• Abstract summary: The paper proposes a data-driven approach to air-to-ground channel estimation in a millimeter-wave wireless network on an unmanned aerial vehicle. We use Federated Learning (FL) for channel estimation and can predict the air-to-ground path loss between a low-altitude platform and a terrestrial terminal. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed model, we evaluate its performance using Kullback-Leibler divergence (KL), and Wasserstein distance between the synthetic data distribution generated by the model and the actual data distribution.

• Abstract: The paper proposes a data-driven approach to air-to-ground channel estimation in a millimeter-wave wireless network on an unmanned aerial vehicle. Unlike traditional centralized learning methods that are specific to certain geographical areas and inappropriate for others, we propose a generalized model that uses Federated Learning (FL) for channel estimation and can predict the air-to-ground path loss between a low-altitude platform and a terrestrial terminal. To this end, our proposed FL-based Generative Adversarial Network (FL-GAN) is designed to function as a generative data model that can learn different types of data distributions and generate realistic patterns from the same distributions without requiring prior data analysis before the training phase. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed model, we evaluate its performance using Kullback-Leibler divergence (KL), and Wasserstein distance between the synthetic data distribution generated by the model and the actual data distribution. We also compare the proposed technique with other generative models, such as FL-Variational Autoencoder (FL-VAE) and stand-alone VAE and GAN models. The results of the study show that the synthetic data generated by FL-GAN has the highest similarity in distribution with the real data. This shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach in generating data-driven channel models that can be used in different regions

  Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) represent a contemporary class of generative models with exceptional qualities. We build a novel generative model for link prediction using a dedicated design to decompose the likelihood estimation process via the Bayesian formula. Our proposed method presents numerous advantages: (1) transferability across datasets without retraining, (2) promising generalization on limited training data, and (3) robustness against graph adversarial attacks.

  Test-time adaptation (TTA) aims to enhance the performance of source-domain pretrained models when tested on unknown shifted target domains. Traditional TTA methods primarily adapt model weights based on target data streams, making model performance sensitive to the amount and order of target data. Recent diffusion-driven TTA methods have demonstrated strong performance by using an unconditional diffusion model.

  We focus on Federated learning (FL) via edge-the-air computation (AirComp) We describe the convergence of AirComp-based FedAvg (AirFedAvg) algorithms under both convex and non- convex settings. For different types of local updates that can be transmitted by edge devices (i.e., model, gradient, model difference), we reveal that transmitting in AirFedAvg may cause an aggregation error. In addition, we consider more practical signal processing schemes to improve the communication efficiency and extend the convergence analysis to different forms of model aggregation error caused by these signal processing schemes.

  The complexity of channel modelling and the cost of collecting high-quality wireless channel data have become major challenges. We propose a diffusion model based channel sampling approach for rapidly realizations from limited data. We show that, compared to existing GAN based approaches which suffer from mode collapse and unstable training, our diffusion based approach trains synthesizingly and generates diverse and high-fidelity samples.

A cooperative framework, based on a distributed CGAN architecture, is developed, allowing each UAV to collaboratively learn the mmWave channel distribution.
