Code and stored results for the manuscript "AI-Native Multi-User Semantic Communications via Meta-Learned Attention for 6G AI-RAN" (submitted to IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, Special Issue on Towards Open and Intelligent 6G RAN).

This repository contains exactly the code needed to reproduce the experiments reported in the paper, together with the stored CSV results from which every figure is regenerated. All experiments use fixed random seeds.

What each script does

Script	Role in the paper
`c11_doppler_csi.py`	Shared library. Implements the time-varying tapped-delay-line channel by sample-level time-domain convolution, so intra-symbol Doppler produces genuine inter-carrier interference, plus the pilot-aging frame structure and the aging-aware LMMSE front end of Section IV-A.
`c13_mnist.py`	MNIST study of Sections V-A and V-B. Defines the signed user-wise attention receiver, the Transformer shared-embedding separator, and the per-user autoencoder, with joint training, warm-started first-order MAML meta-training, and the SNR-sweep evaluation behind Fig. 6.
`c18_mnist_doppler.py`	Doppler sweep behind Fig. 7, with task-conditional decoder-side adaptation at every operating point.
`c19_mnist_epoch.py`	Convergence study behind Fig. 5, recording the task-adapted SER at every training checkpoint.
`c22_maml_epoch.py`	Budget-matched meta-training trajectory that forms the right-hand segment of Fig. 5.
`c21_mnist_flat.py`	Flat Rayleigh study behind Table III, including the decoder-side first-order MAML variant.
`c20_bert.py`	Concluding BERT/AG News text study behind Fig. 8, from feature caching to training and evaluation.

Reproducing the figures

Each figure regenerates from the stored CSV results without retraining.

python3 c19_mnist_epoch.py --mode fig      # Fig. 5
python3 c13_mnist.py --mode fig            # Fig. 6
python3 c18_mnist_doppler.py --mode fig    # Fig. 7
python3 c20_bert.py --mode fig             # Fig. 8

Table III values are stored in results_mnist/mnist_flat.csv, and Table IV values come from results_mnist/mnist_results.csv and results_mnist/mnist_doppler.csv.

Rerunning the experiments

Full reruns retrain from scratch on the same fixed seeds.

Environment

WSL2 Ubuntu with Python 3 and CUDA-enabled PyTorch. The BERT study additionally needs transformers and datasets. MNIST downloads automatically through torchvision, and AG News through datasets (fancyzhx/ag_news).
