To further enhance its performance, multiple input multiple output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) has been adopted in this work. However, carrier frequency offset (CFO) can disrupt the orthogonality of the MIMO-OFDM signal, which significantly degrades the performance of the reader’s receiver. To address this issue, we consider an asynchronous ABC system and propose a deep learning (DL) algorithm to estimate and compensate the CFO at the reader, ensuring reliable communication in MIMO-OFDM-based ABC systems. The proposed architecture integrates a hybrid attention mechanism, which captures inter-dependencies between the two types of extracted features, and a squeeze-and-excitation network that adaptively refines channel-wise feature responses. The proposed architecture can also work for conventional OFDM and MIMO-OFDM systems. Furthermore, to validate the model’s robustness and generalization capability, additional test datasets are generated for various modulation schemes and different 3GPP TR38.901 tapped delay line channel models. The simulation results indicate its outperformance over existing approaches and has lower computational complexity than the existing methods.","PeriodicalId":13197,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Letters","volume":"30 ","pages":"377-381"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148488447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In dense urban environments, however, the received signal strength (RSS) exhibits complex multi-scale characteristics, where smooth large-scale path loss coexists with sharp local variations caused by geometry-induced line-of-sight/non-line-of-sight (LOS/NLOS) transitions. Such heterogeneity poses a significant challenge for RME, especially under sparse sampling conditions. Existing interpolation- and learning-based methods often suffer from severe performance degradation, as they lack intrinsic physical propagation priors to effectively model these heterogeneous patterns. To address this challenge, we propose PhySNet, a physics-inspired framework that explicitly disentangles large-scale trends and local variations through FFT-based spectral decomposition. The resulting decoupled components are then utilized as physics-guided queries in a novel Spectral Cross-Window Attention (SCWA) mechanism, enabling efficient spatial feature aggregation. Subsequently, a spatially aware fusion network further refines the aggregated features by incorporating local environmental semantics. Experimental results on ray-tracing-based urban simulation datasets demonstrate that PhySNet consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of RMSE and spatial consistency, offering a robust and scalable solution for rapid radio map construction in complex electromagnetic environments.","PeriodicalId":13197,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Letters","volume":"30 ","pages":"2426-2430"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148488907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simultaneously, the user leverages the line-of-sight (LoS) component to estimate its position, thereby enabling the ISAC functionality.

To address this challenge, we propose a hybrid spatial and contextual learning framework. Specifically, a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) is employed to extract spatial features from instantaneous channel observations, while a frozen large language model (LLM) provides contextual guidance based on statistical descriptors. The two components are integrated through a residual connection to derive the final port selection decision. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves sum-rate performance close to that of the brute-force search and is highly competitive with the greedy method. Moreover, the execution latency can be reduced to approximately 1/150 of that of the greedy method.","PeriodicalId":13197,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Letters","volume":"30 ","pages":"2455-2459"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148489680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These snapshots jointly enhance the effectiveness of the proposed lightweight denoiser based on nonlinear activation free network (NAFNet).
