Title: The Deep Learning in Physical Layer Communications

Abstract:
It has been demonstrated recently that deep learning (DL) has great potentials to break the bottleneck of communication systems. In this talk, we introduce our recent work in DL in physical layer communications. DL can improve the performance of each individual (traditional) block in communication systems or jointly optimize the whole transmitter or receiver. Therefore, we can categorize the applications of DL in physical layer communications into with and without block processing structures.

For DL based communication systems with block structures, we present joint channel estimation and signal detection based on a fully connected deep neural network, model-drive DL for signal detection, and some experimental results. For those without block structures, we provide our recent endeavors in developing end-to-end learning communication systems. At the end of the talk, we provide some potential research topics in the area.
