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.

The paper introduces NOSTRAdAMUS, a predictive link‑adaptation framework for 5G NR that forecasts retransmissions in the next radio frame using recent HARQ history and adjusts the Modulation and Coding Scheme accordingly. Gradient Boosting models achieve 82.9% overall accuracy, with high‑confidence predictions correct 94.2% of the time and a 5.5 µs inference latency. Evaluated OTA on the X5G testbed and various channel emulators, the approach boosts goodput by up to 71.5% and cuts retransmissions by up to 71.8% without retraining across diverse scenarios.

The paper presents a large‑scale, 3GPP TR 38.901‑compliant dataset for RIS‑aided millimeter‑wave B5G networks, covering 20 deployment variants with diverse user densities, fading, and blockage conditions. Each sample includes oracle RIS phase configurations from a brute‑force search, along with full CSI, per‑link channel decomposition, optimal phase matrices, and CQI labels, enabling a wide range of machine‑learning tasks. The authors also introduce a novel CSI‑to‑CQI mapping as a benchmark for scalable link‑quality prediction and evaluate it against state‑of‑the‑art models under various conditions.
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.
