Samsung R&D Institute India-Bangalore (SRI-B) is proud to announce that its Network R&D team has received the Best Research Paper Award at the esteemed IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC) 2024 workshop (BlockSecSDN 2024), held on June 13th, 2024 in Denver, Colorado, USA. This recognition marks a significant milestone as it is the first time the Network R&D team has been honoured at a prestigious conference of IEEE.

The award-winning paper, titled "CSI Feedback Prediction using UE Aware Sparse Neural Network Framework," was authored by an outstanding team of researchers: Dr. Sukhdeep Singh, Swaraj Kumar, Rahul Kumar Saha, Shreyanshu Agarwal, and Ashmeet Kaur. Their innovative research addresses critical challenges in network communications, presenting a novel approach to Channel State Information (CSI) feedback prediction using a User Equipment (UE) aware sparse neural network framework.

“We are incredibly proud of our team for achieving this significant accolade,” said Amit Mannan, VP of Network R&D Team for Samsung R&D Institute India-Bangalore. “This award highlights our commitment to advancing cutting-edge research and innovation in the field of ultra-modern next generation networks and communications. The recognition at IEEE ICC 2024 WS is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our researchers.”

The research presented in the paper proposes a transformative method for improving the accuracy and efficiency of CSI feedback prediction, which is crucial for enhancing the performance of wireless communication systems. The novel framework leverages sparse neural networks to adapt to user equipment conditions, thereby optimizing network resource utilization and improving overall connectivity.

Dr. Sukhdeep Singh, the lead author, expressed his gratitude for the recognition, stating, “Winning the Best Research Paper Award at a Tier 1 IEEE conference WS is a tremendous honor. This achievement reflects the hard work and collaborative spirit of our team. We are excited about the potential impact of our research on the future of network communications.”
