6G-SMART Timeline

IEEE WCNC 2025

Recently, Celfinet a Cyient Company had the opportunity to present a research article at the IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC 2025), an excellent event where researchers and industry professionals discuss and explore advancements in wireless communication technologies.

The paper "Telco-DPR: A Hybrid Dataset for Evaluating Retrieval Models of 3GPP Technical Specifications," introduces Telco-DPR, an open-access dataset combining text and table formats from curated 3GPP documents. The dataset includes synthetic question-passage pairs designed to evaluate retrieval performance in telecom-focused question-answering systems. Our research showed significant improvements over traditional Retriever-Augmented Generation (RAG) methods. Specifically, our proposed system, integrating Dense Hierarchical Retrieval (DHR) with GPT-4, achieved a 14% improvement in answer accuracy compared to existing benchmarks.

Special thanks to the co-authors Pedro Vieira and António Rodrigues, and especially Thaína Saraiva as the first author, to the 6G-SMART project partners, Instituto de Telecomunicações, and ISEL - Instituto Superior De Engenharia De Lisboa for their valuable support.

📆 Stay tuned for updates as we keep looking forward to future collaborations and continued innovation in wireless communications!
