September 2025 • Mohammad Hossein Karimi, Yuanzhe Gong, Tho Le‐Ngoc
This paper proposes a deep neural network (DNN) codebook approach for multi-user interference (MUI) mitigation in extremely large multiple-input multiple-output (XL-MIMO) systems operating in the near-field region. Unlike existing DNN-based nulling control beamforming (NCBF) methods that face scalability and complexity challenges, the proposed framework partitions the Fresnel region using correlation-based sampling and assigns a lightweight fully connected DNN model to each subsection. Each model is trained on bea…
