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 a hybrid estimator for pilot‑limited MIMO channel estimation that frames the problem as low‑rank tensor completion from sparse pilot data. It compares Canonical Polyadic (CP) and Tucker decompositions, showing CP excels for specular channels while Tucker offers stability under extreme pilot scarcity. A lightweight 3D U‑Net is added to capture residual components, and the combined Tensor–NN approach achieves significant NMSE improvements over conventional methods across various pilot densities and channel models.
