Dataset and Prototyping for Intelligent CKM | CKM Datasets, Prototypes, Emerging Topics

Fundamentals of Channel Knowledge Map: From Classic to AI-based Methods Lecture 4.1 Dataset and Prototyping for Intelligent CKM | CKM Datasets, Prototypes, Emerging Topics (Professor Yong Zeng) Channel Knowledge Map (CKM) represents a pivotal technology driving the paradigm shift from conventional environment-unaware wireless networks to future environment-aware systems. Accurate and efficient CKM construction relies on high-quality, physically consistent wireless channel knowledge datasets. In this talk, we will first review existing wireless datasets and then introduce CKMImageNet. Motivated by the seminal ImageNet dataset in the computer vision community, CKMImageNet is specifically designed to support intelligent CKM construction and utilization. Furthermore, we will present preliminary developments regarding CKM prototyping systems.
