MambaCSP: Hybrid-Attention State Space Models for Hardware-Efficient Channel State Prediction

MambaCSP is a hybrid-attention state space model that replaces transformer-based backbones with a linear-time Mamba architecture for channel state prediction. By adding lightweight patch‑mixer attention layers, it captures long‑range dependencies while maintaining hardware efficiency. Experiments on MISO‑OFDM show 9‑12% higher accuracy, 3× faster throughput, 2.6× lower VRAM usage, and 2.9× faster inference compared to LLM‑based methods.

EqDeepRx: Learning a Scalable and Interference Mitigating MIMO Receiver

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.

DRIFT: Joint Channel Estimation and Prediction Towards Pilotless 6G Non-Terrestrial Networks

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.

X-RACE: XAI-assisted Recurrent neural network Attribution for Channel Estimation

The paper introduces X-RACE, a framework that combines explainable AI with recurrent neural networks to improve channel estimation in high‑mobility vehicular environments. X-RACE employs a low‑complexity, one‑shot dual‑optimization strategy to prune unnecessary input subcarriers and hidden units, while also defining new temporal XAI metrics—Saturation Time, Importance Drift, and Relevance Contrast—to analyze LSTM learning dynamics. Simulation results show that X-RACE cuts inference complexity by at least 44.1% and maintains or improves Bit Error Rate performance compared to traditional XAI methods.

InfoMamba: An Attention-Free Hybrid Mamba-Transformer Model

InfoMamba is an attention‑free hybrid model that combines a minimal‑bandwidth global interface with a selective recurrent stream. The architecture replaces token‑level self‑attention with a concept bottleneck linear filtering layer and integrates it via an information‑maximizing fusion (IMF) that injects global context into the state‑space dynamics. Experiments across classification, dense prediction, and non‑vision tasks show that InfoMamba outperforms strong Transformer and SSM baselines while maintaining near‑linear scaling and competitive accuracy‑efficiency trade‑offs.
