Deep-Learning-Based Channel Estimation for Wireless Energy Transfer

Abstract

We propose a deep-learning-based channel estimation technique for wireless energy transfer. Specifically, we develop a channel learning scheme using the deep autoencoder, which learns the channel state information (CSI) at the energy transmitter based on the harvested energy feedback from the energy receiver, in the sense of minimizing the mean square error (mse) of the channel estimation. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme learns the CSI very well and significantly outperforms the conventional scheme in terms of the channel estimation mse as well as the harvested energy.
