Bayesian Inference and Generative Models for Parameter Estimation in Wireless Communication Systems

Abstract

In 6G communication systems, accurate channel state information plays a more critical role than ever. This talk will present a machine learning assisted approach to improve parameter estimation algorithms to achieve channel estimation performance beyond the state of the art. The proposed approach is based on the use of environmental ambient information characterizing the propagation environment of a given cell or sector of a wireless communication system, which can be captured using generative models. To this end, it requires spatial and temporal channel state information acquired at the base station from all users throughout its operational lifetime; in this sense, therefore, it is a Big Data approach. In contrast to the frequently voiced criticism, this talk considers the location dependence of the ML-based approach as a feature rather than a failure. The potential of the proposed approach is demonstrated through numerical Monte Carlo simulations and scenario-in-the-loop experiments.

Short bio:

Wolfgang Utschick (Fellow, IEEE) received his degrees in electrical engineering with honors from Technical University Munich.
