Interference Cancellation GAN Framework for Dynamic Channels
This addresses the challenge of adapting to highly dynamic channels in communication systems, offering a practical solution for real-time applications.
The paper tackles the problem of symbol detection in dynamic communication channels by introducing an online training framework that unifies deep unfolding with GANs, demonstrating significant performance improvements over recent neural network models on dynamic channels and even surpassing them on static channels.
Symbol detection is a fundamental and challenging problem in modern communication systems, e.g., multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) setting. Iterative Soft Interference Cancellation (SIC) is a state-of-the-art method for this task and recently motivated data-driven neural network models, e.g. DeepSIC, that can deal with unknown non-linear channels. However, these neural network models require thorough timeconsuming training of the networks before applying, and is thus not readily suitable for highly dynamic channels in practice. We introduce an online training framework that can swiftly adapt to any changes in the channel. Our proposed framework unifies the recent deep unfolding approaches with the emerging generative adversarial networks (GANs) to capture any changes in the channel and quickly adjust the networks to maintain the top performance of the model. We demonstrate that our framework significantly outperforms recent neural network models on highly dynamic channels and even surpasses those on the static channel in our experiments.
