Abstract

Wireless channel measurements across multiple spatial directions are crucial for AI-driven applications, such as RF digital twins and integrated communication and sensing. However, collecting channel data across large scenes is labor-intensive. Wireless NeRFs address this challenge by learning propagation behavior from sparse measurements and synthesizing channel spatial spectrum magnitude at unseen locations. However, existing wireless NeRFs inherit dense volumetric sampling from vision NeRFs, which requires substantial computation. This paper asks whether such dense sampling is necessary for predicting magnitudes of the wireless spatial spectrum. We empirically show that wireless NeRFs are over-parameterized for this task and introduce SV-INGP, a sparse volumetric sampling variant of Instant Neural Graphics Primitives (INGP). Across real-world and simulated datasets, SV-INGP matches the median Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) of the NeRF2 baseline while reducing training time by 184x. These results generalize across LoS and NLoS scenes, sub-6 and millimeter-wave frequencies, and antenna array tapering configurations, suggesting a simpler and more efficient design path for RF digital twins

Memory in Behavioral Models as Motion on a Slow Invariant Manifold

A single-tone large-signal operating point of a nonlinear two-port is a periodic orbit of a periodically forced circuit. When the device has memory (self-heating, trapping), the Floquet exponents of that orbit separate into fast (electrical) and slow (thermal and trapping) modes, and long-term memory is motion on the invariant manifold attached to the slow modes. An existence and uniqueness theorem for that manifold follows from the parameterization method of Cabré, Fontich and de la Llave, applied to the stroboscopic map at the orbit; the manifold is the spectral submanifold of Haller and Ponsioen, without a small-forcing parameter. The manifold is a bundle over the circle of drive phase, its fiber dimension the number of slow Floquet exponents, and the dynamic X-parameter kernel of Verspecht et al. identifies its reduced dynamics from step changes of the drive amplitude. Consequently, an exact reduced model has as many memory states as slow exponents, the memoryless X-parameter surface is the fixed-point family of the reduced dynamics, and the envelope-domain model is the reduced dynamics driven by the envelope. The hypotheses are verified and the manifold constructed for a GaN HEMT compact model with a three-pole thermal network and a drain-lag trap: the trap contributes a $14\,μ$s time constant set by the linearization and not by its $6$ ms emission time, the thermal submanifolds are nearly flat with linear reduced dynamics, and the expansion in the trap direction is valid only within a few thermal voltages ($nV_T\approx26$ mV), so trap memory needs a global representation of the manifold.

Blind Interference Suppression in IRS-Aided Wireless Systems: A Statistical Channel Ratio Estimation Approach

This paper addresses the problem of suppressing non-cooperative interference in intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided wireless links without any channel state information (CSI) or cooperation from the interferer. We propose a fully blind framework that relies solely on received signal power measurements. A key insight is that nulling the aggregate interference channel requires only the complex ratios between the IRS-reflected paths and the direct interference link, rather than absolute CSI. We develop a novel estimation algorithm that obtains unbiased estimates of these channel ratios using only power samples collected under random IRS configurations. Theoretically, we prove that unbiased estimation is feasible when the number of discrete phase levels $K\geq 3$, and establish the Cramer-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) for both the phase offset and amplitude ratio estimates, thus providing design guidance. Based on the estimated ratios, we propose two low-complexity IRS phase optimization algorithms: a one-shot greedy method and an iterative variant that mitigates error propagation from weakly reflecting elements. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed schemes can suppress strong interference to within a few dB of the interference-free upper bound, offering a practical, CSI-free solution for robust wireless communications in contested spectral environments.

Blind Interference Suppression for IRS-Aided Robust Wireless Communications

The application of intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) to suppress interference in wireless communication systems has recently attracted significant research attention. Most existing approaches rely on complete or partial channel state information (CSI) to configure the IRS. However, acquiring accurate CSI in IRS-assisted systems involves considerable pilot overhead and introduces non-negligible delays. This issue is further exacerbated under strong interference conditions, where interfering sources are typically non-cooperative, making CSI acquisition even more challenging. As a result, existing CSI-dependent interference suppression methods become difficult to deploy in practice. To address these limitations, we propose a novel blind interference suppression strategy that combines a proportional phase-inversion (PPI) algorithm with the conditional sample mean (CSM) method. The proposed approach determines the IRS configuration using only the received signal power, without requiring any prior CSI. We conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation by deriving the theoretical performance of the proposed scheme, which is subsequently verified through numerical simulations. Furthermore, simulation results across various parameter settings demonstrate that the proposed blind interference suppression scheme reduces the interference power to the level of noise, thereby achieving a marked signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) improvement and outperforms existing benchmark schemes.
