TRACE-CRC: Trajectory-Adaptive Conformal Risk Control for Multi-Step Channel State Information Prediction

The paper introduces TRACE-CRC, a trajectory‑adaptive conformal risk control method for multi‑step channel state information (CSI) prediction. It builds Frobenius‑norm uncertainty balls around predicted CSI matrices and controls the risk that any future frame is uncovered, using future‑step‑dependent error profiling, trajectory difficulty stratification, and learn‑then‑test risk control. Experiments show that TRACE‑CRC delivers reliable trajectory‑level coverage with smaller uncertainty balls than conservative multi‑step corrections and avoids undercoverage seen in stepwise and adaptive baselines.

Conformal Risk-Averse Decision Making with Optimized Certainty Equivalent Risk Control

The paper investigates risk‑averse decision making where an agent chooses actions under uncertainty about the system state, using optimized certainty equivalent (OCE) metrics that encompass mean‑variance risk and CVaR. For known distributions, the optimal policy simplifies to a prediction‑set‑based solution for CVaR, linking it to conformal prediction sets. When distributions are unknown, the authors propose a data‑driven calibration method that employs a synthetic likelihood model and held‑out data to achieve high‑probability OCE risk control, and they demonstrate the method on two wireless beamforming scenarios.

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.

Uncertainty-Aware Predictive Safety Filters for Probabilistic Neural Network Dynamics

arXiv:2604. 26836v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Predictive safety filters (PSFs) leverage model predictive control to enforce constraint satisfaction during deep reinforcement learning (RL) exploration, yet their reliance on first-principles models or Gaussian processes limits scalability and broader applicability.

WiNeRF: Measurement Constrained Radiance Fields for Actionable Wireless Channel Modeling

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.
