DRIFT: Joint Channel Estimation and Prediction Towards Pilotless 6G Non-Terrestrial Networks

The paper introduces DRIFT, a lightweight framework for joint channel estimation and prediction in low Earth orbit non-terrestrial networks, aiming to reduce pilot overhead by using data-driven processing after the initial slot. DRIFT refines data-aided channel estimates and forecasts future channel responses with low computational cost, offering two variants based on convolutional and LSTM layers. Simulations show up to 12% spectral efficiency gain over conventional pilot-based systems, with under 200k multiply-accumulate operations suitable for on-board satellite implementation.

AIR-LLM: Broadcasting AI Weights over Radio for Memory-Free Edge LLM Inference via RF Computing

AIR-LLM is an edge inference architecture that broadcasts large language model (LLM) weights over radio, allowing edge devices to perform matrix-vector multiplications directly in the RF domain without storing or loading the weights. The system uses MIMO spatial multiplexing and an energy‑efficient precoder‑postcoder pair to reduce airtime and calibrate the wireless channel, enabling a single broadcast to serve unlimited users. Experiments on real urban channel models show that AIR-LLM achieves only a 4.0% perplexity loss on LLaMA‑3.1‑8B while saving energy by up to 157.7× compared to FP16 and reducing airtime by over 100× for 20 users.

FedGenSC: Federated Generative Semantic Communication with Channel-Aware Adaptation

FedGenSC introduces a federated generative semantic communication system that uses a global generator with local discriminators, a semantic prototype bank, and SNR‑conditioned generation to address instability, semantic drift, and channel‑agnostic issues in GAN‑based federated learning. Experiments on the Europarl dataset over Rayleigh fading channels show that FedGenSC outperforms the FedDeepSC baseline under non‑IID data, achieving up to a 58.2% relative improvement in BLEU‑1 at 18 dB. Ablation studies confirm that each component independently contributes to the overall performance gains.

Semantic CSI Feedback for Beam Selection: When Task-Aware Embeddings from Sparse Pilots Outperform Full-Bandwidth Reconstruction

The paper introduces a semantic communication approach for CSI feedback in FDD massive MIMO, where the UE sends a learned embedding optimized for beam selection rather than reconstructing the full channel. Experiments show that an 8‑dimensional embedding derived from just 43 NR CSI‑RS pilots in the angular‑delay domain achieves the best beam prediction accuracy, surpassing methods that use the entire 512‑subcarrier channel. This demonstrates that beam‑relevant information is inherently low‑dimensional, allowing the semantic encoder to discard irrelevant details and transmit only the intent needed for beam selection.
