Deep Learning for Joint Narrowband Interference Cancellation and Soft Demodulation in OFDM Systems

arXiv:2607. 08717v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Narrowband interference (NBI) severely degrades orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems by corrupting subcarriers and rendering classical soft demodulation ineffective.

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.

Clearing the Underbrush: AI-Enhanced RF Interference Suppression

The paper presents an AI‑enhanced method for radio frequency interference suppression that builds on autoregressive transformer models by adding a Finite Scalar Quantization tokenizer layer. This addition improves interference rejection while maintaining low latency, and the authors also test other inference optimizations to speed up processing with minimal accuracy loss. Experiments using a digitally modulated RF signal as the signal of interest and a digital television OFDM signal as interference show that the approach outperforms traditional techniques and prior AI methods, with benefits demonstrated through audio quality metrics like PESQ and potential operational applications.

CRFCAN: A Complex-Valued Cross-Domain Residual Network for Joint Channel and Phase Noise Estimation in Sub-THz OFDM Systems

CRFCAN is a complex‑valued residual FFT convolutional attention network that jointly estimates channel and phase noise in sub‑THz OFDM systems. It embeds FFT and inverse FFT modules within residual groups to enable iterative feature interaction across time and frequency domains, and includes dedicated residual blocks for complex feature extraction and multiplicative phase‑distortion modeling. Simulation results show that CRFCAN outperforms conventional algorithms and state‑of‑the‑art deep learning models in NMSE and BER, while offering single‑shot, fixed‑complexity inference and good generalization to unseen phase‑noise models.

Learned Digital Over-the-Air Computing for Federated Edge Learning

arXiv:2509. 16577v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Over-the-air (OTA) aggregation enables federated edge learning (FEEL) by exploiting the superposition property of the wireless channel to merge communication with computation, eliminating the need to schedule and decode devices individually.

Expander Sparse Autoencoders: Parameter-Efficient Dictionaries for Mechanistic Interpretability

arXiv:2607. 01799v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) decompose internal activations of neural networks into sparse linear combinations of learned features by fitting an overcomplete dictionary $\mathbf{W}\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ with $m<n$, and inferring a sparse code $\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^n$ from $\mathbf{h}\approx\mathbf{W}\mathbf{x}$.

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.
