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.

The paper surveys wireless foundation models (WFMs), highlighting their role in learning reusable representations from large-scale wireless data for physical-layer tasks. It systematically reviews WFM design components—pretraining, backbone architectures, and downstream adaptation—and categorizes the literature into five task families: signal recognition and demodulation, channel representation learning, RF sensing and localization, beam management, and spectrum sensing and monitoring, including multi-task models. The analysis reveals that while WFMs show promise, evidence of transferability varies across tasks and evaluation settings, and differences in datasets, modalities, architectures, and distribution shifts hinder clear conclusions about effective design choices.

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.
