The paper presents a method for reconstructing building footprints using only wireless channel measurements. It introduces a two‑stage hierarchical framework: first, a physics‑grounded wireless foundation model converts each channel measurement into a scene representation; second, a diffusion model jointly integrates multiple representations to infer and sample the posterior distribution over building occupancy. Experiments show that this approach can accurately recover building footprints and that both the physics‑grounded representations and joint posterior inference are essential for performance.

High-precision radio map construction is essential for emerging 6G Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) applications, including digital twins and intelligent transportation. However, existing deep learning methods predominantly treat this as a pure image completion task, resulting in over-smoothed reconstructions that fundamentally erase high-frequency scattering signatures of dynamic physical entities such as hidden vehicles.

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.
