WiNeRF: Measurement Constrained Radiance Fields for Actionable Wireless Channel Modeling

Wireless embedded systems increasingly rely on wireless channel information for decision making, yet practical platforms operate under severe constraints, including few antennas, narrow bandwidth, and sparse, noisy measurements. While neural field based approaches inspired by Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) have recently been explored for continuous wireless channel modeling, existing approaches depend on dense measurements or external priors such as known geometry, visual context, or angle-of-arrival (AoA) information, limiting their practicality in real-world deployments. We present WiNeRF, a neural field framework that learns a spatially continuous, complex-valued wireless channel representation directly from sparse channel state information (CSI) collected by commodity WiFi devices. WiNeRF embeds intrinsic system constraints, such as antenna geometry, limited spatial resolution, and phase uncertainty, as inductive biases through a 3D conical wave sampling model, a multi-resolution implicit scene representation, and a differentiable optimization framework for complex-valued channel learning. Across diverse indoor environments with non-line-of-sight (NLoS) regions, WiNeRF achieves a median prediction SNR of 5.3 dB, outperforming prior neural baselines by 4.9 dB on average (approximately 3x higher prediction SNR), and produces a task-agnostic channel representation that can be directly reused in standard signal-processing pipelines, including beamforming, AoA estimation, and RSSI coverage mapping, without modifying existing hardware or wireless protocols.

Physics-Unrolled Neural Operator for Wireless Field Modeling

Radio maps are essential for wireless decision-making tasks such as access-point placement, coverage planning, and localization, but their fine spatial details are governed by complex propagation effects and are costly to simulate accurately. Machine learning offers a path to high-fidelity radio-map prediction without running expensive high-fidelity simulations for every scene. However, generating high-quality training labels at scale is also difficult: the affordable labels come from finite-ray simulations, which are richer than low-fidelity inputs but carry residual Monte Carlo noise. We address this challenge with Physics-Unrolled Hybrid Neural Operator (PU-HNO), a three-stage cascade that predicts high-fidelity indoor radio maps from low-fidelity ray-tracing outputs and scene priors by progressively capturing reflection, diffraction, and scattering effects, rather than treating radio maps as generic images. We prove that, under conditionally unbiased label noise, the model can learn stable propagation structure and outperform its own training labels. Experiments across diverse floorplans show that PU-HNO outperforms image-to-image baselines, wireless learning models, and monolithic neural operators across both image-quality and wireless deployment metrics.

GCNO: Gramian Chebyshev Neural Operator for Physics-Based Compression of Wireless Channels

Large antenna arrays allow wireless systems to serve more users and achieve higher data rates, but they also make channel feedback expensive: the receiving device must repeatedly report a large complex-valued channel matrix to the base station. Most neural compressors treat this matrix like an image and replace it with a fixed-length code that only a matched neural decoder can interpret. The message therefore does not adapt to channel complexity, and changing the antenna count typically requires retraining. We ask whether a device can instead report only the few dominant propagation paths underlying each channel. We introduce the Gramian Chebyshev Neural Operator (GCNO), a physics-based, variable-rate compressor that identifies a sample-dependent set of path directions. GCNO uses receive-transmit channel structure to locate paths, a first-order Taylor correction to refine directions that fall between grid points, and least squares to recover their complex strengths. It is trained without path labels, and the base station reconstructs the channel analytically from the transmitted path tuples rather than through a learned decoder. Across three ray-traced environments, GCNO achieves better reconstruction accuracy at the same payload - or lower payload at the same accuracy - than neural feedback baselines, and transfers to unseen antenna counts without retraining.

MetaFAP: Meta-Learning for Frequency Agnostic Prediction of Metasurface Properties

Metasurfaces, and in particular reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), are revolutionizing wireless communications by dynamically controlling electromagnetic waves. Recent wireless communication advancements necessitate broadband and multi-band RIS, capable of supporting dynamic spectrum access and carrier aggregation from sub-6 GHz to mmWave and THz bands. The inherent frequency dependence of meta-atom resonances degrades performance as operating conditions change, making real-time, frequency-agnostic metasurface property prediction crucial for practical deployment. Yet, accurately predicting metasurface behavior across different frequencies remains challenging. Traditional simulations struggle with complexity, while standard deep learning models often overfit or generalize poorly. To address this, we introduce MetaFAP (Meta-Learning for Frequency-Agnostic Prediction), a novel framework built on the meta-learning paradigm for predicting metasurface properties. By training on diverse frequency tasks, MetaFAP learns broadly applicable patterns. This allows it to adapt quickly to new spectral conditions with minimal data, solving key limitations of existing methods. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that MetaFAP reduces prediction errors by an order of magnitude in MSE and MAE while maintaining high Pearson correlations. Remarkably, it achieves inference in less than a millisecond, bypassing the computational bottlenecks of traditional simulations, which take minutes per unit cell and scale poorly with array size. These improvements enable real-time RIS optimization in dynamic environments and support scalable, frequency-agnostic designs. MetaFAP thus bridges the gap between intelligent electromagnetic systems and practical deployment, offering a critical tool for next-generation wireless networks.

Beyond Traditional Beamforming: Singular Vector Projection for MU-MIMO

This letter introduces a low-complexity beamforming approach for MU-MIMO systems with multiple data streams per user, minimizing inter-user interference and improving spectral efficiency (SE). The Interference-Optimized Singular Vector Beamforming (IOSVB) algorithm is developed by correlating inter-user interference with channel singular vectors. It blends interference minimization and SE maximization by identifying ideal singular vectors. Extensive simulations demonstrate that IOSVB provides near-optimal SE performance, closely matching exhaustive search results while reducing the computational overhead. This novel approach in MU-MIMO systems is a promising option for future 6G wireless communication networks due to its excellent performance and reduced complexity.

Self-supervised Contrastive Learning for 6G UM-MIMO THz Communications: Improving Robustness Under Imperfect CSI

This paper investigates the potential of contrastive learning in 6G ultra-massive multiple-input multiple-output (UM-MIMO) communication systems, specifically focusing on hybrid beamforming under imperfect channel state information (CSI) conditions at THz. UM-MIMO systems are promising for future 6G wireless communication networks due to their high spectral efficiency and capacity. The accuracy of CSI significantly influences the performance of UM-MIMO systems. However, acquiring perfect CSI is challenging due to various practical constraints such as channel estimation errors, feedback delays, and hardware imperfections. To address this issue, we propose a novel self-supervised contrastive learning-based approach for hybrid beamforming, which is robust against imperfect CSI. We demonstrate the power of contrastive learning to tackle the challenges posed by imperfect CSI and show that our proposed method results in improved system performance in terms of achievable rate compared to traditional methods.

Real-time Seismic Intensity Prediction using Self-supervised Contrastive GNN for Earthquake Early Warning

Seismic intensity prediction from early or initial seismic waves received by a few seismic stations can enhance Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) systems, particularly in ground motion-based approaches like PLUM. While many operational EEW systems currently utilize point-source-based models that estimate the warning area based on magnitude and distance measures, direct intensity prediction offers a potential improvement in accuracy and reliability. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning approach, Seismic Contrastive Graph Neural Network (SC-GNN), for highly accurate seismic intensity prediction using a small portion of initial seismic waveforms from a few seismic stations. The SC-GNN consists of two key components: (i) a graph neural network (GNN) to propagate spatiotemporal information through a graph-like structure representing seismic station distribution and wave propagation, and (ii) a self-supervised contrastive learning component to train the network with larger time windows and enable predictions using shorter initial waveforms. The efficacy of our approach is demonstrated through experiments on three real-world seismic datasets, where it shows superior performance over existing techniques, including a significant reduction in mean squared error (MSE) and the lowest standard deviation of error, indicating its robustness, reliability, and strong positive relationship between predicted and actual values. Notably, the SC-GNN model maintains superior performance even with 5s input waveforms, making it especially suitable for enhancing EEW applications.

A Fast Effective Greedy Approach for MU-MIMO Beam Selection in mm-Wave and THz Communications

This paper addresses the beam-selection challenges in Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) beamforming for mm-wave and THz channels, focusing on the pivotal aspect of spectral efficiency (SE) and computational efficiency. We introduce a novel approach, the Greedy Interference-Optimized Singular Vector Beam-selection (G-IOSVB) algorithm, which offers a strategic balance between high SE and low computational complexity. Our study embarks on a comparative analysis of G-IOSVB against the traditional IOSVB and the exhaustive Singular-Vector Beamspace Search (SVBS) algorithms. The findings reveal that while SVBS achieves the highest SE, it incurs significant computational costs, approximately 162 seconds per channel realization. In contrast, G-IOSVB aligns closely with IOSVB in SE performance yet is markedly more computationally efficient. Heatmaps vividly demonstrate this efficiency, highlighting G-IOSVB's reduced computation time without sacrificing SE. We also delve into the mathematical intricacies of G-IOSVB, demonstrating its theoretical and practical superiority through rigorous expressions and detailed algorithmic analysis. The numerical results illustrate that G-IOSVB stands out as an efficient, practical solution for MU-MIMO systems, making it a promising candidate for high-speed, high-efficiency wireless communication networks.

A CNN based Multifaceted Signal Processing Framework for Heart Rate Proctoring Using Millimeter Wave Radar Ballistocardiography

The recent pandemic has refocused the medical world's attention on the diagnostic techniques associated with cardiovascular disease. Heart rate provides a real-time snapshot of cardiovascular health. A more precise heart rate reading provides a better understanding of cardiac muscle activity. Although many existing diagnostic techniques are approaching the limits of perfection, there remains potential for further development. In this paper, we propose MIBINET, a convolutional neural network for real-time proctoring of heart rate via inter-beat-interval (IBI) from millimeter wave (mm-wave) radar ballistocardiography signals. This network can be used in hospitals, homes, and passenger vehicles due to its lightweight and contactless properties. It employs classical signal processing prior to fitting the data into the network. Although MIBINET is primarily designed to work on mm-wave signals, it is found equally effective on signals of various modalities such as PCG, ECG, and PPG. Extensive experimental results and a thorough comparison with the current state-of-the-art on mm-wave signals demonstrate the viability and versatility of the proposed methodology.

Automated Level Crossing System: A Computer Vision Based Approach with Raspberry Pi Microcontroller

In a rapidly flourishing country like Bangladesh, accidents in unmanned level crossings are increasing daily. This study presents a deep learning-based approach for automating level crossing junctions, ensuring maximum safety. Here, we develop a fully automated technique using computer vision on a microcontroller that will reduce and eliminate level-crossing deaths and accidents. A Raspberry Pi microcontroller detects impending trains using computer vision on live video, and the intersection is closed until the incoming train passes unimpeded. Live video activity recognition and object detection algorithms scan the junction 24/7. Self-regulating microcontrollers control the entire process. When persistent unauthorized activity is identified, authorities, such as police and fire brigade, are notified via automated messages and notifications. The microcontroller evaluates live rail-track data, and arrival and departure times to anticipate ETAs, train position, velocity, and track problems to avoid head-on collisions. This proposed scheme reduces level crossing accidents and fatalities at a lower cost than current market solutions.

A CNN-LSTM-based Fusion Separation Deep Neural Network for 6G Ultra-Massive MIMO Hybrid Beamforming

In the sixth-generation (6G) cellular networks, hybrid beamforming would be a real-time optimization problem that is becoming progressively more challenging. Although numerical computation-based iterative methods such as the minimal mean square error (MMSE) and the alternative manifold-optimization (Alt-Min) can already attain near-optimal performance, their computational cost renders them unsuitable for real-time applications. However, recent studies have demonstrated that machine learning techniques like deep neural networks (DNN) can learn the mapping done by those algorithms between channel state information (CSI) and near-optimal resource allocation, and then approximate this mapping in near real-time. In light of this, we investigate various DNN architectures for beamforming challenges in the terahertz (THz) band for ultra-massive multiple-input multiple-output (UM-MIMO) and explore their contextual mathematical modeling. Specifically, we design a sophisticated 1D convolutional neural network and long short-term memory (1D CNN-LSTM) based fusion-separation scheme, which can approach the performance of the Alt-Min algorithm in terms of spectral efficiency (SE) and, at the same time, use significantly less computational effort. Simulation results indicate that the proposed system can attain almost the same level of SE as that of the numerical iterative algorithms, while incurring a substantial reduction in computational cost. Our DNN-based approach also exhibits exceptional adaptability to diverse network setups and high scalability. Although the current model only addresses the fully connected hybrid architecture, our approach can also be expanded to address a variety of other network topologies.
