A method includes storing multiple signals received from a user equipment (UE) in a queue. The method also includes estimating a sounding reference signal (SRS) signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) and determining a filtered SNR based on the received signals. The method also includes computing one or more features based on the filtered SNR and at least some of the received signals in the queue. The method also includes determining (i) a channel condition of the UE and (ii) a speed range of the UE based on the one or more computed features, wherein the channel condition of the UE comprises line-of-sight (LoS) or non-line-of-sight (NLoS). The method also includes determining a transmission configuration based on the channel condition of the UE and the speed range of the UE.

Low complexity machine learning based channel classifier

A method and device for self-tuning scales of variables for processing in fixed-point hardware. The device includes a sequence of fixed-point arithmetic circuits configured to receive at least one input signal and output at least one output signal. The circuits are preconfigured with control scales associated with each of the input and output signals. A first circuit in the sequence is configured to receive a first input signal having a dynamic true scale that is different from the control scale associated with the first input signal. Each of the circuits is further configured to determine, for each of the output signals, an adaptive scale from the control scale associated with the output signal based on the true scale of the first input signal and the control scale associated with the first input signal, and generate, from the input signal, the output signal having the associated adaptive scale.

Self-tuning fixed-point least-squares solver

A method includes identifying ACF information by: obtaining channel information including multiple channels of expected operation scenarios; and based on the channel information for each of the channels, determining MMSE channel estimation (CE) weights expressed in a form of ACFs and an SNR, and covariance matrices. The method includes clustering the MMSE CE weights into K clusters. A center ACF weight of each of the K clusters represents a codeword. The method includes determining a distance metric based on a cluster distance after a re-clustering. The method includes, in response to a determination that cluster distances before and after the clustering differ from each other by a non-negligibly, iteratively re-clustering the ACF information thereby updating the center ACF weights and cluster distances. The method includes generating the codebook to include an index k of each of the K clusters and the center ACF weight of each of the K clusters.

Codebook for AI-assisted channel estimation

Methods and apparatuses for a channel estimation and prediction operation in a wireless communication systems. A method of a BS comprises: receiving an SRS; partitioning, based on a partition policy, a frequency band of the SRS into sub-bandwidths in a frequency domain; generating, based on previously stored CSI in memory and the partition policy, a set of chunks corresponding to respective sub-bandwidths; performing CHPD operations corresponding to the respective sub-bandwidths to generate channel parameters, wherein different CHPD operations are applied to the respective sub-bandwidths; combining the channel parameters predicted from the respective sub-bandwidths in the frequency domain; and performing, based on the combined channel parameters, a channel estimation and prediction operation.

Method and apparatus for bandwidth-adaptive and model-order-adaptive channel prediction

A method for operating a base station comprises receiving channel information from a plurality of UEs; determining, based on the channel information, one or more UEs on which to base a channel prediction; computing a first set of metrics and a second set of metrics corresponding to the plurality of UEs, wherein computing the first set of metrics has a lower complexity than computing the second set of metrics; performing a selection process on the plurality of UEs based on the first and second set of metrics associated with the plurality of UEs; selecting a first subset of UEs from the plurality of UEs based on a first set of metrics; selecting, from the first subset, a second subset of UEs based on a second set of metrics; and performing the channel prediction based on the second subset of UEs.
