Millimeter wave (mmWave) communication technique has been developed rapidly because of many advantages of high speed, large bandwidth, and ultra-low delay. However, mmWave communications systems suffer from fast fading and frequent blocking. Hence, the ideal communication environment for mmWave is line of sight (LOS) channel. To improve the efficiency and capacity of mmWave system, and to better build the Internet of Everything (IoE) service network, this paper focuses on the channel identification technique in line-of- sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) environments. Considering the limited computing ability of user equipments (UEs), this paper proposes a novel channel identification architecture based on eigen features, i.e. eigenmatrix and eigenvector (EMEV) of channel state information (CSI). Furthermore, this paper explores clustered delay line (CDL) channel identification with mmWave, which is defined by the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP). Ther experimental results show that the EMEV based scheme can achieve identification accuracy of 99.88% assuming perfect CSI. In the robustness test, the maximum noise can be tolerated is SNR= 16 dB, with the threshold acc \geq 95%. What is more, the novel architecture based on EMEV feature will reduce the comprehensive overhead by about 90%.

Graph representation learning is a powerful method to extract features from graph-structured data, such as analog/mixed-signal (AMS) circuits. However, training deep learning models for AMS designs is severely limited by the scarcity of integrated circuit design data. In this work, we present CircuitGPS, a few-shot learning method for parasitic effect prediction in AMS circuits. The circuit netlist is represented as a heterogeneous graph, with the coupling capacitance modeled as a link. CircuitGPS is pre-trained on link prediction and fine-tuned on edge regression. The proposed method starts with a small-hop sampling technique that converts a link or a node into a subgraph. Then, the subgraph embeddings are learned with a hybrid graph Transformer. Additionally, CircuitGPS integrates a low-cost positional encoding that summarizes the positional and structural information of the sampled subgraph. CircuitGPS improves the accuracy of coupling existence by at least 20\% and reduces the MAE of capacitance estimation by at least 0.067 compared to existing methods. Our method demonstrates strong inherent scalability, enabling direct application to diverse AMS circuit designs through zero-shot learning. Furthermore, the ablation studies provide valuable insights into graph models for representation learning.
