Accurate channel estimation is a major challenge in the next generation of wireless communication networks. To fully exploit setups with many antennas, estimation errors must be kept small. This can be achieved by exploiting the structure inherent in the channel vectors. For example, line-of-sight paths result in highly correlated channel coefficients.

Filtering is the fundamental operation upon which the field of signal processing is built. Loosely speaking, filtering is a mapping between signals, typically used to extract useful information (output signal) from data (input signal). Arguably, the most popular type of filter is the linear and shift-invariant (i.e. independent of the starting point of the signal) filter, which can be computed efficiently by leveraging the convolution operation. 

The upcoming 5G network needs to achieve substantially larger link capacity and ultra-low latency to support emerging mobile applications. While conventional techniques have reached their limits, uplifting the carrier frequency to the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) band stands out as an effective approach to further boost the network capacity, as it provides orders of magnitude greater spectrum than current cellular bands.

With the explosive growth of data, it is a heavy burden for users to store the sheer amount of data locally. Therefore, more and more organizations and individuals would like to store their data in the cloud. However, the data stored in the cloud might be corrupted or lost due to the inevitable software bugs, hardware faults and human errors in the cloud. 

Monte Carlo (MC) methods are a set of fascinating computational techniques that have attracted ever-increasing attention in the last decades. They are based on the simulation of random samples that are used for diverse purposes, such as numerical integration or optimization.

Deep learning on graphs, also known as Geometric deep learning (GDL) [1], Graph representation learning (GRL), or relational inductive biases, has recently become one of the hottest topics in machine learning. While early works on graph learning go back at least a decade [2], if not two [3], it is undoubtedly the past few years’ progress that has taken these methods from a niche into the spotlight of the Machine Learning (ML) community.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) as an application of AI, has today become an inevitable part of major industries such as healthcare, financial trending, and transportation. Future urgent need to intelligently utilize wireless resources to meet the need of ever-increasing diversity in services and user behavior, has actuated the wireless communication industry to deploy AI and ML techniques.
