The following versions have been tested: Python 3.6 + Pytorch 1.9.0. But newer versions should also be fine.

Firstly, run "Train_singletime.py" and save the well-trained model and analog beamformers (set the path at "torch.save(state, path)", "torch.save(FRF_container, 'path')", "torch.save(WRF_container, 'path')");

Then, run "Train_twotime.py" and load the well-trained model and analog beamforming (set the path at "FRF = torch.load('path')", "WRF = torch.load('path')","load_data1 = torch.load(path)", "load_data2 = torch.load(path)").

complex_matrix.py: Some complex matrix operations;

Channel_gen.py: The function of generating channel samples;

Model_singletime.py: The model of long-term DNN;

Model_twotime.py: The model of short-term DNN;

Train_singletime.py: Train long-term DNN;

Train_twotime.py: Train short-term DNN.
