Single-Base-Station Indoor Localization via Super-Resolved Relative Power Delay Profiles

Indoor multipath is shaped by surrounding reflectors, scatterers, and blockages, so a relative power-delay profile (PDP) can serve as a location fingerprint without an identifiable LoS path, angle information, or absolute time-of-arrival ranging. However, a communication receiver observes finitely many noisy pilot-frequency samples rather than an ideal PDP. This paper models the resulting Dirichlet blur, delay folding, and off-grid mismatch, and reconstructs a posterior-power profile using expectation-maximization sparse Bayesian learning. In spatially consistent QuaDRiGa simulations, twofold SBL raises 20-dB Top-1 accuracy from 75.79\% (native PDP) and 87.24\% (threefold zero-padding) to 93.27\%, with 0.392~m mean error.

Gaussian-Process Dynamics of Diagonal Expectation Propagation under Variance-Profile Gaussian Measurements

State-evolution analyses of approximate-message-passing and expectation-propagation-type algorithms rely on an effective-channel principle: after a suitable Onsager, orthogonal, or extrinsic correction, the nonlinear module receives a fresh scalar Gaussian observation. This paper studies this principle for diagonal expectation propagation under variance-profile Gaussian sensing matrices. The model preserves Gaussian conditioning, but removes the isotropy that supports the usual scalar decoupling arguments. We prove a finite-time large-system description in which the linear EP module remains Gaussian at the coordinate level, but is generally not a fresh scalar channel. Instead, the residuals form a coordinate-dependent Gaussian process whose covariance is shaped by the variance profile and by the finite linear history of the algorithm. The standard diagonal EP cavity cancels the instantaneous response of the incoming message, but may leave a component predictable from past residuals. We characterize this process through a conditioned matrix-Dyson-equation deterministic equivalent and a Schur-complement representation of the linear module. A Gaussian-regression decomposition then separates the predictable memory from the orthogonal innovation and yields an oracle state-evolution-level correction. Thus, under variance-profile measurements, the limiting object for diagonal EP is a Gaussian-process dynamics with profile-dependent memory rather than the conventional fresh-noise scalar state evolution.

Performance Benchmarks for Line Spectral Estimation: Ordered Ziv-Zakai Characterization and Plug-In Amplitude Error Analysis

Line spectral estimation (LSE) involves estimating both spectral frequencies and their associated complex amplitudes. Existing Fisher-information-based benchmarks are local and therefore do not capture either the threshold behavior of frequency estimation or the propagation of frequency errors to subsequent amplitude reconstruction. This paper develops explicit performance benchmarks for LSE from two complementary perspectives: ordered frequency estimation and plug-in amplitude reconstruction. On the frequency side, we develop a computable Ziv-Zakai bound (ZZB)-type benchmark under an ordered prior by combining a generalized-likelihood-ratio-test (GLRT)-based surrogate for the unavailable pairwise kernel with an ordered-prior correction. The resulting benchmark recovers the ordered a priori bound at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the marginalized frequency-side Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) at high SNR. On the amplitude side, we derive a local transfer characterization for the sequential plug-in estimator and obtain a computable benchmark for the induced amplitude error. The resulting framework explicitly characterizes threshold behavior on the frequency side and error propagation on the amplitude side. Numerical results support the proposed benchmarks across different SNR regimes, snapshot numbers, and model orders.

Tensor-Structured Bayesian Channel Prediction for Upper Mid-Band XL-MIMO Systems

The upper mid-band balances coverage and capacity for the future cellular systems and also embraces XL-MIMO systems, offering enhanced spectral and energy efficiency. However, these benefits are significantly degraded under mobility due to channel aging, and further exacerbated by the unique near-field (NF) and spatial non-stationarity (SnS) propagation in such systems. To address this challenge, we propose a novel channel prediction approach that incorporates dedicated channel modeling, probabilistic representations, and Bayesian inference algorithms for this emerging scenario. Specifically, we develop tensor-structured channel models in both the spatial-frequency-temporal (SFT) and beam-delay-Doppler (BDD) domains, which leverage temporal correlations among multiple pilot symbols for channel prediction. The factor matrices of multi-linear transformations are parameterized by BDD domain grids and SnS factors, where beam domain grids are jointly determined by angles and slopes under spatial-chirp based NF representations. To enable tractable inference, we replace environment-dependent BDD domain grids with uniformly sampled ones, and introduce perturbation parameters in each domain to mitigate grid mismatch. We further propose a hybrid beam domain strategy that integrates angle-only sampling with slope hyperparameterization to avoid the computational burden of explicit slope sampling. Based on the probabilistic models, we develop tensor-structured bi-layer inference (TS-BLI) algorithm under the expectation-maximization (EM) framework, which reduces computational complexity via tensor operations by leveraging the bi-layer factor graph for approximate E-step inference and an alternating strategy with closed-form updates in the M-step. Numerical simulations based on the near-practical channel simulator demonstrate the superior channel prediction performance of the proposed algorithm.

A Tensor-Structured Approach to Dynamic Channel Prediction for Massive MIMO Systems with Temporal Non-Stationarity

In moderate- to high-mobility scenarios, channel state information (CSI) varies rapidly and becomes temporally non-stationary, leading to significant performance degradation in channel reciprocity-dependent massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission. To address this challenge, we propose a tensor-structured approach to dynamic channel prediction (TS-DCP) for massive MIMO systems with temporal non-stationarity, leveraging dual-timescale and cross-domain correlations. Specifically, due to the inherent spatial consistency, non-stationary channels on long-timescales are treated as stationary on short-timescales, decoupling complicated correlations into more tractable dual-timescale ones. To exploit such property, we frame the pilot symbols, capturing short-timescale correlations within frames by Doppler domain modeling and long-timescale correlations across frames by Markov/autoregressive processes. Based on this, we develop the tensor-structured signal model in the spatial-frequency-temporal domain, incorporating correlated angle-delay-Doppler domain channels and Vandermonde-structured factor matrices. Furthermore, we model cross-domain correlations within each frame, arising from clustered scatterer distributions, using tensor-structured upgradations of Markov processes and coupled Gaussian distributions. Following these probabilistic models, we formulate the TS-DCP as the variational free energy (VFE) minimization problem, designing trial belief structures through online approximation and the Bethe method. This yields the online TS-DCP algorithm derived from a dual-layer VFE optimization process, where both outer and inner layers leverage the multilinear structure of channels to reduce computational complexity significantly. Numerical simulations demonstrate the significant superiority of the proposed algorithm over benchmarks in terms of channel prediction performance.
