Outline

This paper addresses the importance of accurately predicting key system parameters such as channel state information (CSI), user locations, and network traffic in complex and dynamic mobile communication networks. We note that existing deep learning (DL)-based methods struggle to generalize across diverse scenarios and tasks, and thus propose a unified base model for multi-task prediction in wireless networks supporting various prediction intervals. The proposed model enhances univariate decomposition to unify heterogeneous tasks, encodes granularity for interval awareness, and uses a causal Transformer backbone for accurate prediction. In addition, we introduce a patch masking strategy during training to support arbitrary input lengths. After being trained on a large dataset, the proposed base model demonstrates strong generalization to unseen scenarios and achieves better zero-shot performance on novel tasks than existing full-shot baselines.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We present a unified baseline model for various wireless network prediction tasks, demonstrating improved generalization performance and zero-shot learning performance.
Increased adaptability to different scenarios and prediction intervals by leveraging causal Transformer, univariate decomposition, and patch masking strategies.
Increase applicability in real-world environments through learning from large-scale datasets.
Limitations:
Lack of detailed description of the characteristics and scale of the dataset used to evaluate the performance of the proposed model.
Performance verification results in an actual commercial network environment are not presented.
Limitations of the task integration approach through univariate decomposition and lack of comparative analysis with other approaches.
