To tackle a Doppler sensitivity problem of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) has been investigated, where information is carried over delay-Doppler domain. In this paper, to improve communication reliability in doubly dispersive channel, an auto-encoder (AE)-based OTFS modulation and detection scheme is developed, where the transmit OTFS waveform and its associated detection scheme at the receiver are jointly optimized in a deep learning framework. However, the conventional AE architecture which takes one-hot encoded input vector is hard to be reused in OTFS due to its enormous input dimensionality that increases exponentially on the number of grid points in delay-Doppler domain. To overcome it, we divide the delay-Doppler grid into multiple subblocks and associate the one-hot encoded vector with each subblock. Then, by concatenating them, one multi-hot vector is formed and exploited as the input vector for the proposed AE-based OTFS modulation and detection. We also develop a meta-learning scheme to effectively train the AE-based OTFS transceiver for newly updated channel profile.INDEX TERMS Hierarchical auto-encoder, meta-learning strategy, OTFS waveform.

When micro‐Doppler (MD) radars are distributed, a federated learning strategy over wireless backhaul links is developed for motion classification. Specifically to identify the human motion, a common convolutional neural network (CNN) model is shared for all the distributed radars (i.e. clients) and it is trained through the federated learning strategy over wireless backhaul connected to the main server. In the proposed system, a main bottleneck is the estimation of local gradients for CNN training at the server, which are transferred from distributed radars over the wireless backhaul link. To overcome it, a deep learning (DL) aided gradient estimation algorithm is proposed, in which the deep neural networks (DNNs) for encoding local gradient vectors at the distributed radars and the DNN for decoding (i.e. estimating) them at the server are jointly trained in an end‐to‐end autoencoder‐based learning strategy. To avoid the inter‐client interference over the wireless backhaul link, the DNN structure for the gradient estimation algorithm with the orthogonal multiple access is proposed, in which the proposed DNN effectively learns the encoding/decoding at the transceiver over wireless backhaul. By exploiting the experimental data measured through the USRP‐based MD radars, the authors validate the motion classification performance of the proposed federated learning strategy and DL aided gradient estimation over the wireless backhaul link.
