GPINND: A deep-learning-based state of health estimation for Lithium-ion battery

Electrochemical models offer superior interpretability and reliability for battery degradation diagnosis. However, the high computational cost of iterative parameter identification severely hinders the practical implementation of electrochemically informed state of health (SOH) estimation in real-time systems. To address this challenge, this paper proposes an SOH estimation method that integrates deep learning with electrochemical mechanisms and adopts a sequential training strategy. First, we construct a hybrid-driven surrogate model to learn internal electrochemical dynamics by fusing high-fidelity simulation data with physical constraints. This model subsequently serves as an accurate and differentiable physical kernel for voltage reconstruction. Then, we develop a self-supervised framework to train a parameter identification network by minimizing the voltage reconstruction error. The resulting model enables the non-iterative identification of aging parameters from external measurements. Finally, utilizing the identified parameters as physicochemical health indicators, we establish a high-precision SOH estimation network that leverages data-driven residual correction to compensate for identification deviations. Crucially, a sequential training strategy is applied across these modules to effectively mitigate convergence issues and improve the accuracy of each module. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an average voltage reconstruction root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.0198 V and an SOH estimation RMSE of 0.0014.

Graph Neural Network for Location- and Orientation-Assisted mmWave Beam Alignment

In massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, the main bottlenecks of location- and orientation-assisted beam alignment using deep neural networks (DNNs) are large training overhead and significant performance degradation. This paper proposes a graph neural network (GNN)-based beam selection approach that reduces the training overhead and improves the alignment accuracy, by capitalizing on the strong expressive ability and few trainable parameters of GNN. The channels of beams are correlated according to the beam direction. Therefore, we establish a graph according to the angular correlation between beams and use GNN to capture the channel correlation between adjacent beams, which helps accelerate the learning process and enhance the beam alignment performance. Compared to existing DNN-based algorithms, the proposed method requires only 20\% of the dataset size to achieve equivalent accuracy and improves the Top-1 accuracy by 10\% when using the same dataset.
