Joint channel estimation and feedback with masked token transformers in massive MIMO systems
This paper proposes FlowMat, an encoder-decoder network leveraging masked token transformers to achieve joint channel estimation and feedback in massive MIMO systems. FlowMat unveils intrinsic frequency-domain correlations in CSI matrices, using a self-mask-attention coding mechanism and an active masking strategy for efficient feature capture and reconstruction. A streamlined multilayer perceptron denoising module is integrated for precise channel estimation. Experiments show FlowMat's superior performance in joint tasks and beneficial results in individual tasks compared to state-of-the-art methods.
