D2AJSCC通过利用正交频分复用的子载波结构,实现高保真模拟联合源信道编码在标准数字收发机上的部署,解决了硬件-软件不匹配问题。

摘要:

模拟联合源信道编码(JSCC)通过在信道条件下实现渐进退化而展现出优越的性能。然而,基本的硬件-软件不匹配阻碍了其在现代数字物理层(PHY)上的部署:模拟JSCC生成连续值符号需要无限的波形多样性,而数字PHY生成有限的离散波形,并采用非可微操作,这会破坏端到端的梯度流。现有解决方案要么从根本上限制了表示的粒度,要么需要不实际的白盒PHY访问。我们引入D2AJSCC,一种新的框架,使高保真模拟JSCC能够在标准数字PHY上部署。我们的方法利用正交频分复用的平行子载波结构作为波形合成器:计算PHY反演确定输入位流,这些位流协调子载波幅度和相位以模拟理想的模拟波形。为了在非可微PHY操作下实现端到端训练,我们开发了ProxyNet——一个可微的神经网络替代物,它在不导致JSCC退化的情况下提供连续的梯度流。在WiFi PHY上图像传输的仿真结果表明,我们的系统在各种SNR条件下实现了接近理想的模拟JSCC性能,而基线方法则表现出台阶效应或灾难性失败。通过在不修改硬件的情况下在遗留基础设施上启用下一代语义传输,我们的框架促进了可持续的网络演进,并弥合了模拟JSCC理论承诺与在普及的数字硬件上实际部署之间的关键差距。

英文摘要:

Analog joint source-channel coding (JSCC) has demonstrated superior performance for semantic communications through graceful degradation across channel conditions. However, a fundamental hardware-software mismatch prevents deployment on modern digital physical layers (PHYs): analog JSCC generates continuous-valued symbols requiring infinite waveform diversity, while digital PHYs produce a finite set of discrete waveforms and employ non-differentiable operations that break end-to-end gradient flow. Existing solutions either fundamentally limit representation granularity or require impractical white-box PHY access. We introduce D2AJSCC, a novel framework enabling high-fidelity analog JSCC deployment on standard digital PHYs. Our approach exploits orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing's parallel subcarrier structure as a waveform synthesizer: computational PHY inversion determines input bitstreams that orchestrate subcarrier amplitudes and phases to emulate ideal analog waveforms. To enable end-to-end training despite non-differentiable PHY operations, we develop ProxyNet-a differentiable neural surrogate of the communication link that provides uninterrupted gradient flow while preventing JSCC degeneration. Simulation results for image transmission over WiFi PHY demonstrate that our system achieves near-ideal analog JSCC performance with graceful degradation across SNR conditions, while baselines exhibit cliff effects or catastrophic failures. By enabling next-generation semantic transmission on legacy infrastructure without hardware modification, our framework promotes sustainable network evolution and bridges the critical gap between analog JSCC's theoretical promise and practical deployment on ubiquitous digital hardware.
