A Unified Adaptive Feature Composition Framework for Multi-Task Generalization in Wireless Foundation Models

arXiv:2606.10277v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Though wireless foundation models (WFMs) have shown strong potential in learning universal channel representations, their adaptation to various downstream tasks remains constrained by existing paradigms. Fine-tuning strategies introduces substantial computational and storage overhead, while frozen feature extraction leads to sub-optimal performance across diverse downstream tasks. To address this issue, we propose a unified adaptive feature composition framework for multitask generalization in WFMs, where the key component is the Routing Adapter

Why this matters
Why now
