Efficient attention guided 5G power amplifier digital predistortion
We investigate neural network (NN) assisted techniques for compensating the non-linear behaviour and the memory effect of a 5G PA through digital predistortion (DPD). Traditionally, the most prevalent compensation technique computes the compensation element using a Memory Polynomial Model (MPM). Various neural network proposals have been shown to improve on this performance. However, thus far they mostly come with prohibitive training or inference costs for real world implementations. In this paper, we propose a DPD architecture that builds upon the practical MPM formulation governed by neural attention. Our approach enables a set of MPM DPD components to individually learn to target different regions of the data space, combining their outputs for a superior overall compensation. Our method produces similar performance to that of higher capacity NN models with minimal complexity. Finally, we view our approach as a framework that can be extended to a wide variety of local compensator types.
