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.

The paper introduces Physics-Unrolled Hybrid Neural Operator (PU‑HNO), a three‑stage cascade that transforms low‑fidelity ray‑tracing outputs and scene priors into high‑fidelity indoor radio maps by sequentially modeling reflection, diffraction, and scattering. It demonstrates that, under conditionally unbiased label noise, the model can learn stable propagation structures and surpass its own training labels. Experiments on varied floorplans show PU‑HNO outperforming image‑to‑image baselines, wireless learning models, and monolithic neural operators in both image quality and wireless deployment metrics.

Recent advances in machine learning have enabled training of wireless foundation models, which aim to support tasks such as channel estimation, beam prediction, and localization based on wireless signals. Existing wireless foundation models typically pretrain on channel tensors using masked reconstruction over subcarriers, antennas, or time but ignore the physical characteristics of wireless propagation.
