The paper introduces a JEPA-inspired latent field prediction model for reconstructing MIMO‑OFDM channels from sparse pilots. It maps observed CSI into latent time‑frequency tokens, predicts masked or future latent states using historical multi‑band context, and fuses these predictions with current noisy pilots to recover the full channel. Ray‑tracing experiments demonstrate that this approach reduces normalized mean square error compared to pilot‑only and direct reconstruction baselines.

The paper introduces a diffusion-based channel estimation framework for MIMO systems that incorporates temporal dynamics via an LSTM-conditioned denoiser. It employs a learnable SNR-gated fusion mechanism to balance observation fidelity with generative priors across a wide SNR range, and uses DDIM-style reverse updates with SNR-adaptive truncation to reduce inference latency. Simulations on standardized time-evolving channel models show consistent performance gains over existing diffusion-based baselines while maintaining low latency.

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.

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.
