LLM4CP: Adapting Large Language Models for Channel Prediction

20 Jun 2024 | Boxun Liu, Xuanyu Liu, Shijian Gao, Xiang Cheng, Liuqing Yang
The paper "LLM4CP: Adapting Large Language Models for Channel Prediction" by Boxun Liu, Xuanyu Liu, Shijian Gao, Xiang Cheng, and Liuqing Yang proposes a novel method to enhance channel prediction in massive multi-input multi-output (m-MIMO) systems using large language models (LLMs). The method, named LLM4CP, leverages the expressive power of pre-trained LLMs to predict future downlink channel state information (CSI) based on historical uplink CSI. The authors address the limitations of existing channel prediction methods, such as model mismatch errors and generalization issues, by fine-tuning a pre-trained LLM while freezing most of its parameters. They design specific modules, including a preprocessor, embedding, and output module, to bridge the gap between CSI data and the LLM's feature space, considering unique channel characteristics. Simulations demonstrate that LLM4CP achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in full-sample, few-shot, and generalization tests, with low training and inference costs. The method is applicable to both time-division duplex (TDD) and frequency-division duplex (FDD) systems, showing superior performance in high-velocity scenarios and FDD systems. The paper also includes ablation studies and comparisons with various baselines to validate the effectiveness of the proposed modules and the overall performance of LLM4CP.The paper "LLM4CP: Adapting Large Language Models for Channel Prediction" by Boxun Liu, Xuanyu Liu, Shijian Gao, Xiang Cheng, and Liuqing Yang proposes a novel method to enhance channel prediction in massive multi-input multi-output (m-MIMO) systems using large language models (LLMs).
