Artificial intelligence-aided channel estimation

A first electronic device located in a first site, the first electronic device comprising:

• memory;
• and
• a processor operably coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
• receive a signal from a second electronic device over a channel;
• obtain a noisy channel estimate based on the received signal using a linear estimator;
• preprocess the noisy channel estimate to remove at least one of an anomaly, a multiuser interference (MUI), or a timing offset (TO);
• and
• estimate the channel using an artificial intelligence channel estimation (AI CE) model.

A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a computer program, the computer program comprising program code that, when executed by a processor of a first electronic device, causes the first electronic device to:

• receive a signal from a second electronic device over a channel;
• obtain a noisy channel estimate based on the received signal using a linear estimator;
• preprocess the noisy channel estimate to remove at least one of an anomaly, a multiuser interference (MUI), or a timing offset (TO);
• and
• estimate the channel using an artificial intelligence channel estimation (AI CE) model.
