    The focus of this white paper is on machine learning (ML) in wireless communications. 6G wireless communication networks will be the backbone of the digital transformation of societies by providing ubiquitous, reliable, and near-instant wireless connectivity for humans and machines. Recent advances in ML research has led enable a wide range of novel technologies such as self-driving vehicles and voice assistants. Such innovation is possible as a result of the availability of advanced ML models, large datasets, and high computational power. On the other hand, the ever-increasing demand for connectivity will require a lot of innovation in 6G wireless networks, and ML tools will play a major role in solving problems in the wireless domain. In this paper, we provide an overview of the vision of how ML will impact the wireless communication systems. We first give an overview of the ML methods that have the highest potential to be used in wireless networks. Then, we discuss the problems that can be solved by using ML in various layers of the network such as the physical layer, medium access layer, and application layer. Zero-touch optimization of wireless networks using ML is another interesting aspect that is discussed in this paper. Finally, at the end of each section, important research questions that the section aims to answer are presented

    Given the unprecedented availability of data and computing resources, there is widespread renewed interest in applying data-driven machine learning methods to problems for which the development of conventional engineering solutions is challenged by modelling or algorithmic deficiencies. This tutorial-style paper starts by addressing the questions of why and when such techniques can be useful. It then provides a high-level introduction to the basics of supervised and unsupervised learning. For both supervised and unsupervised learning, exemplifying applications to communication networks are discussed by distinguishing tasks carried out at the edge and at the cloud segments of the network at different layers of the protocol stack

    Deep Learning Based on Orthogonal Approximate Message Passing for CP-Free OFDM

    Full text link
    Channel estimation and signal detection are very challenging for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system without cyclic prefix (CP). In this article, deep learning based on orthogonal approximate message passing (DL-OAMP) is used to address these problems. The DL-OAMP receiver includes a channel estimation neural network (CE-Net) and a signal detection neural network based on OAMP, called OAMP-Net. The CE-Net is initialized by the least square channel estimation algorithm and refined by minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) neural network. The OAMP-Net is established by unfolding the iterative OAMP algorithm and adding some trainable parameters to improve the detection performance. The DL-OAMP receiver is with low complexity and can estimate time-varying channels with only a single training. Simulation results demonstrate that the bit-error rate (BER) of the proposed scheme is lower than those of competitive algorithms for high-order modulation.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, updated manuscript, International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2019). arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1903.0476
