Abstract:
Channel state information (CSI) is a critical part for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. However, it is a big challenge to send a large amount of CSI from the receiver to the transmitter with limited channel resources. In this letter, we propose asymmetric convolution-based autoencoder framework (ACCsiNet) to handle the CSI compression and decompression problem. Specifically, asymmetric convolution block (AC-Block) is used to enhance the feature extraction ability of convolution. Further, a lightweight method is applied, which can greatly reduce the storage space at the receiver. Considering the practical deployment, multi-model fusion schemes including multi-rate and multi-scenario fusion are also discussed to strengthen the generalization ability of the network. Experimental results show that the proposed ACCsiNet can improve the NMSE and cosine similarity \rho performance, especially for outdoor scenario. The results also verify that both the lightweight and multi-model fusion schemes can reach a near-optimal performance of the proposed ACCsiNet, but further significantly reduce the parameter amount by more than 83% and 90%, respectively.
