Context-Aware Wireless Token Communication via Joint Token Masking and Detection

The increasing use of token-based representations in language-driven applications has motivated wireless token communication, where tokens are treated as fundamental units for transmission. However, conventional communication systems overlook dependencies among tokens and allocate transmission resources uniformly, leading to inefficient use of limited wireless resources under channel impairments. In this paper, we propose a context-aware token communication framework that leverages a masked language model (MLM) as a shared contextual model between the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx). At the Rx, we develop a context-aware token detection method that integrates channel likelihoods with MLM-based contextual priors under a Bayesian formulation, enabling robust token inference over noisy channels. At the Tx, we propose a context-aware token masking strategy that selectively omits tokens that can be reliably inferred at the Rx, allowing the available power budget to be concentrated on more informative tokens. These components are jointly designed through a shared MLM, establishing a unified Tx-Rx framework for efficient token transmission and detection. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly improves reconstruction performance compared to conventional and existing token communication schemes, achieving up to 1.77X and 1.63X performance gains on the Europarl corpus and WikiText-103 datasets, respectively.

Beam-Squint-Aided Hierarchical Sensing for Integrated Sensing and Communications with Uniform Planar Arrays

In this paper, we propose a novel hierarchical sensing framework for wideband integrated sensing and communications with uniform planar arrays (UPAs). Leveraging the beam-squint effect inherent in wideband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, the proposed framework enables efficient two-dimensional angle estimation through a structured multi-stage sensing process. Specifically, the sensing procedure first searches over the elevation angle domain, followed by a dedicated search over the azimuth angle domain given the estimated elevation angles. In each stage, true-time-delay lines and phase shifters of the UPA are jointly configured to cover multiple grid points simultaneously across OFDM subcarriers. To enable accurate and efficient target localization, we formulate the angle estimation problem as a sparse signal recovery problem and develop a modified matching pursuit algorithm tailored to the hierarchical sensing architecture. Additionally, we design power allocation strategies that minimize total transmit power while meeting performance requirements for both sensing and communication. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves superior performance over conventional sensing methods with reduced sensing power.

MetaSSD: Meta-Learned Self-Supervised Detection

Deep learning-based symbol detector gains increasing attention due to the simple algorithm design than the traditional model-based algorithms such as Viterbi and BCJR. The supervised learning framework is often employed to predict the input symbols, where training symbols are used to train the model. There are two major limitations in the supervised approaches: a) a model needs to be retrained from scratch when new train symbols come to adapt to a new channel status, and b) the length of the training symbols needs to be longer than a certain threshold to make the model generalize well on unseen symbols. To overcome these challenges, we propose a meta-learning-based self-supervised symbol detector named MetaSSD. Our contribution is two-fold: a) meta-learning helps the model adapt to a new channel environment based on experience with various meta-training environments, and b) self-supervised learning helps the model to use relatively less supervision than the previously suggested learning-based detectors. In experiments, MetaSSD outperforms OFDM-MMSE with noisy channel information and shows comparable results with BCJR. Further ablation studies show the necessity of each component in our framework.

Semi-Data-Aided Channel Estimation for MIMO Systems via Reinforcement Learning

Data-aided channel estimation is a promising solution to improve channel estimation accuracy by exploiting data symbols as pilot signals for updating an initial channel estimate. In this paper, we propose a semi-data-aided channel estimator for multiple-input multiple-output communication systems. Our strategy is to leverage reinforcement learning (RL) for selecting reliable detected symbols among the symbols in the first part of transmitted data block. This strategy facilitates an update of the channel estimate before the end of data block transmission and therefore achieves a significant reduction in communication latency compared to conventional data-aided channel estimation approaches. Towards this end, we first define a Markov decision process (MDP) which sequentially decides whether to use each detected symbol as an additional pilot signal. We then develop an RL algorithm to efficiently find the best policy of the MDP based on a Monte Carlo tree search approach. In this algorithm, we exploit the a-posteriori probability for approximating both the optimal future actions and the corresponding state transitions of the MDP and derive a closed-form expression for the best policy. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed channel estimator effectively mitigates both channel estimation error and detection performance loss caused by insufficient pilot signals.

Covert Model Poisoning Against Federated Learning: Algorithm Design and Optimization

Federated learning (FL), as a type of distributed machine learning frameworks, is vulnerable to external attacks on FL models during parameters transmissions. An attacker in FL may control a number of participant clients, and purposely craft the uploaded model parameters to manipulate system outputs, namely, model poisoning (MP). In this paper, we aim to propose effective MP algorithms to combat state-of-the-art defensive aggregation mechanisms (e.g., Krum and Trimmed mean) implemented at the server without being noticed, i.e., covert MP (CMP). Specifically, we first formulate the MP as an optimization problem by minimizing the Euclidean distance between the manipulated model and designated one, constrained by a defensive aggregation rule. Then, we develop CMP algorithms against different defensive mechanisms based on the solutions of their corresponding optimization problems. Furthermore, to reduce the optimization complexity, we propose low complexity CMP algorithms with a slight performance degradation. In the case that the attacker does not know the defensive aggregation mechanism, we design a blind CMP algorithm, in which the manipulated model will be adjusted properly according to the aggregated model generated by the unknown defensive aggregation. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed CMP algorithms are effective and substantially outperform existing attack mechanisms.

A Compressive Sensing Approach for Federated Learning over Massive MIMO Communication Systems

Federated learning is a privacy-preserving approach to train a global model at a central server by collaborating with wireless devices, each with its own local training data set. In this paper, we present a compressive sensing approach for federated learning over massive multiple-input multiple-output communication systems in which the central server equipped with a massive antenna array communicates with the wireless devices. One major challenge in system design is to reconstruct local gradient vectors accurately at the central server, which are computed-and-sent from the wireless devices. To overcome this challenge, we first establish a transmission strategy to construct sparse transmitted signals from the local gradient vectors at the devices. We then propose a compressive sensing algorithm enabling the server to iteratively find the linear minimum-mean-square-error (LMMSE) estimate of the transmitted signal by exploiting its sparsity. We also derive an analytical threshold for the residual error at each iteration, to design the stopping criterion of the proposed algorithm. We show that for a sparse transmitted signal, the proposed algorithm requires less computationally complexity than LMMSE. Simulation results demonstrate that the presented approach outperforms conventional linear beamforming approaches and reduces the performance gap between federated learning and centralized learning with perfect reconstruction.

Data-Aided Channel Estimator for MIMO Systems via Reinforcement Learning

This paper presents a data-aided channel estimator that reduces the channel estimation error of the conventional linear minimum-mean-squared-error (LMMSE) method for multiple-input multiple-output communication systems. The basic idea is to selectively exploit detected symbol vectors obtained from data detection as additional pilot signals. To optimize the selection of the detected symbol vectors, a Markov decision process (MDP) is defined which finds the best selection to minimize the mean-squared-error (MSE) of the channel estimate. Then a reinforcement learning algorithm is developed to solve this MDP in a computationally efficient manner. Simulation results demonstrate that the presented channel estimator significantly reduces the MSE of the channel estimate and therefore improves the block error rate of the system, compared to the conventional LMMSE method.

Supervised-Learning-Aided Communication Framework for MIMO Systems with Low-Resolution ADCs

This paper considers a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) system with low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). In this system, we propose a novel communication framework that is inspired by supervised learning. The key idea of the proposed framework is to learn the non-linear input-output system, formed by the concatenation of a wireless channel and a quantization function used at the ADCs, for data detection. In this framework, a conventional channel estimation process is replaced by a system learning process, in which the conditional probability mass functions (PMFs) of the nonlinear system are empirically learned by sending the repetitions of all possible data signals as pilot signals. Then the subsequent data detection process is performed based on the empirical conditional PMFs obtained during the system learning. To reduce both the training overhead and the detection complexity, we also develop a supervised-learning-aided successive-interference-cancellation method. In this method, a data signal vector is divided into two subvectors with reduced dimensions. Then these two subvectors are successively detected based on the conditional PMFs that are learned using artificial noise signals and an estimated channel. For the case of one-bit ADCs, we derive an analytical expression for vector-error-rate of the proposed framework under perfect channel knowledge at the receiver. Simulations demonstrate the detection error reduction of the proposed framework compared to conventional detection techniques that are based on channel estimation.
