X-RACE: XAI-assisted Recurrent neural network Attribution for Channel Estimation

The paper introduces X-RACE, a framework that combines explainable AI with recurrent neural networks to improve channel estimation in high‑mobility vehicular environments. X-RACE employs a low‑complexity, one‑shot dual‑optimization strategy to prune unnecessary input subcarriers and hidden units, while also defining new temporal XAI metrics—Saturation Time, Importance Drift, and Relevance Contrast—to analyze LSTM learning dynamics. Simulation results show that X-RACE cuts inference complexity by at least 44.1% and maintains or improves Bit Error Rate performance compared to traditional XAI methods.

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.

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.
