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.

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.

arXiv:2607. 01799v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) decompose internal activations of neural networks into sparse linear combinations of learned features by fitting an overcomplete dictionary $\mathbf{W}\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ with $m<n$, and inferring a sparse code $\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^n$ from $\mathbf{h}\approx\mathbf{W}\mathbf{x}$.

The paper introduces ModalShare, a bandwidth allocation method for multimodal split learning that assigns each modality a keep‑ratio based on its Shapley contribution score. Unlike existing compression schemes that split the uplink budget proportionally to activation size, ModalShare explicitly optimizes the split across modalities, requiring no extra uplink traffic or client computation. Experiments on CREMA‑D and MVSA datasets show that ModalShare improves accuracy by 12.4–15.4 percentage points over equal keep‑ratios under a 5× compression budget, outperforming three compressors across multiple datasets and budgets.

The paper tackles the challenge of converting uplink to downlink channel covariance matrices in FDD massive MIMO systems, where learning‑based methods lose accuracy as the antenna count grows. It identifies that the mean angle of arrival creates a phase ramp whose oscillation rate increases with array size, making fixed‑size datasets sparse. The authors propose a deramping technique that estimates and removes this ramp before learning, reducing estimation error across three different learners and maintaining superiority over model‑based benchmarks at large array sizes.

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.
