Key Takeaways
How It Works
The proposed WPNN architecture consists of multiple MIMO relays that process signals in a cascade. Each relay applies a complex linear transformation, followed by the inherent nonlinearity of power amplifiers, which serve as activation functions.
This setup allows for end-to-end training of the network parameters, enabling efficient over-the-air inference.
