Redefining Wireless Communication for 6G: Signal Processing Meets Deep Learning
The year 2019 witnessed the rollout of 5G standard, which promises to offer significant data rate improvement over 4G. While 5G is still in its infancy, every there has been an increased shift in the research community for communication technologies beyond 5G. The recent emergence of machine learning (ML) approaches for enhancing wireless communications and empowering them with much-desired intelligence holds immense potential for redefining wireless communication for 6G. In this article, we present the challenges associated with traditional ML and signal processing approaches, and how combining them towards a model-driven approach can revolutionize the 6G physical layer. The goal of this article is to motivate hardware-efficient model-driven deep learning approaches to enable embedded edge learning capability for future communication networks.
