Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Massive MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) is a technology that uses a large number of antennas at a base station (BS), thereby achieving high communication performance. However, massive MIMO has a problem that the feedback of channel state information (CSI) required for precoding in the BS increases due to the large number of antennas. Recently, there is a technique of using deep learning to address this problem. In the conventional method using deep learning, features are extracted by treating CSI matrices represented by space and frequency as images, and are used for compression and reconstruction. In this report, we propose a method that uses a 3-dimensional convolutional neural network (3D CNN) to extract features in the time domain of CSI, in addition to the spatial and frequency domains, and to perform compression and reconstruction. Furthermore, the proposed method uses prediction by Convolutional LSTM (ConvLSTM), a kind of recurrent neural network (RNN), to compensate for the difference between the reconstructed CSI and that required for precoding due to the feedback delay of the time-varying channel. The proposed method achieves high accuracy by CSI compression /reconstruction using 3D CNN and channel prediction using ConvLSTM, even if information is compressed 1/64. Also, the proposed method improves the reconstruction accuracy at an arbitrary compression ratio compared to the conventional one that learns only two dimensions of space and frequency.
