Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of wireless communications and relates to a signal reconstruction technology for processing unknown information distribution based on an empirical Bayesian method. Background Art

[0002] Signal processing and information transmission are core technologies in wireless communication systems. However, due to the complexities of real-world environments, such as multipath, interference, and noise, received signals are often subject to various interferences and distortions. These factors significantly impact the performance of communication systems, especially in environments with weak signals or high noise levels.

[0003] Traditional signal estimation methods for the generalized linear model y = Hx + w include the more common generalized approximate message passing (GAMP) and generalized expectation consistent signal recovery (GEC-SR). GAMP and GEC-SR are two advanced algorithms widely used for signal recovery in large-scale linear systems. These algorithms offer significant advantages in solving problems such as sparse signal recovery and compressed sensing. However, the performance of GAMP and GEC in practical applications depends heavily on the signal's prior information and the characteristics of transition probabilities. Transition probabilities characterize the statistical properties of the intermediate variables Hx and the observation vector y. If the prior information and transition probabilities are unknown or inaccurate, the algorithm's recovery performance will be significantly reduced. These algorithms typically rely on pre-determined signal models and the distribution of transition probabilities. However, in practical applications, the true characteristics of the signal and transition probability distributions may not be fully understood, resulting in reduced estimation accuracy or even inability to estimate the signal. Therefore, accurately estimating signals under unknown prior information and transition probabilities has become an important research topic.

[0004] The empirical Bayesian approach provides an adaptive signal estimation method by using observed data to estimate the signal's prior distribution and transition probability distribution. Compared to traditional Bayesian methods, the empirical Bayesian approach does not require prior knowledge of the signal's prior distribution. Instead, it infers the prior distribution and transition probabilities from the data itself, making it more adaptable to the complex environments of practical applications.

[0005] This paper, based on the empirical Bayesian approach, adaptively estimates the signal's prior distribution and transition probabilities and applies this method to the GAMP and GEC-SR algorithms. This approach significantly improves signal recovery accuracy and system robustness without relying on pre-set prior information and transition probabilities. This provides an efficient solution for signal processing in complex wireless communication environments. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to address the problem in wireless communication systems where the GAMP and GEC-SR algorithms cannot recover signals when the signal prior distribution and transition probability characteristics are unknown. By introducing an adaptive estimation method based on empirical Bayesian methods, the present invention solves the problem of signal recovery even in the presence of unknown signal prior distribution and transition probability, thereby improving the accuracy of signal estimation and the robustness of the system.

[0007] The present invention proposes a signal prior distribution and transition probability estimation method based on the empirical Bayesian method, and applies it to the GAMP and GEC algorithms. The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] 1. For the problem of unknown transition probability in the generalized linear model, a transition probability model based on empirical Bayesian estimation is established to obtain the transition probability of the generalized linear model.

[0009] 2. Based on the transition probability estimated in step 1 and the state update equations of GAMP and GEC-SR, a scalar model is obtained. A probability model based on the empirical Bayesian estimation prior can be established to obtain the prior distribution of the unknown signal.

[0010] 3. Incorporating the Empirical Bayesian Estimation transition probability model and the Empirical Bayesian Estimation prior probability model into the GAMP or GEC algorithm for signal recovery. The algorithm iteratively calculates and continuously updates the signal estimate until convergence conditions are reached, accurately recovering the original signal.

[0011] Furthermore, the step 1 is specifically as follows:

[0012] 1.1 Empirical Bayesian estimation is an approach that combines Bayesian and frequentist statistical methods. In Bayesian statistics, parameters are typically considered random variables with a prior distribution. The core idea of ​​the empirical Bayesian approach is to infer or estimate the prior distribution from observed data without fully knowing it.

[0013] The empirical Bayes model is as follows:

[0014] X i =αΘ i +Ω i,i=1,…,K

[0015] Where α is the unknown channel coefficient, which combines the effects of channel fading and residual phase offset. Since the role of α is to rotate and scale the signal constellation, it is assumed that α = 1 without loss of generality. i} is a sequence composed of observation values, {Θ i} is a sequence of signals that are independent and identically distributed, {Ω i} is an independent and identically distributed sample sequence.

[0016] In the empirical Bayes model, for the unknown probability density g(θ) (which may be a discrete distribution), it has generated an unobservable random sample of independent realizations.

[0017]

[0018] Each Θ i From p i (X i |Θ i ) generates independent observations X i ,

[0019]

[0020] Edge density f i (X i ) is the previous g and p i The Bayesian deconvolution problem is to recover the probability density of g from these data.

[0021] f(x)=∫ T p(x|θ)g(θ)dθ

[0022] The prior density g(θ) may usually be a mixture of discrete and continuous distributions. For ease of explanation and calculation, assume that the sample space T of parameter Θ is finite and discrete T = (θ (1) ,θ (2) ,…,θ (t) )

[0023] where Θ i The sample set T is T, and g(θ) is estimated from the observations X. The process of selecting T can be determined through numerical experiments. Specifically, the range of T can be varied or the degree of refinement between samples can be adjusted to see whether these changes significantly affect the estimated prior distribution g(θ). If a wider range or finer samples are found to significantly improve the accuracy of the prior estimate, then it makes sense to adjust these parameters. For the number of samples t in T, it is found that increasing t does not bring significant benefits. Therefore, when choosing the number of support points t, it is generally not necessary to pursue extremely high precision.

[0024] Same X i The observation sample space φ is also assumed to be finite and discrete,

[0025] φ=(x (1) ,x (2) ,…,x (α) )

[0026] For X i The discretization of the observation sample space does not pose a restriction, because φ can be regarded as X i All order statistics of the values. Whether for discrete or continuous data, the sample space φ and the range T can be defined by appropriate methods without being troubled by practical limitations. This flexibility allows the model settings to be adjusted as needed in practical applications.

[0027] The priori g(θ) is represented by a vector g=(g1,g2,…,g t ) T , similarly, the marginal probability f(x) vector is represented as f=(f1,f2,…,f α ) T In vector g and vector f, the sum of their elements is 1.

[0028] Let p kj =P{X=x (k) |Θ=θ (j)}, where p kj represents the elements in row k and column j, which usually represent the transition from discrete state θ (j) to the observed value x (k) The convolution relationship between g(θ) and f(x) can be expressed as

[0029]

[0030] Define a matrix P of dimension α×t = (p kj ), according to the above convolution relationship, it can be transformed into matrix multiplication

[0031] f=Pg

[0032] Empirical Bayesian modeling is divided into g-model and f-model. This article mainly discusses the g-model, assuming that the prior distribution g belongs to a p-parameter exponential family on T, which can be expressed in discrete form as:

[0033]

[0034] Where g(θ) is the prior distribution to be estimated, which represents the probability distribution of the parameter θ. p) is the natural parameter vector of the model, which contains p parameters, which determine the specific form of the exponential family. j (θ) is a sufficient statistic defined on θ. A(η) is a normalization constant. Further rewriting the above equation into the following vector form,

[0035] g(θ)=e Qη / c(η)

[0036] Q is a t×p matrix, where t is the number of discrete points in the sample space T and p is the number of model parameters. This matrix is ​​often used to describe the relationship between the sample space T and the parameters θ. c(θ) is a normalization constant.

[0037] 1.2 In a massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) system, assuming that the base station is equipped with m receiving antennas and the user end is equipped with n transmitting antennas, its generalized linear model can be expressed as

[0038] y=Hx+w

[0039] Let z = Hx, where is the m-dimensional observation vector, is the observation matrix, H is the independent and identically distributed channel matrix N(0,1 / n) obeys independent synchronous distribution, For the n-dimensional target signal to be estimated, the probability distribution of w mainly describes the statistical characteristics of the intermediate variable z and the observation vector y. The transition probability model based on empirical Bayesian estimation is as follows:

[0040] y=z+w

[0041] Where w is the transition probability to be estimated. By processing the signal at the sending end so that its mean is 0 and its variance is 1, the distribution of z is a known Gaussian distribution. Based on the above model combined with empirical Bayesian estimation, the transition probability can be estimated.

[0042] Furthermore, the step 2 is specifically as follows:

[0043] The state evolution equation (SE) is an analytical tool that can be used to predict the performance of an algorithm. It is used to understand and predict how iterative algorithms (such as GAMP and GEC-SR) converge in high-dimensional data. The SE equation provides a description of the algorithm's asymptotic behavior, especially when the data dimension tends to infinity. In the literature related to GAMP and GEC-SR, SE is used to track the evolution of the estimation error to analyze the performance of the algorithm. From the perspective of understanding, here is an analysis of SE from the matching case. In the GAMP and GEC-SR algorithms, a probability distribution similar to the following will appear

[0044]

[0045] where p X (x) is the prior distribution of the signal, is a Gaussian distribution, whose expectation x - and variance is v - This is the information obtained in the previous stage of the algorithm.

[0046] The mean square error (MSE) of the above estimate can be expressed as

[0047]

[0048] where the expectation is the probability p(x|x - ). The minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimated signal is expressed as

[0049]

[0050] In large-scale systems, replacing some variables with equivalent scalar models yields

[0051]

[0052] Where X~p X (x).

[0053] Based on the scalar model derived from the state update equation above, a probability model based on empirical Bayesian estimation priors is established in combination with empirical Bayesian estimation to obtain the prior distribution of the unknown signal. The established empirical Bayesian estimation transition probability model and the probability model based on empirical Bayesian estimation priors are incorporated into the GAMP or GEC-SR algorithm for signal recovery.

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of the present invention are:

[0055] Traditional GAMP and GEC-SR algorithms typically rely on preset signal prior distribution and transition probability models. However, in practical applications, the assumptions of these models are often inaccurate, resulting in unsatisfactory signal recovery. The present invention adaptively estimates the signal prior distribution and transition probability through the empirical Bayesian method. Prior information can be dynamically acquired, and more realistic prior information can be dynamically acquired without the need for a preset model, significantly improving the accuracy of signal recovery.

[0056] By introducing the empirical Bayesian method, the present invention realizes adaptive estimation of signal prior distribution and transition probability without the need for a preset model, significantly improving the signal recovery accuracy and system robustness of the GAMP and GEC-SR algorithms in complex environments, reducing dependence on prior models, optimizing computational efficiency, and providing effective technical support for performance improvement of wireless communication systems.

This patent focuses on recovering the signal when two important information are missing, and this patent also further improves the application scope of signal recovery.

The algorithm iteratively updates the signal estimate until convergence is achieved, accurately recovering the original signal.

The figure shows the performance of GAMP-eb when both the signal prior and transition probabilities are unknown based on empirical Bayesian estimation. The figure shows the performance of GAMP-eb-n when the transition probabilities are unknown but the prior is known based on empirical Bayesian estimation. The figure shows the performance of GAMP when both the signal prior and transition probabilities are known. LS shows the performance when the least squares method is used. The results show that while the least squares method does not require priors and transition probabilities, it fails in this case. However, the generalized approximate message passing algorithm EB-GAMP, based on empirical Bayesian estimation, not only reconstructs the signal but also demonstrates excellent performance.

[0088] S9: Combining the Empirical Bayesian approach with the GEC-SR algorithm allows for effective signal recovery in the absence of prior signal knowledge and transition probability information. The core idea of ​​this approach is to use Empirical Bayesian to estimate the signal's prior distribution and state transition probabilities based on S8 and S9, and then use these estimates as input to the GEC-SR algorithm to iteratively update the signal estimate.

Each Θ i From p i (X i |Θ i ) generates independent observations X i , Edge density f i (X i ) is the previous g and p i The Bayesian deconvolution problem is to recover the probability density of g from these data. f(x)=∫ T p(x∣θ)g(θ)dθ The prior density g(θ) is a mixture of discrete distribution and continuous distribution. For the convenience of explanation and calculation, it is assumed that the sample space T of parameter θ is finite and discrete. T=(θ (1) ,i (2) ,…,θ (t) ) where Θ i The sample set is T, and g(θ) is estimated from the observation value X. The process of selecting T is determined by some numerical experiments. Specifically, by changing the range of T or adjusting the degree of refinement between samples, we observe whether these changes significantly affect the estimated prior distribution g(θ); t represents the number of samples; Same X i The observation sample space φ is also assumed to be finite and discrete, φ=(x (1) ,x (2) ,…,x (α) ) Among them, for X i The discretization of the observation sample space does not pose a restriction, because φ can be regarded as X i All order statistics for the values.

4. The signal reconstruction method for processing unknown information distribution based on the empirical Bayesian method according to claim 3, characterized in that: Establishing an empirical Bayesian estimation model to estimate probability distribution includes the following steps: The priori g(θ) is represented by a vector g=(g1,g2,…,g t ) T , similarly, the marginal probability f(x) vector is represented as f=(f1,f2,…,f α ) T , in vector g and vector f, the sum of their elements is 1, Let p kj =P{X=x (k) |Θ=θ (j) }, where p kj represents the elements in row k and column j, which usually represent the transition from discrete state θ (j) to the observed value x (k) The transition probability, the convolution relationship between g(θ) and f(x) can be expressed as Define a matrix P of dimension α×t = (p kj ), according to the above convolution relationship, it can be transformed into matrix multiplication f=Pg Empirical Bayesian modeling is divided into g-model and f-model. This time, the g-model is applied. It is assumed that the prior distribution g belongs to a p-parameter exponential family on T, which can be expressed in discrete form as: Where g(θ) is the prior distribution to be estimated, which represents the probability distribution of the parameter θ, and η=(η1,η2,…,η p ) is the natural parameter vector of the model, which contains p parameters. These parameters determine the specific form of the exponential family, h j (θ) is a t-dimensional column vector of sufficient statistics defined on θ, A(η) is a normalization constant, and the above formula can be further written in the following vector form, g(θ)=e Qη / c(n) Q is a t×p matrix, where t is the number of discrete points in the sample space T and p is the number of parameters of the model. This matrix is ​​usually used to describe the relationship between the sample space T and the parameter η, and c(η) is a normalization constant.
