Beamforming in Wireless Networks Via Split Computing

A wireless communications network transmits beamformed signals via compressed beamforming feedback. A transmitter generates beamformed signals and omnidirectional signals. A receiver, communicatively coupled to the transmitter via a wireless channel, generates channel state information (CSI) based on a received signal from the transmitter; generates, via a first neural network (NN), a compressed representation of beamforming feedback as a function of the CSI; and transmits the compressed representation to the transmitter via the wireless channel. The transmitter then determines, via a second NN, the beamforming matrix as a function of the compressed representation; and generates a subsequent beamformed signal toward the receiver as a function of the beamforming matrix.
