Title: Learn to Optimize for Wireless Communications

Abstract: Machine learning will have an important role to play in the optimization of future-generation physical-layer wireless communication system design for the following two reasons. First, traditional wireless communication design always relies on the channel model, but models are inherently only an approximation to the reality. In wireless environments where the models are complex and the channels are costly to estimate, a machine learning based approach that performs system-level optimization without explicit channel estimation can significantly outperform the traditional channel estimation based approaches. Second, modern wireless communication design often involves optimization problems that are high-dimensional, nonconvex, and difficult to solve efficiently. By exploring the availability of training data, a neural network may be able to learn the solution of an optimization problem directly. This can lead to a more efficient way to solve nonconvex optimization problems. In this talk, I will use examples from optimizing a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) system, precoding for a massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system, and active sensing for mmWave channel initial alignment to illustrate the benefit of learning-based physical-layer communication system design. We illustrate that matching the neural network architecture to the problem structure is crucial for the success of learning based approaches.
