• Abstract: Communication in high frequencies such as millimeter wave and terahertz suffer from high path-loss and intense shadowing which necessitates beamforming for reliable data transmission. On the other hand, at high frequencies the channels are sparse and consist of few spatial clusters. Therefore, beam alignment (BA) strategies are used to find the direction of these channel clusters and adjust the width of the beam used for data transmission. In this work, a single-user uplink scenario where the channel has one dominant cluster is considered. It is assumed that the user transmits a set of BA packets over a fixed duration. Meanwhile, the base-station (BS) uses different probing beams to scan different angular regions. Since the BS measurements are noisy, it is not possible to find a narrow beam that includes the angle of arrival (AoA) of the user with probability one. Therefore, the BS allocates a narrow beam to the user which includes the AoA of the user with a predetermined error probability while minimizing the expected beamwidth of the allocated beam. Due to intractability of this noisy BA problem, here this problem is posed as an end-to-end optimization of a deep neural network (DNN) and effects of different loss functions are discussed and investigated. It is observed that the proposed DNN based BA, at high SNRs, achieves a performance close to that of the optimal BA when there is no-noise and for all SNRs, outperforms state-of-the-art.

  Blind-spot networks (BSN) have been prevalent network architectures in self-supervised image denoising (SSID) We present a transformer-based blind-spot network (TBSN) by analyzing and redesigning the transformer operators that meet the blind-spot requirement. For spatial self-attention, an elaborate mask is applied to the attention matrix to restrict its receptive field, thus mimicking the dilated convolution. For channel self-attention, we observe that it may leak the blind-spot information when the channel number is greater than spatial size in the deep layers of multi-scale architectures.

  This paper addresses two major challenges in terahertz (THz) channel estimation: the beam-split phenomenon and computational complexity. Data-driven techniques are known to mitigate the complexity of this problem but usually require the transmission of the datasets from the users to a central server. In this work, we employ federated learning (FL), wherein the users transmit only the model parameters instead of the whole dataset.

  A deep neural network (DNN) can predict the beam that is best slanted to each UE by using the received signal strengths ( RSSs) from a subset of possible narrow beams. We present an adversarial attack by generating perturbations to manipulate the over-the-air captured RSSs as the input to the DNN. This attack reduces the IA performance significantly and fools the DNN into choosing the beams with small RSSs compared to jamming attacks with Gaussian or uniform noise.
