Out-of-Air Computation: Enabling Structured Function Extraction from Wireless Superposition

The paper introduces AirCPU, an extraction‑oriented approach to over‑the‑air computation that uses joint source‑channel coding and a multi‑layer nested lattice architecture to create a structured wireless superposition. Unlike traditional embedding‑oriented designs, AirCPU operates directly on continuous device data, avoiding separate quantization and enabling progressive resolution through hierarchically scaled components transmitted over a bounded digital constellation. The authors formalize decoupled resolution, showing that with low decoding error probability, channel noise and constellation limits have negligible distortion, and they extend the method to fading MACs with collective, successive, and direct computation mechanisms to broaden the reliable operating regime.

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.

Analog RF Computing for Integrated Data and AI Flows Over Wireless Networks

The paper proposes using analog radio frequency (RF) computing to enable edge devices to perform AI inference by receiving a waveform that encodes neural network weights from a base station. Clients then mix this waveform with their own input-encoded signals to perform matrix‑vector multiplications with minimal power and memory. In a multi‑user MIMO downlink setting, the authors formulate a joint beamforming optimization to balance data and AI flows, showing that the aggregate data rate loss is below 5% under realistic 3GPP channel conditions.

Learned Digital Over-the-Air Computing for Federated Edge Learning

arXiv:2509. 16577v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Over-the-air (OTA) aggregation enables federated edge learning (FEEL) by exploiting the superposition property of the wireless channel to merge communication with computation, eliminating the need to schedule and decode devices individually.

Learning to Interfere in Non-Orthogonal Multiple-Access Joint Source-Channel Coding

The paper proposes a machine‑learning–based wireless image transmission scheme that merges compression and channel coding via a multi‑view autoencoder, enabling multiple transmitters to share the same channel resources simultaneously in a non‑orthogonal multiple‑access (NOMA) setting. A progressive fine‑tuning algorithm doubles the number of users at each iteration while preserving orthogonalized performance, allowing the system to support up to 64 users with only a 2.4 % increase in trainable parameters. The method improves recovered image quality and outperforms existing NOMA‑based approaches across various datasets, metrics, and channel conditions.

EqDeepRx: Learning a Scalable and Interference Mitigating MIMO Receiver

arXiv:2602. 11834v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While machine learning (ML)-based receiver algorithms have received a great deal of attention in the recent literature, they often suffer from poor scaling with increasing spatial multiplexing order and lack of explainability and generalization.

WiNeRF: Measurement Constrained Radiance Fields for Actionable Wireless Channel Modeling

WiNeRF is a neural field framework that learns a spatially continuous, complex-valued wireless channel representation from sparse channel state information collected by commodity WiFi devices. It incorporates system constraints such as antenna geometry, limited spatial resolution, and phase uncertainty through a 3D conical wave sampling model, a multi-resolution implicit scene representation, and a differentiable optimization framework. In diverse indoor environments with non‑line‑of‑sight regions, WiNeRF achieves a median prediction SNR of 5.3 dB, outperforming prior neural baselines by 4.9 dB on average, and produces a task‑agnostic channel representation that can be reused in standard signal‑processing pipelines without hardware or protocol changes.

GCNO: Gramian Chebyshev Neural Operator for Physics-Based Compression of Wireless Channels

The paper introduces GCNO, a physics‑based, variable‑rate neural operator that compresses wireless channel matrices by identifying a sample‑dependent set of dominant propagation paths instead of treating the matrix as an image. GCNO leverages receive‑transmit channel structure, a first‑order Taylor correction, and least‑squares recovery to encode path directions and strengths, and the base station reconstructs the channel analytically from these tuples. Experiments on three ray‑traced environments show GCNO outperforms neural feedback baselines in reconstruction accuracy for the same payload or achieves the same accuracy with lower payload, and it generalizes to unseen antenna counts without retraining.
