Foundation Models for Wireless Localization: Pretraining, Adaptation, and Utilization

Accurate wireless localization is a key enabler for 6G networks, yet remains challenging under diverse and rapidly changing propagation conditions. Model-based methods degrade when multipath channels are non-resolvable and model mismatches occur, while supervised deep learning demands large labeled datasets and generalizes poorly to new deployments. Inspired by foundation models (FMs) in language and vision, this article presents a unified framework for FM-based wireless localization that learns transferable channel representations from large-scale unlabeled channel state information and adapts to new environments with minimal or even no supervision. We review the fundamentals of FMs, compare the FM paradigm with existing localization approaches, and introduce a three-stage framework spanning large-scale pretraining, localization-oriented fine-tuning, and context-augmented inference, together with the location-aware applications it enables. Ray-tracing-based case studies show improved positioning accuracy and cross-environment generalization. Finally, we present an outlook on key research directions toward AI-native networks for wireless localization.

Learnware for CSI Feedback: Scene-specific Small Models Can Do Big

Intelligent channel state information (CSI) feedback is essential for realizing the high capacity and spectral efficiency goals of future 6G systems, yet existing deep learning solutions face a trade-off between model generalization and scenario-specific performance. Large neural networks generalize well but incur high computational and tuning costs, while small models excel in particular environments but require repetitive costly end-to-end training for each base station (BS). To address these challenges, we introduce a model repository-based deployment framework in which a centralized AI data center maintains a catalog of scene-specific CSI models. The repository is enhanced with a Learnware-based framework, where each model is associated with a specification including semantic part (network architecture parameters) and statistical part (codeboo-fingerprint embeddings of training-data distributions). A BS submits only its local statistical specifications to retrieve the most relevant pre-trained model, enhancing data privacy by avoiding raw CSI transmission and drastically reducing retrieval latency and communication overhead. We further develop a data-driven search strategy that matches codebook fingerprints to model performance, achieving over 90% selection accuracy. In simulations, our scheme yields 18.8% and 57.7% performance improvements over the General Model in LOS and NLOS scenarios, respectively while reducing local fine-tuning by up to 1000 samples and 100 epochs. This Learnware-based approach minimizes redundant training, maximizes model reuse, and supports rapid,privacy-enhancing deployment of CSI feedback models.

Long-time behavior of optimal mixing in an advection-diffusion shell model

We investigate the long-time behavior of optimal mixing in an advection-diffusion equation using a shell model framework. Our focus is on quantifying the decay of the scalar variance, measured by the negative Sobolev norm $H^{-1}$, under enstrophy-constrained stirring. We perform long-time computations using both local-in-time (maximizing the instantaneous mixing rate) and global-in-time (maximizing mixedness at a prescribed final time) optimization strategies. For mixing with diffusion ($κ>0$), the numerical results show that the scalar length scale eventually becomes limited by a generalized Batchelor scale, in close agreement with theoretical predictions. In this regime, the $H^{-1}$ mix-norm decays exponentially in time with a decay rate that is independent of the diffusivity $κ$. Compared with the purely advective case ($κ= 0$), diffusion significantly enhances the long-time mixing rate; moreover, increasing diffusivity further improves mixing efficiency by reducing the prefactor of the exponential decay. Guided by these numerical observations, we derive new conditional lower bounds on the $H^{-1}$ norm whose exponential decay rates are strictly independent of the diffusivity parameter $κ$, for all $κ> 0$. We further establish conditional upper bounds on the maximal rate of enhanced dissipation of the scalar variance, showing that the effective diffusion time scale is at least of the order $|\logκ|$.

WirelessOpsAgent: A Benchmark and Agent Design for Action Assurance in Wireless Networks

Large language model (LLM) agents are emerging as planners for autonomous wireless network operations. Yet a task answer that is correct at proposal time can still be unsafe at execution time if supporting telemetry is stale or inconsistent. Existing benchmarks mainly evaluate task solving from fixed observations and leave support checking at execution time untested. We introduce WirelessOptBench, a benchmark for action assurance in wireless operations. It turns wireless tasks into execution state decision episodes with controlled telemetry faults and action constraints. We further develop WirelessOpsAgent, which grounds candidate actions in current evidence and repairs recoverable support failures before execution. Across three backbone evaluations with 600 episodes each, WirelessOpsAgent achieves up to 0.983 Exact Action Accuracy. On Claude Sonnet 4.6, the Unsafe APPLY Rate decreases from 82.2% to 10.3% relative to the safest baseline. We make WirelessOptBench available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/wirelessopsbench-artifact-D969/.

CORF-GS: Real-Time Wireless Radiance Field Reconstruction via Coupled Optical-RF Gaussian Splatting

Recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS)-based wireless radiance field (WRF) reconstruction provide an efficient solution for wireless channel modeling. However, existing WRF reconstruction methods rely on pre-collected observations and offline optimization, and thus struggle to provide real-time channel knowledge. To bridge this gap, we propose CORF-GS, a real-time WRF reconstruction framework that processes sequential optical and radio frequency (RF) keyframes. Specifically, CORF-GS constructs a unified Gaussian representation for optical and RF with shared geometry and modality-specific appearance, allowing high-resolution optical images to provide structural priors for WRF reconstruction. When a new keyframe arrives, CORF-GS first employs optical-guided Gaussian sampling to densify the WRF in under-represented regions. Since light and radio waves may respond differently to the same object surfaces due to wavelength mismatch, relying solely on optical guidance may neglect RF-informative areas. Therefore, CORF-GS performs coupled optical-RF optimization to jointly refine the shared Gaussians. Compared with the existing two-stage training pipelines, this prevents WRF from passively adapting to a frozen optical geometry and encourages the shared Gaussians to adapt to both optical structures and RF power distributions. Simulations show that CORF-GS achieves state-of-the-art RF spectrum synthesis quality and reduces the reconstruction time by $6.4\times$ compared with existing WRF methods.

Physics-Informed Path-Parametric Learning for Efficient and Lightweight CSI Feedback

Channel State Information (CSI) feedback is vital for high spectral efficiency in wireless systems, yet high-dimensional CSI introduce significant feedback overhead. Recent deep learning (DL) approaches alleviate this issue by treating CSI as a visual image, but such "black-box" designs often lack interpretability, producing CSI that is not consistent with multipath propagation principles. To address these limitations, this paper proposes HS-PINNnet, a Hierarchical Sensing mechanism assisted Physics-Informed Neural Network for CSI Feedback. Unlike vision-inspired methods, HS-PINNnet integrates a multipath channel model into the network, reformulating high-dimensional CSI reconstruction as low-dimensional multipath parameter estimation (e.g., amplitude, angle). HS-PINNnet features a hierarchical sensing encoder to produce a compact multipath representation, and a heterogeneous decoder for parameter-specific CSI reconstruction, with dedicated branches to estimate different parameters. Moreover, a PCD module adaptively estimates the number of dominant paths in each CSI sample to enhance generalization across diverse environments. A subchannel-wise shared encoding and parallel decoding strategy is further designed to decompose high-dimensional CSI processing into low-dimensional subchannel tasks, reducing training difficulty and improving scalability of HS-PINNnet for future extremely large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (XL-MIMO) systems. Simulation results show that HS-PINNnet outperforms the state-of-the-art under different configurations, achieving a 92.8% reduction in FLOPs and exhibiting two orders of magnitude lower FPGA simulation latency.

Foundation Models for Wireless Communications: From PHY Intelligence to Network Autonomy

6G networks will introduce unprecedented complexity, which calls for a paradigm shift in network optimization and management. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions, especially those enabled by the recently developed foundation models, have been recognized as promising candidates. Foundation models are large-scale AI models with general-purpose feature extraction capabilities, and once trained on massive amounts of data, they can be adapted to solve a wide range of downstream tasks, either in a zero-shot manner or with few-shot fine-tuning. This article provides a comprehensive overview of how foundation models are reshaping physical-layer processing and wireless resource management across three progressive paradigms. First, we examine the adaptation of off-the-shelf pre-trained foundation models to various wireless tasks. Second, we explore wireless-native foundation models, built from scratch on wireless data to bridge cross-domain modality gaps and capture universal wireless-domain physical characteristics. Third, we highlight agentic foundation models, which elevate static data processing into autonomous, reasoning-driven network orchestration. Furthermore, we discuss the impact of applying foundation models to emerging 6G frontiers, including integrated sensing and communications (ISAC), new multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architectures, semantic communications, and system-level network autonomy. Finally, we identify critical open challenges and opportunities, charting a promising path toward fully intelligent and adaptive wireless networks.

GeoGS-CE: Learning Delay--Beam Channel Priors with 3D Gaussians for High-Mobility Scenarios

Wideband channel estimation (CE) in high-mobility scenarios remains challenging because channel responses vary rapidly, while practical systems can allocate only sparse pilots to accommodate dense users. Fortunately, many high-mobility environments, such as high-speed railways, exhibit scheduled trajectories, predictable velocities, and a limited number of dominant propagation paths. These properties induce a delay--beam power spectrum that is more stable than the instantaneous complex channel frequency response (CFR), less sensitive to the random phase coherence, and rich in geometric information. To exploit such environmental properties, we propose GeoGS-CE, a two-stage channel estimation framework for sparse-pilot high-mobility scenarios. In the offline stage, GeoGS-CE jointly models: 1) a scene-level 3D Gaussian representation that captures the non-line-of-sight (NLoS) geometric scattering support, and 2) a leakage-aware differentiable wireless rendering process that maps the NLoS Gaussians, together with an explicit virtual line-of-sight (LoS) component, to the measured delay--beam power spectrum, while accounting for practical OFDM delay and array leakage effects. In the online stage, the delay--beam power spectrum is predicted for each user location and used as a strong covariance prior, enabling accurate full-band and full-array CFR reconstruction and tracking through a linear MMSE estimator. Simulations based on channels generated from a segment of the Guangshen high-speed railway show that the proposed geometric prior substantially improves CFR reconstruction over pilot-only and non-geometric baselines.

AI-Empowered Low-Altitude Economy: Cooperative Sensing With Fixed Wireless Access

The rapid growth of the low-altitude economy has intensified safety concerns arising from unauthorized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), positioning UAV supervision as a key use case in 3GPP. To precisely sense such UAVs with wide coverage and low cost, we leverage fixed wireless access (FWA) customer premises equipment (CPEs), static, densely deployed devices that serve as wireless cameras for the radio environment. We develop an artificial intelligence-empowered two-stage cooperative sensing pipeline that exploits uplink channel state information (CSI) from multiple base station-CPE pairs for UAV detection and localization. In cooperative detection, lightweight CSI features are first individually extracted by neural network, and then adaptively integrated through an attention-based scheme to declare UAV presence. The learned attention scores effectively identify the critical pairs during detection, while facilitating UAV-affected pair selection for subsequent localization. For cooperative localization, neural network initially generates individual estimates and extract CSI features from selected pairs. These estimates, together with features and pair indexes, are fused using a Transformer to produce a precise cooperative estimate. Simulations show that cooperative schemes significantly reduce the missed detection probability to 0.63% and realize a 95%-confidence positioning error of 6.50 m, satisfying 3GPP requirements and showing the potential of FWA-assisted cooperative sensing. Dataset and codes are available on GitHub.

Intention-Aware Semantic Agent Communications for AI Glasses

Smart glasses are emerging as a promising interface between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) agents, enabling first-person perception, contextual awareness, and real-time assistance. However, continuous offloading of visual data from wearable devices to cloud-based vision-language models (VLMs) is fundamentally constrained by limited wireless bandwidth and energy resources. This paper proposes an intention-aware semantic agent communication framework for AI glasses, where data transmission is guided by user intention rather than raw pixel fidelity. In the proposed architecture, AI glasses act as an edge semantic agent while a server-side VLM executes high-level cognition and reasoning. The user intention can be inferred by the server-side VLM through the current transmitted content and the historical prompts. Driven by specific user intentions, the glasses adaptively preserve textual content, document layout, or object semantics before transmission. We evaluate three representative scenarios with different lightweight preprocessing tools on the AI glasses. Simulation results demonstrate that intention-aware preprocessing significantly achieves more than 50% bandwidth reduction depending on the current task while maintaining task performance. Moreover, semantic transmission exhibits graceful degradation under low SNRs. The findings demonstrate that aligning communication resources with user intention is essential for robust and efficient wearable AI agent systems.

AgentComm: Semantic Communication for Embodied Agents

The increasing deployment of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems has intensified the demand for efficient agent to agent communication, particularly over bandwidth limited wireless links. In embodied AI applications, agents must exchange task related information under strict latency and reliability constraints. Existing agent communication methods primarily focus on connectivity and protocol efficiency, but lack effective mechanisms to reduce physical layer transmission overhead while preserving task semantics.To address this challenge, this paper proposes a semantic agent communication framework that reduces communication overhead while maintaining task performance and shared understanding among agents. An LLM based semantic processor is first introduced to reorganize and condense agent generated messages by extracting task relevant semantic content. To cope with information loss introduced by aggressive message reduction, an importance-aware semantic transmission strategy is developed, which adaptively protects semantic components according to their task importance. Furthermore, a task specific knowledge base is incorporated as long term semantic memory to support recurring tasks and further reduce bandwidth consumption with minimal performance degradation. Experimental results and ablation studies demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves nearly 50% bandwidth reduction with negligible loss in task completion performance compared to conventional transmission schemes.

FPNet: Joint Wi-Fi Beamforming Matrix Feedback and Anomaly-Aware Indoor Positioning

Channel State Information (CSI) provides a detailed description of the wireless channel and has been widely adopted for Wi-Fi sensing, particularly for high-precision indoor positioning. However, complete CSI is rarely available in real-world deployments due to hardware constraints and the high communication overhead required for feedback. Moreover, existing positioning models lack mechanisms to detect when users move outside their trained regions, leading to unreliable estimates in dynamic environments. In this paper, we present FPNet, a unified deep learning framework that jointly addresses channel feedback compression, accurate indoor positioning, and robust anomaly detection (AD). FPNet leverages the beamforming feedback matrix (BFM), a compressed CSI representation natively supported by IEEE 802.11ac/ax/be protocols, to minimize feedback overhead while preserving critical positioning features. To enhance reliability, we integrate ADBlock, a lightweight AD module trained on normal BFM samples, which identifies out-of-distribution scenarios when users exit predefined spatial regions. Experimental results using standard 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi hardware show that FPNet achieves positioning accuracy above 97% with only 100 feedback bits, boosts net throughput by up to 22.92%, and attains AD accuracy over 99% with a false alarm rate below 1.5%. These results demonstrate FPNet's ability to deliver efficient, accurate, and reliable indoor positioning on commodity Wi-Fi devices.

Out-of-Band Modality Synergy Based Multi-User Beam Prediction and Proactive BS Selection with Zero Pilot Overhead

Multi-user millimeter-wave communication relies on narrow beams and dense cell deployments to ensure reliable connectivity. However, tracking optimal beams for multiple mobile users across multiple base stations (BSs) results in significant signaling overhead. Recent works have explored the capability of out-of-band (OOB) modalities in obtaining spatial characteristics of wireless channels and reducing pilot overhead in single-BS single-user/multi-user systems. However, applying OOB modalities for multi-BS selection towards dense cell deployments leads to high coordination overhead, i.e, excessive computing overhead and high latency in data exchange. How to leverage OOB modalities to eliminate pilot overhead and achieve efficient multi-BS coordination in multi-BS systems remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we propose a novel OOB modality synergy (OMS) based mobility management scheme to realize multi-user beam prediction and proactive BS selection by synergizing two OOB modalities, i.e., vision and location. Specifically, mobile users are initially identified via spatial alignment of visual sensing and location feedback, and then tracked according to the temporal correlation in image sequence. Subsequently, a binary encoding map based gain and beam prediction network (BEM-GBPN) is designed to predict beamforming gains and optimal beams for mobile users at each BS, such that a central unit can control the BSs to perform user handoff and beam switching. Simulation results indicate that the proposed OMS-based mobility management scheme enhances beam prediction and BS selection accuracy and enables users to achieve 91% transmission rates of the optimal with zero pilot overhead and significantly improve multi-BS coordination efficiency compared to existing methods.

The motivations and key frameworks of these approaches are comprehensively examined through multiple use cases. Both strategies significantly improve performance and adaptability across diverse wireless scenarios. Future research directions, including efficient architectures, interpretability, standardized datasets, and collaboration between large and small models, are proposed to advance LAM-based physical layer solutions for next-generation communication systems.

MUSE-FM: Multi-task Environment-aware Foundation Model for Wireless Communications

Recent advancements in foundation models (FMs) have attracted increasing attention in the wireless communication domain. Leveraging the powerful multi-task learning capability, FMs hold the promise of unifying multiple tasks of wireless communication with a single framework. Nevertheless, existing wireless FMs face limitations in the uniformity to address multiple tasks with diverse inputs/outputs across different communication scenarios. In this paper, we propose a MUlti-taSk Environment-aware FM (MUSE-FM) with a unified architecture to handle multiple tasks in wireless communications, while effectively incorporating scenario information. Specifically, to achieve task uniformity, we propose a unified prompt-guided data encoder-decoder pair to handle data with heterogeneous formats and distributions across different tasks. Besides, we integrate the environmental context as a multi-modal input, which serves as prior knowledge of environment and channel distributions and facilitates cross-scenario feature extraction. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed MUSE-FM outperforms existing methods for various tasks, and its prompt-guided encoder-decoder pair facilitates few-shot adaptation to new task configurations. Moreover, the incorporation of environment information improves the ability to adapt to different scenarios.

AI-Driven Subcarrier-Level CQI Feedback

The Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) is a fundamental component of channel state information (CSI) that enables adaptive modulation and coding by selecting the optimal modulation and coding scheme to meet a target block error rate. While AI-enabled CSI feedback has achieved significant advances, especially in precoding matrix index feedback, AI-based CQI feedback remains underexplored. Conventional subband-based CQI approaches, due to coarse granularity, often fail to capture fine frequency-selective variations and thus lead to suboptimal resource allocation. In this paper, we propose an AI-driven subcarrier-level CQI feedback framework tailored for 6G and NextG systems. First, we introduce CQInet, an autoencoder-based scheme that compresses per-subcarrier CQI at the user equipment and reconstructs it at the base station, significantly reducing feedback overhead without compromising CQI accuracy. Simulation results show that CQInet increases the effective data rate by 7.6% relative to traditional subband CQI under equivalent feedback overhead. Building on this, we develop SR-CQInet, which leverages super-resolution to infer fine-grained subcarrier CQI from sparsely reported CSI reference signals (CSI-RS). SR-CQInet reduces CSI-RS overhead to 3.5% of CQInet's requirements while maintaining comparable throughput. These results demonstrate that AI-driven subcarrier-level CQI feedback can substantially enhance spectral efficiency and reliability in future wireless networks.

Large and Small Model Collaboration for Air Interface

Large artificial intelligence models (LAMs) have shown strong capability in wireless communications, yet existing works mainly rely on their generalized knowledge across environments while overlooking the potential gains of environment-specific adaptation. Directly fine-tuning LAMs for adaptation is often impractical due to prohibitive training costs, low inference efficiency in multi-user scenarios, and the risk of catastrophic forgetting, in addition to the limited accessibility of model parameters. To address these limitations, we establish a collaborative framework for air interface. In this framework, unlike prior approaches that either depend solely on LAMs or require direct fine-tuning, LAMs are exploited as a universal channel knowledge base while small artificial intelligence models (SAMs) are employed as lightweight plugins to capture environment-specific knowledge, facilitating efficient environment-specific adaptation of LAMs. Subsequently, we instantiate this framework for CSI feedback tasks, and develop a large and small collaboration framework for CSI feedback, referred to as LASCO. LASCO operates by letting the base LAM produce an initial CSI reconstruction, learning the environment-induced reconstruction shift through a reference SAM and a proxy SAM, and transferring this shift back to the LAM. To further enhance adaptability, we introduce elastic-LASCO (E-LASCO), which augments LASCO with learnable collaboration coefficients that control the contribution of LAMs and SAMs across different environments. Numerical results demonstrate that LASCO and E-LASCO enables LAMs to achieve environment-specific performance gains with significantly reduced training costs, lower data collection requirements, and faster adaptation speed.

Joint Active and Passive Beamforming with Sensing-Assisted Discrete Phase Shifts for Dual-RIS ISAC Systems

Targeting the requirements of 6G, this paper investigates a semi-passive dual-reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, tackling the max-min user signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) problem via joint active and passive beamforming to enhance system performance and ensure user fairness. Addressing this challenge, we first utilize dual RISs for user angle estimation to simplify the solution process of the formulated problem, an efficient alternating optimization algorithm is then developed. Specifically, semi-definite relaxation and the bisection method are employed to solve the transmit beamforming optimization subproblem. For the RIS discrete phase shifts, a sensing-assisted approach is adopted to constrain the optimization search space, with two distinct low-complexity search strategies introduced for different RIS sizes. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves performance close to the ideal continuous phase shift benchmark, outperforms conventional discrete phase shift optimization algorithms, and exhibits a significant improvement over single-RIS systems.
