Abstract:

Aiming at the problem that the existing channel state information (CSI) feedback scheme based on deep learning (DL) can only perform compression feedback at a fixed compression rate (CR), a CSI feedback scheme for dynamically adjusting CR based on model pruning is proposed. Firstly, a residual channel characteristic attention (RCCA) mechanism is designed, and a CSI feedback network RCCA-Net is built, which makes full use of the amplitude-phase dependence relationship between the real parts and imaginary parts of the complex channel matrix to further improve CSI feedback-reconstruction quality. Secondly, the model RCCA-Prune is designed to dynamically adjust the CR, which uses the $\ell^2 $ norm to evaluate the contribution of each neuron to the final result, and deletes the neurons with less contribution through the model structured pruning technology to realize the dynamic adjustment of the compression rate. The simulation results show that the proposed dynamic adjustment CR scheme has better feedback performance under different CR, and has good generalization in different test environments.
