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.

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 presents a large‑scale, 3GPP TR 38.901‑compliant dataset for RIS‑aided millimeter‑wave B5G networks, covering 20 deployment variants with diverse user densities, fading, and blockage conditions. Each sample includes oracle RIS phase configurations from a brute‑force search, along with full CSI, per‑link channel decomposition, optimal phase matrices, and CQI labels, enabling a wide range of machine‑learning tasks. The authors also introduce a novel CSI‑to‑CQI mapping as a benchmark for scalable link‑quality prediction and evaluate it against state‑of‑the‑art models under various conditions.

The paper introduces a self‑localizing MIMO beam‑mapping framework that builds a hierarchical wireless memory using sparse channel state information (CSI) without explicit location labels. It employs beam‑domain RSS as compact inputs, a dual‑scale extractor for angular and temporal dependencies, and a hybrid temporal encoder to infer physical anchors that index a structured radio map. The radio‑map embedding enables continuous updates and full‑CSI reconstruction, yielding over 30% better anchor recovery and more than 20% channel‑capacity gains in NLOS beam tracking compared to Kalman‑filter methods.

The paper proposes a CSI‑free hierarchical multi‑agent reinforcement learning framework for controlling reconfigurable reflective surfaces in millimeter‑wave networks. By replacing per‑element channel estimation with user localization data, the system uses a two‑tier neural architecture: a high‑level controller for discrete user‑to‑reflector assignments and low‑level controllers that optimize continuous focal points via MAPPO under a CTDE scheme. Deterministic ray‑tracing tests show RSSI gains of up to 7.79 dB over centralized PPO baselines and robust performance with sub‑meter localization errors for multiple users and reflector arrays.

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.
