个UE共同学习同一个U,这种情况下Mask生成器无需输入稀疏CSI矩阵X。可以理解为,多个UE共享相同的mask生成器中的参数,多个UE中训练出的Mask生成器中的可训练参数是一致的。
示例性地,在本实施例中,编码器可以基于卷积神经网络(Convolutional Neural Network,CNN)实现,将X输入到基于全卷积网络实现的编码器,例如,编码器可以包括3个卷积模块,每个卷积模块包括一层CNN、一层批归一化层以及一层PReLU非线性层。
示例性地,在本实施例中,编码器Encoder和Mask生成器的具体架构设计可以如图9所示。其中,编码器包括3个编码模块(即卷积模块),分别为编码模块100a,编码模块101a和编码模块102a,3个编码模块串行连接。其中,编码模块100a包括卷积层1001,批归一化层10021和PReLU层1003;编码模块101a包括卷积层1011,批归一化层1012和PReLU层1013;编码模块102a包括卷积层1021,批归一化层1022和PReLU层1023。卷积层1001、卷积层1011、卷积层1021的卷积核大小分别为9×9、5×5、5×5,对于卷积操作之后可能存在的输出特征的维度不同的问题,可以通过零填充的方式,使得卷积操作之后维度保持不变。
接着,将3个编码模块输出的特征并行送入到3个卷积层中,例如并行送入到卷积层2011、卷积层2021和卷积层2031中。示例性地,3个卷积层的卷积核大小均为5×5。
经过卷积层2011得到的输出,即为均值矩阵均值矩阵为均值特征的一种数据形式。卷积层2021之后连接一个Sigmoid层3011,卷积层2021的输出经过Sigmoid函数,得到尺度矩阵尺度矩阵为尺度特征的一种数据形式。尺度矩阵和均值矩阵这两个矩阵的维度均为32×32×2。卷积层2031之后连接一个Sigmoid层3011,卷积层2031的输出经过Sigmoid函数,得到Mask矩阵U,U的维度为32×32×1。
在S802中,在得到尺度矩阵和均值矩阵之后,采用如下方式确定M:
从多元标准拉普拉斯分布中采样得到一个矩阵L,也就是说,矩阵L中的每个元素都服从标准拉普拉斯分布,利用重参数化技巧,得到隐层特征矩阵M(维度同样为32×32×2):
需要说明的是,上述S802与S803在执行时序上并无先后限定,可以并行执行,也可以先后执行,S803可以在S802之前或者之后执行。
S804,根据隐层特征矩阵M和掩码矩阵,得到掩码后的隐层特征矩阵。
在本实施例中,示例性地,执行Mask矩阵(即掩码矩阵)U与特征M的点乘运算,得到掩码后的隐层特征矩阵M′(图7未示出):
M′=M*U
将M′输入到量化器,得到特征再执行熵编码等操作之后,得到反馈比特流。
需要说明的是,训练阶段与测试阶段(应用阶段),得到的量化方式会有不同。
示例性地,本实施例中,在训练阶段,可以从[-0.5,0.5]的均匀分布中采样得到矩阵ΔM,令
在测试阶段,对M′进行b维的均匀量化,得到量化后的例如,将[0,1]区间b等分,M′中的每个元素落在哪一个区间,就用落入的区间的中心点代替。
本申请实施例提出的方法中,在训练阶段,可以有两个优化目标:
优化目标一:
以基础模型(编码器)中的可训练参数为优化目标:通过优化神经网络的参数使得隐层特征矩阵M中的元素均服从均值为0,尺度为λ的拉普拉斯分布。
在本实施例中,选择拉普拉斯分布作为先验分布,用于控制稀疏程度。
在计算损失时,可以计算当前隐层特征服从的分布与先验分布这两个分布之间的KL散度损失函数(Kullback-Leibler Divergence,KLD),作为encoder部分的Loss(损失值):
具体可以令为隐层特征M的分布,p(M)表示M的先验分布,则有:


其中,λ为超参数,可以严格控制M的熵,从而控制比特流的长度。j代表隐层特征矩阵M中的元素序号。Lap表示拉普拉斯分布。
根据以上的公式分别计算出各个UE的Loss,最后相加。得到多个UE对应的总的损失函数的值,根据总的Loss,优化编码器中的可训练参数。
优化目标二:
第二个目标为多UE场景下Mask生成器中的可训练参数。
假设Mask矩阵U中的每个元素也服从一个稀疏分布,此处同样选择拉普拉斯分布,仍然表示需要优化的网络参数,令当前U的均值为μU,尺度为bU,用表示当前U的分布,p(U)表示U的先验分布,有:
则Loss为:
其中,l为U中的元素的序号,λU为超参数,可以控制U的稀疏程度。
综上,可以得到:
Lossencoder=Lossencoder,U+Lossencoder,M
在训练阶段,根据损失函数的值,调节编码网络中的可训练参数,直至模型收敛。获得性能符合预期的,模型之后,在测试阶段,将输入到熵编码中得到比特流。比特流传输到BS端后,经解码得到得到重构CSI。
下面对BS侧的解码过程展开示例性描述。
S805,将多个UE对应的多个一起输入到公共特征提取器中,得到公共特征s。
如图7所示,为在BS侧执行解量化操作之后得到的特征。
公共特征提取的输入为K个UE对应的K个一起输入至公共特征提取器,通过共同特征提取器输出的特征作为公共特征s。公共特征s的维度为32×32×4,其中4为超参数,可以设置。
S806,将各UE的与公共特征s一起输入到解码器(Decoder),得到各自的信道
例如,s和一起输入Encoder,得到以此类推,得到
即解码后得到的个性化的信道状态信息,即第二CSI。
S807,将公共特征s输入到公共信道生成器中,得到公共信道Hcommon
本实施例中,示例性地,公共信道Hcommon的维度为32×32×2。公共信道,即公共信道状态信息,即公共CSI。
S808,将公共信道Hcommon分别加到各自的信道中,得到作为最终的重构CSI。
如图7所示,公共CSI分别添加到各个UE对应的中,得到
需要说明的是,解码器Decoder,公共特征提取器,和/或,公共信道生成器,可以基于CNN或attention机制实现,或者基于CNN与attention组合实现。下面列举基于CNN实现的示例。
如图10所示,公共特征提取器,可以包括卷积层401、两个残差模块和卷积层404,两个残差模块分别为残差模块402和残差模块403。残差模块402可以包括卷积层4021和卷积层4022,残差模块403可以包括卷积层4031和卷积层4032。残差模块中的各个卷积层的卷积核的大小可以是5×5。
首先,将输入到卷积层401,卷积层401的卷积核大小可以是5×5,接着将输出拷贝两份,其中一份输入到残差模块402,之后,残差模块402的输出与残差模块402的输入相加,相加之后输入至残差模块403,残差模块403的输出与卷积层401的另一份输出相加。残差模块403的输出再经过一个5×5的卷积层404,即可得到输出,即得到公共特征s。
公共信道生成器可以采用与公共特征提取器相同或者不同的网络架构。
解码器(Decoder)与公共特征提取器的内部网络架构可以相同也可以不相同,解码器可以在公共提取器基础上进行适当调整。在本实施例中,解码器可以采用与公共特征提取器相同的架构,得到32×32×16的输出,其中16为超参数,然后把解码器的输出和公共s在通道维度连接(contact)起来,得到32×32×(16+4)的输出,再输入到Decoder中,得到个性化信道Hindividual,维度为32×32×2。
之后,将Hindividual与Hcommon逐元素相加,得到最终的重构稀疏CSI矩阵。然后,根据重构稀疏CSI矩阵计算重构LOSS,例如,在本实施例中,可以选择均方差损失函数(Mean Squared Error,MSE)或者KLD Loss作为解码一侧的损失函数。
在BS一侧还可以部署后处理模块,用于将重构稀疏CSI矩阵转为原始CSI矩阵。
例如,在本实施例中,后处理的具体步骤如下:
重新组成32×32的复数矩阵,并补上全0行,得到维度为1024×32的复数矩阵,该矩阵只有32行的元素可以非0。
其中,为多个UE的重构组合得到。
将该矩阵输入到二维逆向DFT中,得到重构的空频域的CSI矩阵。
本申请上述实施例支持在单UE的AI信道压缩重构算法上添加多UE方案。如图11a和图11b所示的两个表格,图11a为不同压缩率下的2个UE场景下表现的性能,图11b为不同压缩率下的3个UE场景下表现的性能。其中,bitrate为比特率,compression rate为压缩率或压缩比,correlation为准确度。
再如图12所示,图12为MU场景下2个UE以及3个UE条件下实施本申请实施例提出的方案得到的NMSE与单UE对比图。其中,NMSE越小性能越好,在bit rate相同的情况下,2个UE和3个UE都获得了更好的性能。其中,MU 2UE,表示MU场景下有2个UE;MU 3UE,表示MU场景下有3个UE。
根据以上实施例的示例性说明,可以看出,本申请实施例提出的方案,可以应用于具有相关性(共同特征)的多个信道数据的压缩、量化、反馈和重构。具体可以首先建立Massive MIMO下行链路系统模型,通过该模型采集信道数据,然后将数据输入神经网络,每个UE的神经网络包括参数都是相同的,UE之间不进行交互。最后,每个UE各自将压缩量化后的比特流发送给基站,基站利用多个UE的CSI反馈信息重构出多个UE的信道。例如,首先建立Massive MIMO链路仿真系统,然后在UE侧获得CSI矩阵,通过编码模块,根据CSI矩阵计算比特流;之后,在BS侧,通过解码模块,收集多个UE的比特流,联合重构CSI矩阵。
综上,本申请实施例提出了一种针对相关信道对的、基于AI自编码器的联合压缩重构方案,可以进行冗余信息的剔除,包括空间中临近的多UE、多基站信道,以及频域上临近的多频信道,具体分析,本申请实施例至少在如下方面做出了改进,并取得了相应的技术效果:
1、利用Mask对编码器提取出的特征进行筛选,降低特征之间的冗余。
相关技术中的encoder网络,一般单UE的方案是一样的,本申请实施例提出直接显式地去除隐层特征中的冗余:在encoder处即会考虑多UE,通过Mask矩阵将不必要的特征置为0;提出了一种新的编码器结构,不仅仅输出特征,还输出掩码矩阵来控制哪些特征属于冗余信息,可以丢弃。
如此,在编码端显式进行冗余特征的去除,用Mask矩阵将冗余特征置0,这样获得的特征稀疏性更明显,具有更小的熵,因而能在同样的压缩比下,获得更小的重构损失。
为了防止平凡解,在编码阶段,还设计了Mask的先验分布,对其稀疏程度进行控制。
2、在解码时,对相关信道的特征进行联合处理,提取公共特征(s)和公共信道(Hcommon),并把公共特征也输入解码器中,重构个性化信道:
具体提出将信道分解为个性化信道和公共信道两个部分,通过个性化特征和公共特征分别重构信道,最后融合得到最终的重构信道。相比于相关技术,本申请实施例提出的方案将信道分解成了两个部分进行重构。如此,在重构公共信道时,无需考虑个性化特征,而重构个性化信道时,免除了公共特征的干扰。相比于直接学习一个融合后的信道,网络学习的难度相对降低。
本申请实施例设计一种新的解码器网络,使其同时输入UE本身的特征和公共特征来计算个性化信道;即,将信道分解为公共信道和个性化信道两个部分:公共信道代表了环境中的共同信息,属于低频背景信息。
如此,在公共信道上叠加个性化信道,相当于补全细节、高频信息,可以同时兼顾两种信息,从而获得更小的重构损失。
并且,相比于基于专家经验的白盒算法,本申请实施例方案延续了神经网络的方案,还提升了泛化性和通用性:将单UE基础方案很好地扩展到了多UE方案,可以适配到任意的神经网络基础方案,并且不需要满足一系列假设条件,对于实际应用环境的适应性较强。
