Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semantic communication technology, and in particular to a high-energy-efficiency semantic communication method, system and device based on stacked metasurfaces. Background Art

[0002] Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems have been widely used in fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks to improve spectrum efficiency and support massive connectivity. However, MIMO systems are driven by the use of hundreds of antennas in base stations (BSs), which results in prohibitive hardware costs and power consumption due to the large number of radio frequency (RF) chains required for each antenna. Although the development of analog-to-digital hybrid MIMO communication systems has greatly reduced the number of required RF chains, it still requires a large number of phase shifters, resulting in low energy efficiency (EE).

[0003] With the rise of two emerging innovative technologies, namely reconfigurable smart metasurfaces (RIS) and semantic communication (SemCom), energy-saving holographic MIMO communications can be achieved. Specifically, smart metasurfaces are artificial surfaces composed of a large number of low-cost meta-atoms, which can apply phase shifts to electromagnetic waves and reconfigure the wireless propagation environment in an energy-saving manner, thereby promoting the use of large-scale arrays. In addition, semantic communication eliminates irrelevant information and transmits compressed key information, thereby reducing system power consumption and improving energy efficiency EE. Most existing research works on smart metasurfaces rely on single-layer architectures, which have been proven to expand service coverage, enhance physical layer security, and improve achievable rate / energy efficiency. However, studies have shown that the beamforming design freedom of single-layer smart metasurfaces is limited and multi-user interference cannot be suppressed. In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the industry has proposed the stacked metasurface (SM) technology, which vertically stacks multiple metasurfaces to form a stacked metasurface with a multi-layer structure. However, how to maximize the semantic energy efficiency of stacked metasurfaces in communication applications has become one of the important technical issues to be solved in the field.

[0015] It can be understood that the high energy-efficient semantic communication method based on stacked metasurfaces provided in this embodiment can be applied to Figure 2 In the communication system application environment shown in the figure, the communication system can be equipped with A base station (which can be recorded as BS) with digital antennas, a A layers of intelligent super surface and each layer of intelligent super surface has The stacked metasurface (which can be denoted as SM) of uniform planes and KThere are user-end devices with a single antenna (referred to as User1 to User K ).

[0016] You can define collections , and ; The channel between the digital antenna of the base station and the first layer of the stacked metasurface is , No. a Layer-by-layer supersurface and a The channel between the +1-layer stacked metasurfaces is , the base station and the k The channel between the user end devices is Using the semantic transfer framework based on deep learning, the original sentence Through neural network Mapped into semantic symbols, that is .remember For the k User semantic symbols are transmitted through a digital beamformer before transmission. Processing. a The metasurface phase shift matrix of the stacked metasurface is Therefore, the semantic beamformer transmitted to the user end device can be expressed as Therefore, k The signal received at the user terminal device is ,in, is additive noise, is the average noise power. The equivalent analog beamformer generated by SM is defined as ,Right now:

[0017] DeepSC Receiver Received a degraded semantic symbol After that, extract and restore the original sentence In order to evaluate the quality of semantic communication, the semantic rate (suts / s) is widely used, namely:

[0018] in, For the original sentence The expected amount of semantic information in , is the bandwidth, is the average number of semantic symbols per word, For the original sentence The expected number of words, Sentences for recovery With the original sentence The semantic similarity between . For the k The signal-to-noise ratio of a user terminal device is:

[0019] However, It mainly depends on the neural network used , its black box nature makes it impossible to accurately characterize it. A generalized logic function can handle this problem, which converts the semantic rate Maps to:

[0020] in, , , and is a non-negative parameter. And the total power consumption of the communication system considered is:

[0021] in, For efficiency, is the power required by the RF chain, is the power consumed by each meta-atom, is the power consumption of the baseband processor. Therefore, the semantic energy efficiency is expressed as:

[0022] The above-mentioned high-energy-efficiency semantic communication method based on stacked metasurfaces sets the minimum semantic rate target, the minimum semantic similarity threshold and the maximum transmission power, and takes the maximization of semantic energy efficiency as the objective function. Under the condition of non-ideal angular error of the wireless channel, the minimum semantic rate target, the minimum semantic similarity threshold, the maximum transmission power and the normalization of the amplitude of each reflection unit of the stacked metasurface are used as constraints. An optimization model to be solved with a digital beamformer and a metasurface phase shift matrix as optimization variables is constructed. The non-ideal channel model based on the angle error and the non-ideal angular error parameters of the wireless channel are discretized. Finally, the semantic maximization minimization method is used to solve the optimal digital beamformer and the cyclic coordinate descent algorithm is used to solve the optimal metasurface phase shift matrix for semantic communication optimization of the communication system, thereby realizing the maximization of the semantic energy efficiency of stacked metasurfaces in communication applications.

[0023] Specifically, the above-mentioned high-energy-efficiency semantic communication method based on stacked metasurfaces may include the following processing steps: Step 1: Set a minimum semantic rate target for the communication system , minimum semantic similarity threshold And the maximum transmit power .

[0024] Step 2: Semantic Energy Efficiency Maximize the objective function, in the non-ideal angle error of the wireless channel Under the condition of minimum semantic rate target , minimum semantic similarity threshold , Maximum transmit power The amplitude of each reflection unit of the smart metasurface is normalized as a constraint condition, and the user-end device k Desired Digital Beamformer and metasurface phase shift matrix To optimize the variables, build the optimization model to be solved:

[0025] Among them, C1 to C4 represent various constraint conditions respectively.

[0026] Step 3: Construct a non-ideal channel model based on angle error and transform the non-ideal angle error of the wireless channel into Discretize the parameters.

[0027] Specifically, let the channel belongs to a given uncertainty set, namely , and are the upper and lower limits of the azimuth, and are the upper and lower limits of the elevation angle respectively. Non-ideal angle error of the wireless channel The interval angles within are uniformly chosen as:

[0028] in, and They are and The number of samples, , .thus In the worst case CSI (channel state information) . Make the signal-to-noise ratio can be restated as:

[0029] Step 4: Use the semantic maximization and minimization method to solve the optimal digital beamformer (which can be recorded as ), and the optimal metasurface phase shift matrix (which can be recorded as ).

[0030] In one embodiment, in the process of solving the optimal digital beamformer using the semantic maximization-minimization method, a semantic proxy function is used to transform the untractable quasi-convexity in the digital optimization sub-problem into a tractable quasi-convexity.

[0031] Specifically, firstly, the given metasurface phase shift matrix is ​​used Designing a Digital Beamformer , the corresponding digital optimization sub-problem can be expressed as:

[0033] in, , the goal is to convert the unprocessable quasi-convex Transform it into a tractable quasi-convex, thereby solving the corresponding numerical optimization subproblem. In the following proposition, we propose Semantic proxy function: Proposition 1 (Semantic Proxy Function): Given a stationary point , quasi-convex It can be approximated as ,Right now:

[0034] in, And the intermediate parameters:

[0035] This Proposition 1 can be proved by sufficient experimental examples and curve fitting. By using Proposition 1, As A simple function, namely:

[0036] However, the denominator With the form of sum and ratio, the corresponding digital optimization subproblem is still difficult to solve. Therefore, the secondary transformation is used for processing, namely:

[0037] in, is an auxiliary variable introduced, and Therefore, the objective function can be further rewritten as Finally, the fractional semantic energy efficiency form is processed using the Dinkelbach method (an efficient algorithm for solving fractional programming problems). To elaborate, by introducing an additional variable , the fractional Sem-EE is converted into a non-fractional function, namely:

[0038] Obviously, this is a given and The non-homogeneous separable QCQP (Quadratic ConstrainedQuadratic Programming) problem can be solved efficiently using CVX (a commonly used Matlab convex optimization solver). and Can be updated to:

[0039] Among them, the superscript represents the number of iterations. In this iterative framework, the digital beamformer can be found .

[0040] In the right After optimization, the focus is on designing the SM metasurface phase shift matrix , and its corresponding simulation optimization subproblem is given by:

[0041] Obviously, due to the multiple constraints of quality of service (QoS) and the unit module constraints of meta-atoms, solving the above simulation optimization sub-problems is challenging. Therefore, we first add multiple QoS constraints to the non-negative Lagrange multiplier The simulation optimization subproblem is then rewritten as:

[0042] Among them, the intermediate parameters are as follows:

[0043] Then, we turned to the CCD (conjugate gradient method) algorithm to process the unit module constraints of the meta-atom, and thus obtained the optimal closed-form solution. Specifically, you can first Expands to:

[0044] in, . It should be noted that due to the Hermitian matrix The unit module constraints of and meta-atoms make the second equation valid. Therefore, Can be decomposed into N These scalar subproblems can be updated using the following CCD framework:

[0045] Here Then, solve the above equation A scalar subproblem. Ignoring the constant term, It can be expressed as:

[0046] Obviously, the optimal closed-form solution is:

[0047] However, the above CCD algorithm is based on a fixed non-negative Lagrange multiplier Therefore, we turn to find the optimal , which can be obtained by the following complementary relaxation conditions:

[0048] in, . K binary search can be used to search for the optimal For the sake of simplicity, we can refer to the existing K binary search for similar understanding. Finally, by and Perform iterative optimization to obtain the optimal , to obtain the optimal metasurface phase shift matrix .
