Extremely Large-scale Antenna Array (ELAA) is increasingly recognized as a promising solution for enhancing spectral efficiency and spatial resolution in the 6G mobile system. However, realizing these benefits necessitates the development of sophisticated interference management strategies, which typically rely on perfect Channel State Information at the Transmitter (CSIT) and involve computationally intensive operations. In real-world scenarios, perfect CSIT is typically infeasible due to inherent channel estimation errors and hardware impairments, which also lead to imperfect Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC). Additionally, the computational complexity associated with precoding schemes poses a formidable challenge. To address these issues, this study proposes a Deep Learning (DL)-assisted Rate-Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA) scheme for ELAA systems. The primary objective is to maximize the geometric mean of ergodic user-rates under imperfect CSIT and SIC, thereby optimizing both fairness and system throughput. Given the prohibitively high computational complexity of conventional optimization approaches to address this optimization problem, we introduce a DL model, named GruCN, to optimize precoder design. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed RSMA-enabled ELAA system achieves better performance in terms of fairness and robustness under imperfect CSIT. Moreover, the GruCN model exhibits remarkable efficiency and effectiveness in precoder optimization.
