Energy Efficient Wireless Signal Detection: A Revisit through the Lens of Approximate Computing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the pursuit of energy efficiency in next-generation communication systems, approximate computing is emerging as a promising technique. In the proposed work, efforts are made to address the challenge of bridging the gap between the level of approximation and the Quality-of-Service (QoS) of the system. The application of approximate multiplication to wireless signal detection is explored systematically, illustrated by employing Truncated Multiplication (TM) on Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) detection. The irregularities induced by approximation in the multiplication operation employed in wireless signal detection are captured by the Approximate Multiplication Noise (AMN) model, which aids in the analysis of signal fidelity and resiliency of the system. The energy efficiency gains through approximation are highlighted in the approximation analysis. Signal fidelity analysis provides the capability to predict system output for varying levels of approximation, which aids in improving the stability of the system. The higher approximation levels are advantageous in low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) regimes, whereas lower approximation levels prove beneficial in high SNR regimes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
