BeamGuard: Risk-Aware Multimodal Beam Forecasting and Adaptive Virtual Beamwidth Control for 6G mmWave V2I Links

Reliable beam management is a central challenge for 6G millimeter-wave (mmWave) vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) links, where narrow beams provide high array gain but are vulnerable to mobility-induced misalignment, blockage, and domain variation. BeamGuard is a multimodal sensing-aided beam-management framework that combines exteroceptive sensing with optional partial in-band mmWave power observations to forecast future beam distributions and select adaptive virtual beamwidth actions for reliable V2I control. It fuses camera, radar, LiDAR, GPS, and mmWave power observations with a temporal multimodal forecaster, then converts the predicted posterior into a beam center and virtual codebook-level beamwidth through a risk-aware planner. Here, virtual beamwidth denotes adjacent-beam coverage in the codebook index space rather than physical analog wide-beam synthesis. BeamGuard supports sensor-only operation for beam-training overhead reduction, limited in-band operation with masked beam-power entries, and full hybrid operation with sensing and communication-side measurements. We evaluate BeamGuard on DeepSense 6G Scenarios 32 and 33, with additional held-out tests on Scenarios 31 and 34, covering day--night training, transfer, limited adaptation, ablations, budget sweeps, and lightweight baselines. The full-hybrid anchor, used as the complete-system reference, achieves Top-1/Top-3/Top-5 accuracies of approximately \(0.393/0.778/0.897\), while the planner attains a threshold-based outage probability of about \(0.0060\) with a gain ratio of about \(0.895\). Matched-budget baselines further show that BeamGuard improves over multilayer perceptron, recurrent, and temporal convolutional predictors under comparable in-band observation settings. These results demonstrate robust, overhead-aware beam management through multimodal forecasting and risk-aware virtual beamwidth control.

Autonomous CSI Prediction Framework for O-RAN-Enabled 5G mmWave Vehicular Networks

Establishing and maintaining 5G mmWave vehicular connectivity poses a challenge due to high user mobility, requiring the design of robust and efficient beam switching procedures. Unlike reactive beam switching based on channel state information (CSI) feedback received from vehicular users, proactive beam switching exploits CSI prediction to prepare in advance for upcoming beam switching decisions. In this paper, we develop a framework for autonomous and self-trainable CSI prediction for mmWave vehicular users. In the proposed framework, base stations (gNBs) collect and label data sets to train a CSI prediction model both independently and using federated learning (FL). The data set combines data extracted from the CSI feedback and cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) cooperative awareness messages (CAMs) of surrounding vehicles. The framework is placed in the context of machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI)-based Open RAN (O-RAN) applications (rApps and xApps) fed by realistic real-world mobility and CSI data from the DeepMIMO simulator. Detailed evaluation results demonstrate feasibility, accuracy, and flexibility of the proposed CSI prediction framework

Occlusion-Aware Multimodal Beam Prediction and Pose Estimation for mmWave V2I

We propose an occlusion-aware multimodal learning framework that is inspired by simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) concepts for trajectory interpretation and pose prediction. Targeting mmWave vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) beam management under dynamic blockage, our Transformer-based fusion network ingests synchronized RGB images, LiDAR point clouds, radar range-angle maps, GNSS, and short-term mmWave power history. It jointly predicts the receive beam index, blockage probability, and 2D position using labels automatically derived from 64-beam sweep power vectors, while an offline LiDAR map enables SLAM-style trajectory visualization. On the 60 GHz DeepSense 6G Scenario 31 dataset, the model achieves 50.92\% Top-1 and 86.50\% Top-3 beam accuracy with 0.018 bits/s/Hz spectral-efficiency loss, 63.35\% blocked-class F1, and 1.33m position RMSE. Multimodal fusion outperforms radio-only and strong camera-only baselines, showing the value of coupling perception and communication for future 6G V2I systems.

Sensing-Assisted Adaptive Beam Probing with Calibrated Multimodal Priors and Uncertainty-Aware Scheduling

Highly directional mmWave/THz links require rapid beam alignment, yet exhaustive codebook sweeps incur prohibitive training overhead. This letter proposes a sensing-assisted adaptive probing policy that maps multimodal sensing (radar/LiDAR/camera) to a calibrated prior over beams, predicts per-beam reward with a deep Q-ensemble whose disagreement serves as a practical epistemic-uncertainty proxy, and schedules a small probe set using a Prior-Q upper-confidence score. The probing budget is adapted from prior entropy, explicitly coupling sensing confidence to communication overhead, while a margin-based safety rule prevents low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) locks. Experiments on DeepSense-6G (train: scenarios 42 and 44; test:43) with a 21-beam discrete Fourier transform (DFT) codebook achieve Top-1/Top-3 of 0.81/0.99 with expected beam probe of 2 per sweep and zero observed outages at θ = 0 dB with margin Δ = 3 dB. The results show that multimodal priors with ensemble uncertainty match link quality and improve reliability compared to ablations while cutting overhead with better predictive model.

System-Level Comparison of Multimodal and In-Band mmWave Sensing for Beam Prediction in 6G ISAC

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) can reduce beam-training overhead in mmWave vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) links by enabling in-band sensing-based beam prediction, while exteroceptive sensors can further enhance the prediction accuracy. This work develop a system-level framework that evaluates camera, LiDAR, radar, GPS, and in-band mmWave power, both individually and in multimodal fusion using the DeepSense-6G Scenario-33 dataset. A latency-aware neural network composed of lightweight convolutional (CNN) and multilayer-perceptron (MLP) encoders predict a 64-beam index. We assess performance using Top-k accuracy alongside spectral-efficiency (SE) gap, signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) gap, rate loss, and end-to-end latency. Results show that the mmWave power vector is a strong standalone predictor, and fusing exteroceptive sensors with it preserves high performance: mmWave alone and mmWave+LiDAR/GPS/Radar achieve 98% Top-5 accuracy, while mmWave+camera achieves 94% Top-5 accuracy. The proposed framework establishes calibrated baselines for 6G ISAC-assisted beam prediction in V2I systems.

Mobility-Aware Localization in mmWave Channel: Adaptive Hybrid Filtering Approach

Precise user localization and tracking enhances energy-efficient and ultra-reliable low latency applications in the next generation wireless networks. In addition to computational complexity and data association challenges with Kalman-filter localization techniques, estimation errors tend to grow as the user's trajectory speed increases. By exploiting mmWave signals for joint sensing and communication, our approach dispenses with additional sensors adopted in most techniques while retaining high resolution spatial cues. We present a hybrid mobility-aware adaptive framework that selects the Extended Kalman filter at pedestrian speed and the Unscented Kalman filter at vehicular speed. The scheme mitigates data-association problem and estimation errors through adaptive noise scaling, chi-square gating, Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoothing. Evaluations using Absolute Trajectory Error, Relative Pose Error, Normalized Estimated Error Squared and Root Mean Square Error metrics demonstrate roughly 30-60% improvement in their respective regimes indicating a clear advantage over existing approaches tailored to either indoor or static settings.

Autonomous Self-Trained Channel State Prediction Method for mmWave Vehicular Communications

Establishing and maintaining 5G mmWave vehicular connectivity poses a significant challenge due to high user mobility that necessitates frequent triggering of beam switching procedures. Departing from reactive beam switching based on the user device channel state feedback, proactive beam switching prepares in advance for upcoming beam switching decisions by exploiting accurate channel state information (CSI) prediction. In this paper, we develop a framework for autonomous self-trained CSI prediction for mmWave vehicular users where a base station (gNB) collects and labels a dataset that it uses for training recurrent neural network (RNN)-based CSI prediction model. The proposed framework exploits the CSI feedback from vehicular users combined with overhearing the C-V2X cooperative awareness messages (CAMs) they broadcast. We implement and evaluate the proposed framework using deepMIMO dataset generation environment and demonstrate its capability to provide accurate CSI prediction for 5G mmWave vehicular users. CSI prediction model is trained and its capability to provide accurate CSI predictions from various input features are investigated.
