Multi-Source Approximate Message Passing with Random Semi-Unitary Dictionaries

Burak Çakmak, Giuseppe Caire

TL;DR

This work develops a multi-source AMP framework for matrix-valued observations where dictionaries are drawn from a random semi-unitary ensemble ${\bf S}_u=\sqrt{\alpha_u}\,{\bf P}_u{\bf O}_u$ and studies finite-sample high-dimensional behavior via state evolution. The proposed AMP algorithm uses divergence-free nonlinearities built from Bayesian posterior-mean denoisers, leading to decoupled Gaussian dynamics with recursion relations for covariances ${\bf C}_{\psi_u}^{(t,s)}$ and ${\bf C}_{\phi_u}^{(t,s)}$, and a fixed point compatible with replica-symmetric predictions in the RS setting. The paper also conjectures universality for dictionaries formed from randomly signed Fourier matrices, enabling efficient dictionary construction with ${\cal O}(L)$ cost and ${\cal O}(L\log L)$ per-iteration complexity. As a proof of concept, the framework is applied to unsourced random access in cell-free wireless networks, demonstrating reliable message detection and channel estimation and showing performance gains over i.i.d. dictionaries under modest system loads, with simulations corroborating the asymptotic predictions.

Abstract

Motivated by the recent interest in approximate message passing (AMP) for matrix-valued linear observations with superposition of \emph{multiple statistically asymmetric signal sources}, we introduce a multi-source AMP framework in which the dictionary matrices associated with each signal source are drawn from a \emph{random semi-unitary ensemble} (rather than the standard Gaussian matrix ensemble.) While a similar model has been explored by Vehkaper{ä}, Kabashima, and Chatterjee (2016) using the replica method, here we present an AMP algorithm and provide a high-dimensional yet \emph{finite-sample} analysis. As a proof of concept, we show the effectiveness of the proposed approach on the problem of \emph{message detection and channel estimation} in an unsourced random access scenario in wireless communication.

Key Result

Theorem 1

Suppose Assumption as1 hold. For all $(u,t)\in[U]\times [T]$, let the functions $f_{u,t}$ be differentiable and Lipschitz-continuous and satisfying the divergence-free property onsager. Let ${\hbox{\boldmath$\Theta$}}_u\doteq {\bf S}_u{\bf X}_u$. Then, we have for any $t\in[T]$ where ${\hbox{\boldmath$\Psi$}}_u^{(t)}\sim_{\text{i.i.d.}}{\hbox{\boldmath$\psi$}}_u^{(t)}$ and ${\hbox{\boldmath$\Phi$}
