1Measurement precision
If traditional channel estimation methods are used, then system complexity remains manageable, but channel estimation accuracy deteriorates under varying input sizes and high mobility conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic channel estimation system that adapts to varying input sizes and channel conditions. The neural network model dynamically adjusts its processing based on the input signal characteristics, enabling accurate estimation under high mobility and varying resource allocation scenarios without requiring multiple fixed-size models.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key parameters including input size, resource block allocation, and mobility conditions to train and evaluate the channel estimation model. The neural network learns to handle parameter variations by being trained on diverse datasets representing different channel conditions, input sizes, and mobility scenarios.
2Measurement precision
If channel estimation accuracy is improved for varying input sizes, then computational resource constraints increase
Solution Approach 1:
The neural network model performs partial processing by focusing computational resources on the most critical channel estimation tasks. The model processes only the necessary portions of the input signal required for accurate estimation, avoiding unnecessary computations while maintaining accuracy under varying input sizes and channel conditions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If fixed-size input models are used, then model simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to varying channel conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent develops a universal channel estimation model that handles multiple functions including varying input sizes, different resource block allocations, and diverse mobility conditions. This single multi-functional model replaces the need for multiple specialized models, achieving adaptability while managing complexity through unified architecture design.

AI summary
A BS includes a processor. The processor is configured to obtain a training data set for a varying size input channel estimation (CE) model, the training data having at least a first size, and train the varying size input CE model with the training data set. The BS also includes a transceiver operatively coupled to the processor. The transceiver is configured to receive, over a wireless communication channel, a sounding reference signal (SRS). The processor is further configured to provide, to the trained varying size input CE model, an input signal based on the SRS, the input signal having a size that is one of the first size or a second size different from the first size, and receive, from the trained varying size input CE model, a CE for the wireless communication channel generated by the trained varying size input CE model based on the input signal.
