According to the present disclosure, there are provided methods and devices for estimating a high-dimensional MIMO channel by expressing the MIMO channel in the form of a flow function to determine a change from an input state to an output state. This may be considered similar to a manner in which fluid dynamic problems are solved. Instead of using linearization to estimate all of the coefficients of a matrix representing a MIMO channel, a receiver may determine the MIMO channel rank by detecting leading modes in a subspace of the entire MIMO channel matrix.

A method and system are provided for scheduling data transmission in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system. The MIMO system may comprise at least one MIMO transmitter and at least one MIMO receiver. Feedback from one or more receivers may be used by a transmitter to improve quality, capacity, and scheduling in MIMO communication systems. The method may include generating or receiving information pertaining to a MIMO channel metric and information pertaining to a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) in respect of a transmitted signal; and sending a next transmission to a receiver using a MIMO mode selected in accordance with the information pertaining to the MIMO channel metric, and an adaptive coding and modulation selected in accordance with the information pertaining to the CQI.

A wireless network can generate candidate signal configurations for physical transmissions to or from a user equipment (UE) in a radio environment. The generation of candidate signal configurations can be performed using a first neural network that is associated with the UE. These signal configurations can then be evaluated using a second neural network that is associated with the radio environment. The second neural network can be trained using measurements from previous physical transmissions in the radio environment. The trained second neural network generates a reward value that is associated with the candidate signal configurations. The first neural network is then trained using the reward values from the second neural network to produce improved candidate signal configurations. When a signal configuration that produces a suitable reward value is generated, this signal configuration can be used for the physical transmission in the radio environment.
