Multivariate Wireless Link Quality Prediction Based on Pre-trained Large Language Models

Accurate and reliable link quality prediction (LQP) is crucial for optimizing network performance, ensuring communication stability, and enhancing user experience in wireless communications. However, LQP faces significant challenges due to the dynamic and lossy nature of wireless links, which are influenced by interference, multipath effects, fading, and blockage. In this paper, we propose GAT-LLM, a novel multivariate wireless link quality prediction model that combines Large Language Models (LLMs) with Graph Attention Networks (GAT) to enable accurate and reliable multivariate LQP of wireless communications. By framing LQP as a time series prediction task and appropriately preprocessing the input data, we leverage LLMs to improve the accuracy of link quality prediction. To address the limitations of LLMs in multivariate prediction due to typically handling one-dimensional data, we integrate GAT to model interdependencies among multiple variables across different protocol layers, enhancing the model's ability to handle complex dependencies. Experimental results demonstrate that GAT-LLM significantly improves the accuracy and robustness of link quality prediction, particularly in multi-step prediction scenarios.

A CSI Feedback Framework based on Transmitting the Important Values and Generating the Others

The application of deep learning (DL)-based channel state information (CSI) feedback frameworks in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems has significantly improved reconstruction accuracy. However, the limited generalization of widely adopted autoencoder-based networks for CSI feedback challenges consistent performance under dynamic wireless channel conditions and varying communication overhead constraints. To enhance the robustness of DL-based CSI feedback across diverse channel scenarios, we propose a novel framework, ITUG, where the user equipment (UE) transmits only a selected portion of critical values in the CSI matrix, while a generative model deployed at the BS reconstructs the remaining values. Specifically, we introduce a scoring algorithm to identify important values based on amplitude and contrast, an encoding algorithm to convert these values into a bit stream for transmission using adaptive bit length and a modified Huffman codebook, and a Transformer-based generative network named TPMVNet to recover the untransmitted values based on the received important values. Experimental results demonstrate that the ITUG framework, equipped with a single TPMVNet, achieves superior reconstruction performance compared to several high-performance autoencoder models across various channel conditions.

CharacterEval: A Chinese Benchmark for Role-Playing Conversational Agent Evaluation

Recently, the advent of large language models (LLMs) has revolutionized generative agents. Among them, Role-Playing Conversational Agents (RPCAs) attract considerable attention due to their ability to emotionally engage users. However, the absence of a comprehensive benchmark impedes progress in this field. To bridge this gap, we introduce CharacterEval, a Chinese benchmark for comprehensive RPCA assessment, complemented by a tailored high-quality dataset. The dataset comprises 1,785 multi-turn role-playing dialogues, encompassing 23,020 examples and featuring 77 characters derived from Chinese novels and scripts. It was carefully constructed, beginning with initial dialogue extraction via GPT-4, followed by rigorous human-led quality control, and enhanced with in-depth character profiles sourced from Baidu Baike. CharacterEval employs a multifaceted evaluation approach, encompassing thirteen targeted metrics on four dimensions. Comprehensive experiments on CharacterEval demonstrate that Chinese LLMs exhibit more promising capabilities than GPT-4 in Chinese role-playing conversation. Source code, data source and reward model will be publicly accessible at https://github.com/morecry/CharacterEval.

Dig-CSI: A Distributed and Generative Model Assisted CSI Feedback Training Framework

The advent of deep learning (DL)-based models has significantly advanced Channel State Information (CSI) feedback mechanisms in wireless communication systems. However, traditional approaches often suffer from high communication overhead and potential privacy risks due to the centralized nature of CSI data processing. To address these challenges, we design a CSI feedback training framework called Dig-CSI, in which the dataset for training the CSI feedback model is produced by the distributed generators uploaded by each user equipment (UE), but not through local data upload. Each UE trains an autoencoder, where the decoder is considered as the distributed generator, with local data to gain reconstruction accuracy and the ability to generate. Experimental results show that Dig-CSI can train a global CSI feedback model with comparable performance to the model trained with classical centralized learning with a much lighter communication overhead.
