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.

Deep Learning-Based Multi-User Communication Design for Dense IoT Networks: Interference-Aware Finite-Blocklength Communication and Preliminary MIMO Extensions

The paper presents a deep‑learning‑based end‑to‑end multi‑user communication design for dense IoT networks operating under interference‑limited, finite‑blocklength conditions. It extends a 2‑user SiameseNet transceiver to support 2, 4, and 8 users, using learned redundancy to suppress interference and improve noise robustness without joint detection. Preliminary results also show potential for a 2×2 MIMO configuration with fixed‑channel CSIT and CSIR.

Mean Spatial Frequency Decoupling for Learning-Based Uplink-to-Downlink Covariance Conversion in FDD Massive MIMO

The paper tackles the challenge of converting uplink to downlink channel covariance matrices in FDD massive MIMO systems, where learning‑based methods lose accuracy as the antenna count grows. It identifies that the mean angle of arrival creates a phase ramp whose oscillation rate increases with array size, making fixed‑size datasets sparse. The authors propose a deramping technique that estimates and removes this ramp before learning, reducing estimation error across three different learners and maintaining superiority over model‑based benchmarks at large array sizes.

Structure-Informed Estimation for Pilot-Limited MIMO Channels via Tensor Decomposition

The paper introduces a hybrid estimator for pilot‑limited MIMO channel estimation that frames the problem as low‑rank tensor completion from sparse pilot data. It compares Canonical Polyadic (CP) and Tucker decompositions, showing CP excels for specular channels while Tucker offers stability under extreme pilot scarcity. A lightweight 3D U‑Net is added to capture residual components, and the combined Tensor–NN approach achieves significant NMSE improvements over conventional methods across various pilot densities and channel models.

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.
