Multiple Correlated Jammers Nullification using LSTM-based Deep Dueling Neural Network

Abstract

Suppressing the deliberate interference for wireless networks is critical to guarantee a reliable communication link. However, nullifying the jamming signals can be problematic when the correlations between transmitted jamming signals are deliberately varied over time. Specifically, recent studies reveal that by deliberately varying the correlations among jamming signals, attackers can effectively vary the jamming channels and thus their nullspace, even when the physical channels remain unchanged. That makes the beam-forming matrix derived from the nullspace of the jamming channels unable to suppress the jamming signals. Most existing solutions only consider unchanged correlations or heuristically adapt to the time-varying correlation problem by continuously monitoring the residual jamming signals before updating the beam-forming matrix. In this paper, we systematically formulate the optimization problem of the nullspace estimation and data transmission phases. Even ignoring the unknown strategy of the jammers and the challenging nullspace estimation process, the resulting problem is an integer programming problem, hence intractable to obtain its optimal solution. To tackle it and address the unknown strategy of the jammer, we reformulate the problem using a partially observable semi-Markov decision process (POSMDP) and then design a deep dueling Q-learning based framework to tune the duration of the nullspace estimation and data transmission phases. Extensive simulations demonstrate that the proposed techniques effectively deal with jamming signals whose correlations vary over time, and the range of correlations is unknown. Especially, our techniques do not require continuous monitoring of the residual jamming signals (after the nullification process) before updating the beam-forming matrix. As such, the system is more spectral-efficient and has a lower outage probability.

From Continuous sEMG Signals to Discrete Muscle State Tokens: A Robust and Interpretable Representation Framework

Surface electromyography (sEMG) signals exhibit substantial inter-subject variability and are highly susceptible to noise, posing challenges for robust and interpretable decoding. To address these limitations, we propose a discrete representation of sEMG signals based on a physiology-informed tokenization framework. The method employs a sliding window aligned with the minimal muscle contraction cycle to isolate individual muscle activation events. From each window, ten time-frequency features, including root mean square (RMS) and median frequency (MDF), are extracted, and K-means clustering is applied to group segments into representative muscle-state tokens. We also introduce a large-scale benchmark dataset, ActionEMG-43, comprising 43 diverse actions and sEMG recordings from 16 major muscle groups across the body. Based on this dataset, we conduct extensive evaluations to assess the inter-subject consistency, representation capacity, and interpretability of the proposed sEMG tokens. Our results show that the token representation exhibits high inter-subject consistency (Cohen's Kappa = 0.82+-0.09), indicating that the learned tokens capture consistent and subject-independent muscle activation patterns. In action recognition tasks, models using sEMG tokens achieve Top-1 accuracies of 75.5% with ViT and 67.9% with SVM, outperforming raw-signal baselines (72.8% and 64.4%, respectively), despite a 96% reduction in input dimensionality. In movement quality assessment, the tokens intuitively reveal patterns of muscle underactivation and compensatory activation, offering interpretable insights into neuromuscular control. Together, these findings highlight the effectiveness of tokenized sEMG representations as a compact, generalizable, and physiologically meaningful feature space for applications in rehabilitation, human-machine interaction, and motor function analysis.

Adaptive 3D-RoPE: Physics-Aligned Rotary Positional Encoding for Wireless Foundation Models

Wireless foundation models (WFMs) have emerged as a promising paradigm for unified channel state information (CSI) acquisition across diverse tasks in sixth-generation (6G) networks. Although WFMs significantly outperform task-specific small models, their zero-shot cross-scenario generalization still remains limited for real-world applications. Existing positional embeddings, the sole interface through which self-attention perceives the temporal-frequency-antenna 3D physical coordinates of CSI, fail to capture the highly dynamic and axis-dependent coherence inherent in wireless channels. This paper proposes Adaptive 3D-RoPE, a channel-driven 3D rotary positional embedding framework for WFMs to dynamically align the 3D positional embeddings with the instantaneous coherence state of heterogeneous CSI. The design proceeds in three stages: first, an axis-wise learnable rotary prior independently preserves the temporal, frequency, and antenna coordinate structures; second, a feature-guided rotary modulation module maps the feature-wise standard deviation of visible CSI tokens to compact, sample-adaptive scales; third, identical coordinate offsets induce dynamically adjusted query-key interactions tailored to the instantaneous channel state. Extensive experiments on both simulated and measured datasets validate the effectiveness of Adaptive 3D-RoPE across three complementary dimensions. It reduces NMSE by 10.14, 6.25, and 4.61 dB relative to baselines under antenna, temporal, and frequency scaling, respectively. It transfers effectively to real-world measured CSI and remains robust under imperfect CSI. Finally, it transfers to the independently designed LWM backbone and beam-prediction task, improving zero-shot Top-1 accuracy by 8.03 percentage points.

Data driven approach for Outdoor Channel Prediction in 5G and Beyond

An evolution of Wireless Communications towards 5G and beyond provides improved user experience in terms of quality of services. Understanding and estimating Channel information plays crucial role in providing better user experience. Traditional methods of channel estimation involves periodically sending pilots (known signals), estimating channel and send back estimated channel information to the BS which increases computational complexity and communication complexity. Hence, we focus on data driven approach for channel estimation. In this work, we explore a channel estimation mechanism at 7GHz frequency band for a given user location. This work involves data generation using Ray tracing mechanism and Machine learning model training that contains feature variables such as transmitter location, user location and target variable as channel coefficient . We explored Support Vector Regression, K-nearest neighbor (KNN), Random Forest, XGBoost and MLP. We found via simulations that XG Boost and proposed MLP performs better than Support Vector Regression, KNN and Random forest regression.
