Deep Learning for Joint Narrowband Interference Cancellation and Soft Demodulation in OFDM Systems

arXiv:2607.08717v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Narrowband interference (NBI) severely degrades orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems by corrupting subcarriers and rendering classical soft demodulation ineffective. Conventional compressed-sensing (CS) mitigation exhibits high sequential latency and leaves structured, non-Gaussian residuals that cause log-likelihood ratio (LLR) unreliability, decoder saturation, and severe error floors when employing classical Gaussian demappers. We resolve this pipeline mismatch using a unified deep learning framework for joint NBI cancella
The increasing complexity and demands on wireless communication systems, coupled with advances in deep learning, are driving the need for more robust interference mitigation techniques.
This research addresses fundamental limitations in wireless communication reliability, which is critical for future high-bandwidth, low-latency applications across various sectors.
A unified deep learning framework promises to significantly improve the performance and efficiency of OFDM systems by jointly handling interference cancellation and soft demodulation, which were previously separate, inefficient processes.
