WiSER: A Wireless Scene Encoder for Geometry-Grounded Multi-View Wireless Prediction

Indoor wireless propagation is governed by the interaction among three-dimensional (3D) scene geometry, radiomaterial properties, and transmitter and receiver configuration, which jointly determine both aggregate coverage behavior and path-level multipath structure. However, most learning-based site-specific prediction methods are designed for a single wireless representation, such as radiomap estimation or channel impulse response (CIR) prediction, and therefore do not explicitly exploit the propagation structure shared across heterogeneous wireless views. This paper introduces WiSER, a Wireless Scene Encoder for joint radiomap and multipath CIR prediction. WiSER maps a sparse voxel representation of an indoor scene and a transmitter location into a transmitter-conditioned sparse 3D scene memory, which is queried by two structure-aware decoders: a ray-corridor decoder for dense receiver-plane path-gain prediction and a Detection Transformer (DETR)-style set decoder for variable cardinality delay and power tap prediction. To train and evaluate this setting, we construct a co-registered indoor scene and wireless dataset pipeline using ScanNet++ indoor scenes and Sionna Ray Tracing, producing aligned sparse voxel inputs, dense radiomap labels, and unordered multipath CIR tap sets under a common coordinate frame and propagation configuration. Experimental results show that WiSER outperforms scene-specific radiomap baselines and substantially improves matched delay and power prediction over reference CIR baselines. These results suggest that transmitter-conditioned sparse 3D scene representations can serve as reusable wireless scene encoders for heterogeneous propagation queries, providing a geometry-grounded step toward representation learning and foundation-model development for AI-native wireless systems.

A Python/CuPy Software Correlator for QUEST: Real-Time Performance and Initial Imaging

We present a Python/CuPy FX software correlator for small radio interferometer arrays and evaluate it on QUEST (Qilu University Explorer Survey Telescope). The system combines multi-threaded data ingest, pinned-memory host-device transfers, GPU-accelerated correlation, Polyphase Filter Bank channelization, MAD-based RFI flagging, and delay/phase calibration in a single workflow aimed at array commissioning. On a single NVIDIA RTX 4090D GPU, the implementation reaches a peak throughput of 1.51 GB/s, which is sufficient for real-time operation in the four-antenna mode tested here. After calibration, the visibility phase across a clean 1.32-1.38 GHz band is flattened to a residual scatter of a few degrees. Using the calibrated visibilities, we form a four-antenna synthesis image of Cassiopeia A; the CLEANed image recovers a compact source at the phase center and reduces image-domain background fluctuations from order 0.1 to a few 0.01 Jy/beam. These results indicate that the software is suitable for small-array commissioning and initial synthesis imaging on QUEST. A GNSS-based beam measurement is included as a supporting commissioning check.

ASTROFLOW: A Real-Time End-to-End Pipeline for Radio Single-Pulse Searches

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are extremely bright, millisecond duration cosmic transients of unknown origin. The growing number of wide-field and high-time-resolution radio surveys, particularly with next-generation facilities such as the SKA and MeerKAT, will dramatically increase FRB discovery rates, but also produce data volumes that overwhelm conventional search pipelines. Real-time detection thus demands software that is both algorithmically robust and computationally efficient. We present Astroflow, an end-to-end, GPU-accelerated pipeline for single-pulse detection in radio time-frequency data. Built on a unified C++/CUDA core with a Python interface, Astroflow integrates RFI excision, incoherent dedispersion, dynamic-spectrum tiling, and a YOLO-based deep detector. Through vectorized memory access, shared-memory tiling, and OpenMP parallelism, it achieves 10x faster-than-real-time processing on consumer GPUs for a typical 150 s, 2048-channel observation, while preserving high sensitivity across a wide range of pulse widths and dispersion measures. These results establish the feasibility of a fully integrated, GPU-accelerated single-pulse search stack, capable of scaling to the data volumes expected from upcoming large-scale surveys. Astroflow offers a reusable and deployable solution for real-time transient discovery, and provides a framework that can be continuously refined with new data and models.
