Multi-channel mixed-SNR training improves out-of-distribution (OOD) generalisation of deep learning channel estimators for IEEE 802. 11p vehicular communications, yet the internal mechanism responsible for this remains unexplained.
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.

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.

The paper introduces Encoder‑Sharing Hierarchical Multi‑Task Federated Learning (EN‑HMTFL) for vehicular ad hoc networks, combining cluster‑based hierarchical federated learning with a globally shared encoder and vehicle‑local decoders. This design allows vehicles performing different perception tasks to collaboratively learn a transferable feature representation while keeping raw data and task‑specific decoders local. Experiments on MNIST and GTSRB datasets show that EN‑HMTFL can improve accuracy by up to 24.0% and reduce communication rounds by up to 69 (28.8%) compared to a representation‑sharing benchmark.
