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 adopted in fifth-generation (5G) wireless networks to improve spectral 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. While the development of hybrid analog-digital MIMO communication systems has significantly reduced the number of required RF chains, they still require a large number of phase shifters, resulting in low energy efficiency (EE).

[0003] The rise of two emerging innovative technologies—reconfigurable smart metasurfaces (RIS) and semantic communication (SemCom)—can enable energy-efficient holographic MIMO communications. Specifically, smart metasurfaces are artificial surfaces composed of a large number of low-cost meta-atoms. They can impose phase shifts on electromagnetic waves, reconfiguring the wireless propagation environment in an energy-efficient manner, thereby facilitating the use of large-scale arrays. Furthermore, semantic communication eliminates irrelevant information and transmits compressed critical information, thereby reducing system power consumption and improving energy efficiency (EE). Most existing research on smart metasurfaces relies on single-layer architectures, which have been proven to extend service coverage, enhance physical layer security, and improve achievable rate and energy efficiency. However, previous studies have shown that single-layer smart metasurfaces have limited beamforming design freedom and are unable to suppress multi-user interference. To overcome these shortcomings, the industry has proposed stacked metasurfaces (SMs), which vertically stack multiple metasurfaces to form a multi-layered metasurface structure. However, achieving the maximum semantic energy efficiency of stacked metasurfaces in communication applications remains a key technical challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0033] S18, semantic communication optimization of the communication system using the optimal digital beamformer and the optimal metasurface phase shift matrix.

[0034] It can be understood that the high energy efficiency 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 Alayers of intelligent super surface and each layer of intelligent super surface has The stacked metasurface (which can be recorded as SM) of uniform plane units and K User terminals with a single antenna (referred to as User1 to User K ).

[0035] You can define collections 、 and The channel between the digital antenna of the base station and the stacked metasurface of the first layer is , No. a Layer-by-layer metasurface and a The channel between the +1-layer stacked metasurfaces is , 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 networks Mapped into semantic symbols, i.e. .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:

[0036]

[0037] DeepSC Receiver Received degraded semantic symbols 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:

[0038]

[0039] 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 each user terminal device:

[0040]

[0041] 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:

[0042]

[0043] in, , , and is a non-negative parameter. And the total power consumption of the communication system considered is:

[0044]

[0045] 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:

[0046]

[0047] 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 amplitude normalization of each reflection unit of the stacked metasurface are used as constraints. An optimization model to be solved with the digital beamformer and the metasurface phase shift matrix as optimization variables is constructed. The non-ideal channel model based on the angular 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 the stacked metasurface in communication applications.

[0048] In particular, the high-energy-efficiency semantic communication method based on the stacked metasurface can include the following processing steps:

[0049] Step 1: Set the minimum semantic rate target of the communication system , the minimum semantic similarity threshold , and the maximum transmission power .

[0050] Step 2: Take the semantic energy efficiency maximization as the objective function, under the non-ideal angle error of the wireless channel, take the minimum semantic rate target , the minimum semantic similarity threshold , the maximum transmission power , and the amplitude normalization of each reflection unit of the smart metasurface as the constraint conditions, take the user-side device k expected digital beamformer and the metasurface phase shift matrix as the optimization variables, and construct an optimization model to be solved:

[0051]

[0052] wherein C1 to C4 represent each constraint condition respectively.

[0053] Step 3: Construct a non-ideal channel model based on the angle error and parameterize the non-ideal angle error of the wireless channel.

[0054] In particular, let the channel belong to a given uncertainty set, i.e. , and be the upper and lower limits of the azimuth angle respectively, and be the upper and lower limits of the elevation angle respectively. The interval angle within the non-ideal angle error of the wireless channel is uniformly selected as:

[0055]

[0056] wherein and are the sample numbers of and respectively, , . Thus is under the worst-case CSI (Channel State Information). The signal-to-noise ratio can be re-expressed as:

[0057]

[0058] 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 ).

[0059] 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 subproblem into a tractable quasi-convexity.

[0060] Specifically, first use the given metasurface phase shift matrix Designing a Digital Beamformer , the corresponding digital optimization sub-problem can be expressed as:

[0061]

[0062]

[0063] in, , the goal is to convert the unprocessable quasi-convex is transformed into a tractable quasi-convex, thereby solving the corresponding numerical optimization subproblem. In the following proposition, Semantic proxy function:

[0064] Proposition 1 (Semantic Proxy Function): Given a stationary point , quasi-convex It can be approximated as ,Right now:

[0065]

[0066] in, And the intermediate parameters:

[0067]

[0068] This Proposition 1 can be proved by sufficient experimental examples and curve fitting. By using Proposition 1, As A simple function, namely:

[0069]

[0070] However, the denominator With the form of sum and ratio, the corresponding digital optimization subproblem is still difficult to solve. Therefore, a secondary transformation is used for processing, namely:

[0071]

[0072] 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, an additional variable , the fractional Sem-EE is converted into a non-fractional function, namely:

[0073]

[0074] 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:

[0076] Among them, the superscript Indicates the number of iterations. In this iterative framework, the digital beamformer can be found .

[0077] In the pair After optimization, the focus is on designing the SM metasurface phase shift matrix , and its corresponding simulation optimization subproblem is given by:

[0078]

[0079] 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:

[0080]

[0081] Among them, the intermediate parameters are as follows:

[0082]

[0083] Subsequently, 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:

[0084]

[0085] 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:

[0086]

[0087] Here Then, solve the above equation A scalar quantum problem. Ignoring the constant term, It can be expressed as:

[0088]

[0089] Obviously, the optimal closed-form solution is:

[0090]

[0091] 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 from the following complementary relaxation conditions:

[0092]

[0093] in, . K-dichotomy can be used to search for the optimal For the sake of simplicity, we can refer to the existing K-dichotomy search for similar understanding. Finally, by and Perform iterative optimization to obtain the optimal , to obtain the optimal metasurface phase shift matrix .

[0094] In one embodiment, a communication system is provided, comprising a base station configured with a digital antenna, a stacked metasurface, and multiple user-end devices configured with single antennas. The communication system utilizes an optimal digital beamformer and an optimal metasurface phase shift matrix to optimize semantic communication. Acquiring the optimal digital beamformer and the optimal metasurface phase shift matrix includes the following steps:
