Sensing-Assisted Channel Prediction in Complex Wireless Environments: An LLM-Based Approach

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This letter studies the sensing-assisted channel prediction for a multi-antenna orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system operating in realistic and complex wireless environments. In this system, an integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) transmitter leverages the mono-static sensing capability to facilitate the prediction of its bi-static communication channel, by exploiting the fact that the sensing and communication channels share the same physical environment involving shared scatterers. Specifically, we propose a novel large language model (LLM)-based channel prediction approach, which adapts pre-trained text-based LLM to handle the complex-matrix-form channel state information (CSI) data. This approach utilizes the LLM’s strong ability to capture the intricate spatiotemporal relationships between the multi-path sensing and communication channels, and thus efficiently predicts upcoming communication CSI based on historical communication and sensing CSI data. Experimental results show that the proposed LLM-based approach significantly outperforms conventional deep learning-based methods and the benchmark scheme without sensing assistance.
