CQNet: Complex Input Quantized Neural Network designed for Massive MIMO CSI Feedback
share
The Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system is a core technology of the next generation communication. With the growing complexity of CSI in massive MIMO system, traditional compressive sensing based CSI feedback has become a bottleneck problem that is limited in piratical. Recently, numerous deep learning based CSI feedback approaches demonstrate the efficiency and potential. However, the existing methods lack a reasonable interpretation of the deep learning model and the accuracy of the model decreases significantly as the CSI compression rate increases. In this paper, from the intrinsic properties of CSI data itself, we devised the corresponding deep learning building blocks to compose a novel neural network CQNet and experiment result shows CQNet outperform the state-of-the-art method with less computational overhead by achieving an average performance improvement of 8.07 paper also investigates the reasons for the decrease in model accuracy at large compression rates and proposes a strategy to embed a quantization layer to achieve effective compression, by which the original accuracy loss of 67.19 average is reduced to 21.96 by 8 times on the original benchmark.
