The paper introduces EXT-ICLNet, a Transformer-based detector for MIMO turbo receivers that uses pilots as in-context examples to learn the symbol extrinsic posterior distribution without explicit channel estimation. By implementing a log-domain prior skip connection, the network integrates seamlessly with existing turbo receivers, learning only extrinsic information. Numerical experiments on a 4×4 MIMO system with 16‑QAM and a quantized front end show that EXT-ICLNet outperforms baselines relying on explicit CSI estimation at low‑to‑medium SNRs and EP baselines with perfect CSI at high SNRs, as confirmed by EXIT chart comparisons.

The paper introduces a semantic communication approach for CSI feedback in FDD massive MIMO, where the UE sends a learned embedding optimized for beam selection rather than reconstructing the full channel. Experiments show that an 8‑dimensional embedding derived from just 43 NR CSI‑RS pilots in the angular‑delay domain achieves the best beam prediction accuracy, surpassing methods that use the entire 512‑subcarrier channel. This demonstrates that beam‑relevant information is inherently low‑dimensional, allowing the semantic encoder to discard irrelevant details and transmit only the intent needed for beam selection.
The paper proposes an XL‑MIMO system with stacked intelligent metasurfaces (SIM) that functions as a two‑layer neural network operating entirely over the air. The first layer is the uncontrollable wireless fading, while the second controllable layer is implemented via SIM operations, requiring only the front‑end metasurface to provide a nonlinear activation. Using the Extreme Learning Machine framework, the authors derive a closed‑form optimal linear SIM combining, enabling fast training and demonstrating classification accuracy comparable to digital models across various datasets.
