Python with MATLAB for Wireless
R2026bCollaborate with colleagues who work in other deep learning frameworks to train and test PyTorch®, TensorFlow™, or ONNX™ models. You can also import and export functions.
You can run simulations by calling Python from MATLAB or by calling MATLAB from Python.
Workflow steps include data generation, data preparation, deep neural model training, model compression, model testing, and model deployment.
These examples focus on the training, testing, and deployment workflow steps to demonstrate running PyTorch models for channel state information (CSI) feedback compression and CSI prediction techniques using artificial intelligence (AI) in 5G wireless communication systems.
