Alatawi, A. (ECE) – Learning-Based Channel Estimation for Next-Generation Wireless Communications

Merrill Acad 002
Hybrid Event

Accurate Channel State Information (CSI) is critical for coherent detection, equalization, and adaptive resource allocation in modern wireless systems. Traditional estimators rely on stationary statistical models, and many learning-based methods assume training and deployment conditions are matched. In practice, these assumptions break down under user mobility and environmental dynamics, leading to degraded performance. This proposal […]
