Abstract
Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology is a key enabler of modern wireless communication systems, which demand accurate downlink channel state information (CSI) for optimal performance. Although deep learning (DL) has shown great potential in improving CSI feedback, most existing approaches fail to exploit the semantic relationship between CSI and other related channel metrics. In this paper, we propose SemCSINet, a semantic-aware Transformer-based framework that incorporates Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) into the CSI feedback process. By embedding CQI information and leveraging a joint coding-modulation (JCM) scheme, SemCSINet enables efficient, digital-friendly CSI feedback under noisy feedback channels. Experimental results on DeepMIMO datasets show that SemCSINet significantly outperforms conventional methods, particularly in scenarios with low signal-to-noise…
