Abstract 

Machine learning methods are poised to drastically improve the performance of many aspects of communication engineering, across all layers of the communication stack: from the physical layer to the application one.  In this competition, we focus on the problem of federated training of a deep CSI compressor for massive MIMO in 5G protocols and beyond.

Instructions: 

Objective:

A set of remote users observe a set of pilot signals as transmitted by a MIMO base station (BS) and are tasked with the distributed training of a compressor for the channel estimate. The training of this compressor occurs in a distributed manner, with the BS orchestrating the training and maintaining a centralized model. Training must occur within a set communication budget and model size.
