Unlocking the Potential of Local CSI in Cell-Free Networks with Channel Aging and Fronthaul Delays
Centralized or distributed precoding? This is perhaps the most heated debate in the Cell-free Massive MIMO literature. However, in this work we argue that the best option may actually be a mix of the two. The reason is that centralized precoding,...
Towards Bridging the Gap between Near and Far-Field Characterizations of the Wireless Channel
Exploring near-field propagation is vital for 6G technologies like intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS). Unlike far-field models, near-field models offer accuracy critical for applications such as beamforming and multiple-access, enhancing...
Explainable AI for Time Series via Virtual Inspection Layers
For time series data, where the input itself is often not interpretable, dedicated XAI research is scarce. In this work, we put forward a virtual inspection layer for transforming the time series to an interpretable representation and allows to...
