- Abstract summary: We introduce a novel gradient-based calibration method, complemented by differentiable parametrizations of material properties, scattering and antenna patterns.
We have validated our method using both synthetic data and real-world indoor channel measurements, employing a distributed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel sounder.

- Abstract: Ray tracing (RT) is instrumental in 6G research in order to generate
spatially-consistent and environment-specific channel impulse responses (CIRs).
While acquiring accurate scene geometries is now relatively straightforward,
determining material characteristics requires precise calibration using channel
measurements. We therefore introduce a novel gradient-based calibration method,
complemented by differentiable parametrizations of material properties,
scattering and antenna patterns. Our method seamlessly integrates with
differentiable ray tracers that enable the computation of derivatives of CIRs
with respect to these parameters. Essentially, we approach field computation as
a large computational graph wherein parameters are trainable akin to weights of
a neural network (NN). We have validated our method using both synthetic data
and real-world indoor channel measurements, employing a distributed
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel sounder.

ray tracing (RT) is widely seen as an enabling technology for DTs of the radio access network (RAN) segment of next-generation wireless systems.
The effectiveness of RT hinges on the adaptation of the electromagnetic properties assumed by the RT to actual channel conditions.

We propose an efficient online approximate Bayesian inference algorithm for estimating the parameters of a nonlinear function from a potentially non-stationary data stream.
The method is based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF), but uses a novel low-rank plus diagonal decomposition of the posterior matrix.
In contrast to methods based on variational inference, our method is fully deterministic, and does not require step-size tuning.
