A Unified Framework for Guiding Generative AI With Wireless Perception in Resource Constrained Mobile Edge Networks

Abstract

With the significant advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and computational capabilities, generative AI (GAI) has become a pivotal digital content generation technique for offering superior digital services. However, due to the inherent instability of AI models, directing GAI towards the desired output remains a challenging task. Therefore, in this paper, we design a novel framework that utilizes wireless perception to guide GAI (WiPe-GAI) in delivering AI-generated content (AIGC) service, within resource-constrained mobile edge networks. Specifically, we first propose a new sequential multi-scale perception (SMSP) algorithm to predict user skeleton based on the channel state information (CSI) extracted from wireless signals. This prediction then guides GAI to provide users with AIGC, i.e., virtual character generation. To ensure the efficient operation of the proposed framework in resource constrained networks, we further design a pricing-based incentive mechanism and propose a diffusion model based approach to generate an optimal pricing strategy for the service provisioning. The strategy maximizes the user's utility while incentivizing the participation of the virtual service provider (VSP) in AIGC provision. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the designed framework in terms of skeleton prediction and optimal pricing strategy generation, outperforming other existing solutions.
