| contents | Fluid antenna systems (FAS) have emerged as a promising technology for next-generation wireless systems. However, practical multiuser multiple-input multiple-output FAS (MIMO-FAS) faces two inherently coupled challenges: acquiring accurate high-dimensional channel state information (CSI) from limited RF chains and solving the combinatorial port selection problem, where the effectiveness of the latter highly depends on the result of the former. In this paper, we propose a unified two-stage diffusion framework that formulates the joint task as a maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) inference problem and decomposes it into two sequential sampling stages through a plug-in approximation. For Stage I, a continuous flow-based diffusion model serves as a powerful implicit prior for 2D FAS channels, and a parallel guided generation scheme realizes approximate posterior sampling, enabling accurate multiuser channel recovery even under severely low sub-sampling ratios. For Stage II, a discrete diffusion model is trained to approximate the conditional port selection distribution by combining supervised learning on heuristic labels with reinforcement fine-tuning, effectively overcoming the local optima of conventional heuristic algorithms. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the proposed framework simultaneously achieves exceptional channel estimation accuracy and globally optimized port selection, substantially improving the minimum achievable rate. |
