Phase-Aware CNN advances real-time 5G/6G channel estimation · 2 sources tracked

Researchers have developed a phase-aware Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for real-time channel estimation in 5G and 6G wireless systems. This approach aims to overcome limitations of traditional methods and existing deep learning techniques, particularly in accurately reconstructing signal phase. The CNN utilizes sine and cosine representations for phase-aware input encoding and a lightweight architecture, enabling stable phase prediction and efficient real-time inference on edge devices. Validation includes hardware-in-the-loop testing with an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) testbed, demonstrating improved accuracy and generalization compared to least squares and MMSE baselines. AI
