DESCRIPTION:Deep neural networks make it possible to learn key characterist
 ics of data without having to assume mathematically tractable models. This
  in turn results in an ability to compress data in a model-free way. One o
 f the promising areas for the application of deep learning to the physical
  layer of communication networks is compression. Hundred-fold compression 
 with a small loss of the CSI in massive MIMO systems has been shown to be 
 both feasible and necessary. However\, model-free and data driven compress
 ion comes with a downside: the encoding and decoding models need to be tra
 ined on a large set of CSI arrays indicative of a wide spectrum of propaga
 tion and environmental conditions. As a result\, in the early stages of th
 e deployment of deep CSI compression models\, it would be necessary to det
 ect if and when users’ channels have drifted significantly away from the
  distribution of the CSI data on which the deep compression model was trai
 ned. In this paper\, we present both 1) a technique for detecting harmful 
 channel drift and 2) a lightweight scheme for fine-tuning the deep compres
 sion models to adjust to such shifts. Using public-domain synthetic channe
 l data as well as 3GPP-compliant simulated data\, we demonstrate the pract
 icality of our proposed deep compression and detection framework. We close
  with recommendations for a viable implementation of the proposed drift de
 tection by the standards bodies.\n\nCo-sponsored by: New Jersey Coast Sect
