Researchers have developed a novel beamforming method for millimeter-wave (mmWave) cell-free massive MIMO systems that utilizes graph neural networks (GNNs) to learn beamformers from sub-6 GHz channel state information (CSI). This approach significantly reduces the overhead associated with acquiring full mmWave CSI. The system is modeled as a wireless graph, and the GNN is trained to optimize downlink sum-rate by capturing inter-user interference and inter-base-station cooperation. Simulation results indicate that this sub-6 GHz-assisted GNN-based beamformer performs competitively, often outperforming traditional methods that rely on complete mmWave CSI. AI
