摘要

针对太赫兹信道中多径分簇算法在多维参数适应性和无监督特征分离中的不足，提出了一种基于变分自编码器的潜层空间多径分簇（VAE-LMC）模型。首先，通过变分自编码器（VAE）学习多径时延与到达角度的潜在表示，增强特征可分离性。其次，将K-Means分簇嵌入VAE框架，联合优化重构损失、KL散度和分簇损失函数，解决无监督学习中的特征分离难题。最后，在潜层空间完成多径分簇并将结果映射至真实数据空间。在小型工厂场景中开展129.5~135 GHz的太赫兹信道测量，构建训练数据集和测试数据集。实验结果表明，VAE-LMC模型在簇内和簇间特性、环境一致性及复杂度等方面均有显著优势，为复杂场景下的太赫兹信道多径分簇提供了高效解决方案。

Abstract

To address the shortcomings of multipath clustering algorithms in terahertz channel modeling

particularly in terms of multidimensional parameter adaptability and unsupervised feature separation

a variational autoencoder-based latent space multipath clustering (VAE-LMC) model was proposed. Firstly

the variational autoencoder (VAE) was utilized to learn latent representations of multipath delays and arrival angles

enhancing feature separability. Secondly

K-Means clustering was embedded into the VAE framework

with joint optimization of reconstruction loss

KL divergence

and clustering loss functions to resolve the challenges of feature separation in unsupervised learning. Finally

multipath clustering was performed in the latent space

and the results were mapped back to the real data space. Terahertz channel measurements at 129.5~135 GHz were conducted in a small factory scenario to construct training datasets and testing datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that the VAE-LMC model exhibits significant advantages in intra-cluster and inter-cluster characteristics

environmental consistency

and computational complexity

providing an efficient solution for terahertz channel multipath clustering in complex scenarios.
