Deep Learning Based Channel Estimation and Beamforming in Movable Antenna Systems

Movable antenna (MA) has emerged as a promising technology for future wireless systems. Compared with traditional fixed-position antennas, MA improves system performance by antenna movement to optimize channel conditions. For multiuser wideband MA systems, this paper proposes deep learning-based framework integrating channel estimation (CE), antenna position optimization, and beamforming, with a clear workflow and enhanced efficiency. Specifically, to obtain accurate channel state information (CSI), we design a two-stage CE mechanism: first reconstructing the channel matrix from limited measurements via compressive sensing, then introducing a Swin-Transformer-based denoising network to refine CE accuracy for subsequent optimization. Building on this, we address the joint optimization challenge by proposing a Transformer-based network that intelligently maps CSI sequences of candidate positions to optimal MA positions while combining a model-driven weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) beamforming approach to achieve better performance. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methods achieve superior performance compared with existing counterparts under various conditions.
