近年來，人工智能（Artificial Intelligence，AI）在信號(hào)處理、信道估計(jì)、編碼設(shè)計(jì)等通信領(lǐng)域取得了重大突破，打破了傳統(tǒng)通信系統(tǒng)的設(shè)計(jì)瓶頸，作為一項(xiàng)突破性技術(shù)使得智能通信成為未來通信系統(tǒng)研究的熱門方向之一。基于深度學(xué)習(xí)（Deep Learning，DL）的信道狀態(tài)信息（Channel State Information，CSI）反饋技術(shù)因其突出的性能優(yōu)勢(shì)得到了廣泛關(guān)注，但目前相關(guān)研究?jī)H使用模擬生成的數(shù)據(jù)集來訓(xùn)練和測(cè)試，無法保證AI算法在實(shí)際通信系統(tǒng)中仍然具有良好的性能。

為了探索AI在通信系統(tǒng)中的實(shí)際性能，鵬城實(shí)驗(yàn)室等單位組織了全國(guó)人工智能大賽（NAIC）“AI+無線通信”賽道，初賽賽題為“基于AI的無線通信信道的壓縮及恢復(fù)”。本文詳細(xì)描述了該比賽的信道數(shù)據(jù)采集過程，同時(shí)為該比賽提供了一個(gè)基于DL的CSI反饋參考架構(gòu)：QuanCsiNet，實(shí)現(xiàn)了真實(shí)信道場(chǎng)景采集的高維信道數(shù)據(jù)的壓縮、量化、反饋和重建，為AI在未來通信系統(tǒng)中的實(shí)際部署和使用奠定了基礎(chǔ)。

真實(shí)信道場(chǎng)景為圖1所示的辦公室場(chǎng)景，發(fā)射機(jī)在圖中所示位置固定，接收機(jī)沿紅點(diǎn)軌跡運(yùn)動(dòng)。對(duì)測(cè)量得到的真實(shí)信道數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行圖2所示的預(yù)處理，得到最終使用的數(shù)據(jù)集。

圖2 實(shí)測(cè)信道數(shù)據(jù)處理流程

QuanCsiNet的網(wǎng)絡(luò)結(jié)構(gòu)如下圖所示。編碼器用于對(duì)CSI進(jìn)行特征提取和壓縮，量化模塊用于將壓縮測(cè)量值用有限位表示，轉(zhuǎn)化為比特流便于實(shí)際系統(tǒng)存儲(chǔ)和傳輸；逆量化模塊用于將比特流恢復(fù)成壓縮測(cè)量值，譯碼器用于特征解壓縮和信道恢復(fù)。

具體來說，文章

• 首次針對(duì)實(shí)測(cè)信道數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行處理，提出了一種真實(shí)信道場(chǎng)景下的CSI反饋架構(gòu)，為后續(xù)研究提供了可擴(kuò)展的參考設(shè)計(jì)。

• 引入了量化和逆量化模塊，將反饋測(cè)量值轉(zhuǎn)化為比特流，符合實(shí)際系統(tǒng)存儲(chǔ)傳輸要求。

• 評(píng)估了基于DL的CSI反饋方案在實(shí)際信道環(huán)境中的性能，推動(dòng)后續(xù)研究和實(shí)際部署。

整體而言，本文對(duì)真實(shí)信道場(chǎng)景下采集的信道數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行處理，設(shè)計(jì)了一種以比特流形式進(jìn)行反饋的基于DL的CSI反饋架構(gòu)，并衡量了其重建性能與復(fù)雜度，以期更多研究者為智能通信的實(shí)際應(yīng)用作出貢獻(xiàn)。
