An Uncertainty-Driven Hybrid Deep Learning Approach for Broad-Coverage RF Modulation Recognition

arXiv:2608. 00796v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic RF modulation recognition is of critical importance in spectrum monitoring, electronic warfare, and cognitive radio applications, where low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions and the growing diversity of modulation schemes limit the performance of existing methods.

Joint Interference Detection and Identification via Adversarial Multi-task Learning

The paper introduces a theoretically grounded multi‑task learning framework, AMTIDIN, for joint interference detection, modulation identification, and interference identification. It derives an upper bound linking MTL performance to task similarity measured by Wasserstein distance and adaptive coefficients, and employs adversarial training to reduce distributional gaps across tasks. Experiments show AMTIDIN outperforms single‑task models and other MTL baselines, especially when training data is limited, signals are short, and SNRs are low.

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.

CIG-MAE: Cross-Modal Information-Guided Masked Autoencoder for Self-Supervised WiFi Sensing

CIG-MAE is a self‑supervised framework for WiFi‑based human action recognition that uses a cross‑modal masked autoencoder to reconstruct both amplitude and phase of Channel State Information. It introduces an adaptive, information‑guided masking strategy that focuses on high‑density time‑frequency regions and employs a Barlow Twins regularizer to align cross‑modal representations without negative samples. Experiments on three public datasets show that CIG‑MAE outperforms state‑of‑the‑art SSL methods and even surpasses a fully supervised baseline, highlighting its data efficiency, robustness, and generalization.

Calibrated RF-Fingerprinting Under Interference With Heterogeneous Transmission Protocols

The paper presents a calibrated radio‑frequency fingerprinting approach that handles co‑channel interference from multiple transmitters. By framing the task as a multi‑label classification problem, the authors use a 1D CNN and calibrate confidence thresholds to bound the average number of false negatives, ensuring reliable detection of spectrum violations. Experiments on the POWDER 5G testbed with Wi‑Fi, LTE, and 5G NR signals achieve up to 97% accuracy, with calibrated recall closely matching the specified false‑negative bounds even under out‑of‑distribution interference.

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.
