Contrastive Predictive Coding with Compression for Enhanced Channel State Feedback in Wireless Networks

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2607. 05419v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate and timely channel state information (CSI) is essential for next-generation wireless systems, yet existing works treat CSI compression and CSI prediction as separate problems, both in academia and in current 3GPP studies.

Low-Latency Task-Oriented Image Transmission with Opportunistic Spectrum Access

arXiv:2607. 01921v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Communication systems designed for reliable data reconstruction, rather than task-oriented communication, typically rely on separate source and channel coding and incur high latency under limited spectrum availability and fading channels.

Ada-TokenCom: Rate-Adaptive Token Communications via Large-Model-Driven Token Compression and Generation

Ada-TokenCom is a rate‑adaptive token communication framework that uses large autoregressive models to compress and transmit tokens efficiently. It combines next‑token prediction with arithmetic coding, sending only the most informative tokens and letting the receiver generate the rest. A Lyapunov‑based algorithm dynamically adjusts compression and modulation to match changing network conditions, and simulations show it outperforms existing digital and deep joint source‑channel coding baselines.

Semantic CSI Feedback for Beam Selection: When Task-Aware Embeddings from Sparse Pilots Outperform Full-Bandwidth Reconstruction

The paper introduces a semantic communication approach for CSI feedback in FDD massive MIMO, where the UE sends a learned embedding optimized for beam selection rather than reconstructing the full channel. Experiments show that an 8‑dimensional embedding derived from just 43 NR CSI‑RS pilots in the angular‑delay domain achieves the best beam prediction accuracy, surpassing methods that use the entire 512‑subcarrier channel. This demonstrates that beam‑relevant information is inherently low‑dimensional, allowing the semantic encoder to discard irrelevant details and transmit only the intent needed for beam selection.
