PilotWiMAE: Pilot-Native Representation Learning for Wireless Channels
The article introduces PilotWiMAE, a self-supervised framework designed for wireless channel representation learning. It addresses the limitations of existing channel models that assume full channel state information. The framework demonstrates improved performance in channel estimation while reducing observation space and latency.
- ▪PilotWiMAE utilizes noisy pilot observations to enhance wireless channel representation learning.
- ▪The framework allows for a significant reduction in observation space and operates effectively without full-CSI availability.
- ▪PilotWiMAE's design incorporates a factorized approach that improves representation quality and enables competitive channel estimation.
