Shift-MoE-Based DJSCC for CSI Feedback in Multi-User Pinching-Antenna Systems

Signal Processing 2026-07-06 v1

Abstract

In frequency-division duplexing systems, the performance gains of pinching-antenna systems (PASS) critically depend on accurate channel state information (CSI) at the base station. However, PASS CSI exhibits structured correlations over the waveguide-antenna grid and pronounced heterogeneity across users, making conventional fixed feedback mappings difficult to generalize. To address this challenge, this letter proposes an end-to-end CSI feedback scheme over a noisy uplink feedback link based on deep joint source-channel coding, termed Shift-based Mixture-of-Experts (Shift-MoE). Specifically, Shift-MoE leverages channel-grouped one-step shift operations to capture grid dependencies without global attention, and employs a gated multilayer perceptron mixture-of-experts module to adapt to heterogeneous CSI statistics across users. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed Shift-MoE consistently outperforms representative learning-based CSI feedback baselines in normalized mean squared error and remains effective under different system parameter settings.
