Edge-Deployed Band-Split Rotary Position Encoding Transformer for Ultra-Low-Signal-to-Noise-Ratio Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Speech Enhancement by Feifan Liu, Muying Li, Luming Guo, Hao Guo, Jie Cao, Wei Zhao, Jun Wang

“…Addressing the significant challenge of speech enhancement in ultra-low-Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) scenarios for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) voice communication, particularly under edge deployment constraints, this study proposes the Edge-Deployed Band-Split Rotary Position Encoding Transformer (Edge-BS-RoFormer), a novel, lightweight band-split rotary position encoding transformer. While existing deep learning methods face limitations in dynamic UAV noise suppression under such constraints, including insufficient harmonic modeling and high computational complexity, the proposed Edge-BS-RoFormer distinctively synergizes a band-split strategy for fine-grained spectral processing, a dual-dimension Rotary Position Encoding (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>RoPE</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>) mechanism for superior joint time–frequency modeling, and <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>FlashAttention</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula> to optimize computational efficiency, pivotal for its lightweight nature and robust ultra-low-SNR performance. …”
