Abstract: Message faulting is expected to be a major challenge in 5G-Advanced and especially 6G, due to increased pathloss and phase noise at FR2 frequencies, and exponential crowding of networks. Legacy methods for forward-correction or automatic retransmissions are unsuitable to the fast-paced demands of next-generation users. Therefore, disclosed herein is an AI-based receiver that interprets a corrupted message to determine the most likely meaning or intent, and thereby provides one or more candidate corrected messages along with a likelihood that each of the candidate corrected messages is indeed correct. The AI model may also be provided with data on the context or current activity of the receiver, data on the waveform of each message element, and other data available to the receiver, so that the AI model can further refine the likelihood values. By recovering corrupted messages in the receiver, a costly retransmission may be avoided, saving time and resource usage.
