Machine learning (ML)-based dynamic demodulator selection

An apparatus for of wireless communication by a receiving device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured:
• to predict with an artificial neural network, at each data block of a set of data blocks, a least complex demodulator that will achieve a goal, based on features of a data block expected to be received at the receiving device;
• to dynamically select the least complex demodulator, from a set of demodulators with different levels of complexity, based on the features of the data block expected to be received;
• and
• to demodulate the data block with the selected demodulator for the data block.

An apparatus for of wireless communication by a receiving device, comprising:
