The paper surveys wireless foundation models (WFMs), highlighting their role in learning reusable representations from large-scale wireless data for physical-layer tasks. It systematically reviews WFM design components—pretraining, backbone architectures, and downstream adaptation—and categorizes the literature into five task families: signal recognition and demodulation, channel representation learning, RF sensing and localization, beam management, and spectrum sensing and monitoring, including multi-task models. The analysis reveals that while WFMs show promise, evidence of transferability varies across tasks and evaluation settings, and differences in datasets, modalities, architectures, and distribution shifts hinder clear conclusions about effective design choices.
arXiv:2607. 09727v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: WiFi sensing based on Channel State Information (CSI) promises ubiquitous, device-free perception, yet current research remains trapped in a Tower of Babel - fragmented into isolated silos where models are tailored to specific hardware dialects, fixed environments, and narrow tasks.

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.
arXiv:2607. 14975v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Channel foundation models (CFMs) are developing rapidly, with recent studies reporting benefits from pretraining across downstream wireless tasks.
The paper proposes a Learnware-based framework for deploying scene‑specific CSI feedback models in 6G systems. A centralized AI data center maintains a catalog of pre‑trained models, each tagged with semantic and statistical specifications. Base stations retrieve the most relevant model using only statistical fingerprints, which reduces data privacy risks, lowers retrieval latency, and cuts fine‑tuning effort, achieving up to 57.7% performance gains over a general model.
