Greedy and Transformer-Based Multi-Port Selection for Slow Fluid Antenna Multiple Access

arXiv:2604.04589v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We address the port-selection problem in fluid antenna multiple access (FAMA) systems with multi-port fluid antenna (FA) receivers. Existing methods either achieve near-optimal spectral efficiency (SE) at prohibitive computational cost or sacrifice significant performance for lower complexity. We propose two complementary strategies: (i) GFwd+S, a greedy forward-selection method with swap refinement that consistently outperforms state-of-the-art re
