The field of wireless networks and channel estimation is witnessing significant advancements, driven by the need for efficient and accurate methods to characterize and estimate channel properties. Recent developments have focused on addressing the challenges posed by non-stationary channels, impulsive interference, and the need for scalable and robust computation methods. Notably, researchers are exploring the use of stochastic geometry, transformer-based architectures, and Bayesian techniques to improve channel estimation and characterization. These innovative approaches have shown promising results, including improved accuracy, reduced overhead, and enhanced spectral efficiency.
