The AECM Algorithm for Deterministic Maximum Likelihood Direction Finding in the Presence of Gaussian Mixture Noise

Gaussian mixture noise can model non-Gaussian noise and also be used when outliers are present. For deterministic maximum likelihood direction finding in Gaussian mixture noise, the Space-Alternating Generalized Expectation-maximization (SAGE) algorithm, an extension of the expectation-maximization algorithm, was applied and designed by Kozick and Sadler twenty odd years ago, which simultaneously updates direction of arrival (DOA) estimates at each iteration and cannot properly converge under unequal signal powers. In this article, the Alternating Expectation-Conditional Maximization (AECM) algorithm, an extension of the SAGE algorithm, is applied and designed, which utilizes multiple less informative versions of the complete data and the golden section search method to update DOA estimates at each iteration sequentially (one by one). Theoretical analysis shows that the AECM algorithm has almost the same computational complexity of each iteration as the SAGE algorithm. However, numerical results show that the AECM algorithm yields faster stable convergence and is computationally more efficient.

Selfish Cooperation Towards Low-Altitude Economy: Integrated Multi-Service Deployment with Resilient Federated Reinforcement Learning

The low-altitude economy (LAE) is a rapidly emerging paradigm that builds a service-centric economic ecosystem through large-scale and sustainable uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled service provisioning, reflecting the transition of the 6G era from technological advancement toward commercial deployment. The significant market potential of LAE attracts an increasing number of service providers (SPs), resulting in intensified competition in service deployment. In this paper, we study a realistic LAE scenario in which multiple SPs dynamically deploy UAVs to deliver multiple services to user hotspots, aiming to jointly optimize communication and computation resource allocation. To resolve deployment competition among SPs, an authenticity-guaranteed auction mechanism is designed, and game-theoretic analysis is conducted to establish the solvability of the proposed resource allocation problem. Furthermore, a resilient federated reinforcement learning (FRL)-based solution is developed with strong fault tolerance, effectively countering transmission errors and malicious competition while facilitating potential cooperation among self-interested SPs. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly improves service performance and robustness compared with baseline methods, providing a practical and scalable solution for competitive LAE service deployment.

Adaptive Personalized Federated Reinforcement Learning for RIS-Assisted Aerial Relays in SAGINs with Fluid Antennas

Space-air-ground integrated networks (SAGINs) interconnect satellites, uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), and ground devices to enable flexible and ubiquitous wireless services. The integration of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) and fluid antenna systems (FASs) further enhances radio environment controllability. However, the tight integration of cross-layer facilities and radio enhancement technologies leads to pronounced environmental dynamics and heterogeneity, posing fundamental challenges for system modeling and optimization in large-scale SAGINs. This paper investigates a SAGIN in which low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations communicate with multiple ground hotspots via RIS-assisted UAV relays, serving both FAS-equipped and conventional users. A system model is developed that explicitly captures satellite mobility, UAV trajectories, RIS phase control, and heterogeneous user reception capabilities. Accordingly, a multi-hotspot downlink rate maximization problem is studied, whose solvability is analyzed through a hierarchical Stackelberg game. To address heterogeneous and time-varying multi-hotspot environments, an adaptive personalized federated reinforcement learning (FRL) algorithm is proposed for adaptive optimization of UAV trajectories and RIS phase controls. Simulation results demonstrate superior performance and validate the effectiveness of personalization in dynamic heterogeneous SAGIN scenarios.

Joint Optimization of Model Partitioning and Resource Allocation for Anti-Jamming Collaborative Inference Systems

With the increasing computational demands of deep neural network (DNN) inference on resource-constrained devices, DNN partitioning-based device-edge collaborative inference has emerged as a promising paradigm. However, the transmission of intermediate feature data is vulnerable to malicious jamming, which significantly degrades the overall inference performance. To counter this threat, this letter focuses on an anti-jamming collaborative inference system in the presence of a malicious jammer. In this system, a DNN model is partitioned into two distinct segments, which are executed by wireless devices and edge servers, respectively. We first analyze the effects of jamming and DNN partitioning on inference accuracy via data regression. Based on this, our objective is to maximize the system's revenue of delay and accuracy (RDA) under inference accuracy and computing resource constraints by jointly optimizing computation resource allocation, devices' transmit power, and DNN partitioning. To address the mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem, we propose an efficient alternating optimization-based algorithm, which decomposes the problem into three subproblems that are solved via Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions, convex optimization methods, and a quantum genetic algorithm, respectively. Extensive simulations demonstrate that our proposed scheme outperforms baselines in terms of RDA.

Secure Transmission for Cell-Free Symbiotic Radio Communications with Movable Antenna: Continuous and Discrete Positioning Designs

In this paper, we study a movable antenna (MA) empowered secure transmission scheme for reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) aided cell-free symbiotic radio (SR) system. Specifically, the MAs deployed at distributed access points (APs) work collaboratively with the RIS to establish high-quality propagation links for both primary and secondary transmissions, as well as suppressing the risk of eavesdropping on confidential primary information. We consider both continuous and discrete MA position cases and maximize the secrecy rate of primary transmission under the secondary transmission constraints, respectively. For the continuous position case, we propose a two-layer iterative optimization method based on differential evolution with one-in-one representation (DEO), to find a high-quality solution with relatively moderate computational complexity. For the discrete position case, we first extend the DEO based iterative framework by introducing the mapping and determination operations to handle the characteristic of discrete MA positions. To further reduce the computational complexity, we then design an alternating optimization (AO) iterative framework to solve all variables within a single layer. In particular, we develop an efficient strategy to derive the sub-optimal solution for the discrete MA positions, superseding the DEO-based method. Numerical results validate the effectiveness of the proposed MA empowered secure transmission scheme along with its optimization algorithms.

Active RIS Enabled NLoS LEO Satellite Communications: A Three-timescale Optimization Framework

In this letter, we study an active reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) assisted Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications under non-line-of-sight (NLoS) scenarios, where the active RIS is deployed to create visual line-of-sight links for reliable communication. To address the challenges of high energy consumption caused by frequent beamforming updates in active RIS, we propose a three-timescale optimization framework that jointly designs the transmit beamforming, RIS beamforming, and RIS direction vectors based on their characteristics. The goal is to maximize the system achievable rate while reducing energy consumption by controlling the RIS beamforming switching frequency. Then, a two-layer solution framework is developed, incorporating fractional programming (FP), alternating optimization (AO), successive approximation (SCA), and penalty-based methods, to obtain the optimized solution. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can effectively improve system performance and reduce the energy consumption of the active RIS.

TelePlanNet: An AI-Driven Framework for Efficient Telecom Network Planning

The selection of base station sites is a critical challenge in 5G network planning, which requires efficient optimization of coverage, cost, user satisfaction, and practical constraints. Traditional manual methods, reliant on human expertise, suffer from inefficiencies and are limited to an unsatisfied planning-construction consistency. Existing AI tools, despite improving efficiency in certain aspects, still struggle to meet the dynamic network conditions and multi-objective needs of telecom operators' networks. To address these challenges, we propose TelePlanNet, an AI-driven framework tailored for the selection of base station sites, integrating a three-layer architecture for efficient planning and large-scale automation. By leveraging large language models (LLMs) for real-time user input processing and intent alignment with base station planning, combined with training the planning model using the improved group relative policy optimization (GRPO) reinforcement learning, the proposed TelePlanNet can effectively address multi-objective optimization, evaluates candidate sites, and delivers practical solutions. Experiments results show that the proposed TelePlanNet can improve the consistency to 78%, which is superior to the manual methods, providing telecom operators with an efficient and scalable tool that significantly advances cellular network planning.

Deployment Optimization for XL-IRS Assisted Multi-User Communications

In this paper, we study the deployment optimization for an extremely large-scale intelligent reflecting surface (XL-IRS) assisted multi-user communication system, within which the channels between the XL-IRS and the BS (or user) are modeled by the near-field spherical wavefronts. To draw some valuable insights, we first consider the single-user case, where an alternating optimization (AO) based algorithm is devised to maximize the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the user. To address the high computational complexity issue incurred by the AO based algorithm, three approximate received SNR expressions are obtained to yield useful insights, corresponding to the upper bound, approximate expression, and closed-form. It is demonstrated that the XL-IRS ought to be positioned near the user (rather than the BS) to obtain a higher beamforming gain. Then, for the multi-user scenario, an efficient algorithm is proposed to obtain a high-quality XL-IRS placement solution by using the AO and successive convex approximation (SCA) techniques. Furthermore, the effective degree of freedom (DoF) of the BS-IRS channel is provided, which indicates that the additional effective DoF can be leveraged to improve multi-user spatial multiplexing. Last, numerical results confirm the existence of a trade-off between near-field beam-focusing gain and multiplexing gain.

Robust Transmission Design for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface and Movable Antenna Enabled Symbiotic Radio Communications

This paper explores the application of movable antenna (MA), a cutting-edge technology with the capability of altering antenna positions, in a symbiotic radio (SR) system enabled by reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). The goal is to fully exploit the capabilities of both MA and RIS, constructing a better transmission environment for the co-existing primary and secondary transmission systems. For both parasitic SR (PSR) and commensal SR (CSR) scenarios with the channel uncertainties experienced by all transmission links, we design a robust transmission scheme with the goal of maximizing the primary rate while ensuring the secondary transmission quality. To address the maximization problem with thorny non-convex characteristics, we propose an alternating optimization framework that utilizes the General S-Procedure, General Sign-Definiteness Principle, successive convex approximation (SCA), and simulated annealing (SA) improved particle swarm optimization (SA-PSO) algorithms. Numerical results validate that the CSR scenario significantly outperforms the PSR scenario in terms of primary rate, and also show that compared to the fixed-position antenna scheme, the proposed MA scheme can increase the primary rate by 1.62 bps/Hz and 2.37 bps/Hz for the PSR and CSR scenarios, respectively.

Exploiting NOMA Transmissions in Multi-UAV-assisted Wireless Networks: From Aerial-RIS to Mode-switching UAVs

In this paper, we consider an aerial reconfigurable intelligent surface (ARIS)-assisted wireless network, where multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) collect data from ground users (GUs) by using the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) method. The ARIS provides enhanced channel controllability to improve the NOMA transmissions and reduce the co-channel interference among UAVs. We also propose a novel dual-mode switching scheme, where each UAV equipped with both an ARIS and a radio frequency (RF) transceiver can adaptively perform passive reflection or active transmission. We aim to maximize the overall network throughput by jointly optimizing the UAVs' trajectory planning and operating modes, the ARIS's passive beamforming, and the GUs' transmission control strategies. We propose an optimization-driven hierarchical deep reinforcement learning (O-HDRL) method to decompose it into a series of subproblems. Specifically, the multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient (MADDPG) adjusts the UAVs' trajectory planning and mode switching strategies, while the passive beamforming and transmission control strategies are tackled by the optimization methods. Numerical results reveal that the O-HDRL efficiently improves the learning stability and reward performance compared to the benchmark methods. Meanwhile, the dual-mode switching scheme is verified to achieve a higher throughput performance compared to the fixed ARIS scheme.

With the continuous advancement of industrial automation, product quality inspection has become increasingly important in the manufacturing process. Traditional inspection methods, which often rely on manual checks or simple machine vision techniques, suffer from low efficiency and insufficient accuracy. In recent years, deep learning technology, especially the YOLO (You Only Look Once) algorithm, has emerged as a prominent solution in the field of product defect detection due to its efficient real-time detection capabilities and excellent classification performance. This study aims to use the YOLO algorithm to detect and classify defects in product images. By constructing and training a YOLO model, we conducted experiments on multiple industrial product datasets. The results demonstrate that this method can achieve real-time detection while maintaining high detection accuracy, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of product quality inspection.

Secure Transmission for Movable Antennas Empowered Cell-Free Symbiotic Radio Communications

In this paper, a novel movable antenna (MA) empowered secure transmission scheme is designed for cell-free symbiotic radio (SR) systems in the presence of an eavesdropper (Eve). Specifically, multiple distributed access points (APs) equipped with MAs collaboratively transmit confidential information to the primary user (PU), in the meanwhile the backscatter device (BD) transmits its own information to the secondary user (SU) by reflecting incident signals from the APs. The MAs deployed at the APs can adjust their positions flexibly to improve channel conditions between the APs and the PU/SU/BD and suppress the eavesdropping from the Eve on confidential information at the PU. Under this setup, we maximize the secrecy rate of primary transmission through jointly optimizing the APs' transmission beamforming vectors and the positions of the MAs, while adhering to the quality of service constraints at the SU. To address the challenges caused by the non-convexity and find a near-optimal solution, an alternating optimization (AO) framework is proposed, utilizing the successive convex approximation method, the semi-definite relaxation technology and a genetic algorithm modified particle swarm optimization (GA-PSO) algorithm. Numerical results demonstrate the secrecy rate enhancement provided by utilizing the MAs and show the impact of the GA-PSO algorithm for improving the solving accuracy.

Channel Estimation for XL-IRS Assisted Wireless Systems with Double-sided Visibility Regions

In this paper, we study efficient channel estimation design for an extremely large-scale intelligent reflecting surface (XL-IRS) assisted multi-user communication systems, where both the base station (BS) and users are located in the near-field region of the XL-IRS. Two unique channel characteristics of XL-IRS are considered, namely, the near-field spherical wavefronts and double-sided visibility regions (VRs) at the BS and users, which render the channel estimation for XL-IRS highly challenging. To address this issue, we propose in this paper an efficient three-step XL-IRS channel estimation method. Specifically, in the first step, an anchor node is delicately deployed near the XL-IRS to estimate the cascaded BS-IRS-anchor channel. Then, an efficient VR detection method is devised to estimate the VR information between the BS and XL-IRS. In this way, only the channels from the visible XL-IRS elements to the BS are estimated, thereby reducing the dimension of the cascaded BS-IRS-users channels to be estimated. Third, by leveraging the common BS-IRS channel, the cascaded channels for all users are consecutively estimated accounting for the VRs of the IRS-user channels. Finally, numerical results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed channel estimation scheme as compared to various benchmark schemes.

Movable Antenna Enabled Symbiotic Radio Systems: An Opportunity for Mutualism

In this letter, we propose a new movable antenna (MA) enabled symbiotic radio (SR) system that leverages the movement of MAs to maximize both the primary and secondary rates, thereby promoting their mutualism. Specifically, the primary transmitter (PT) equipped with MAs utilizes a maximum ratio transmission (MRT) beamforming scheme to ensure the highest primary rate at the primary user (PU). Concurrently, the backscatter device (BD) establishes the secondary transmission by overlaying onto the primary signal. The utilization of MAs aims to enhance the secondary rate by optimizing the positions of MAs to improve the beam gain at the BD. Accordingly, the beam gains for both MA and fixed-position antenna (FPA) scenarios are analyzed, confirming the effectiveness of the MA scheme in achieving the highest primary and secondary rates. Numerical results verity the superiority of our proposed MA enabled scheme.

Movable Antenna-Enhanced Wireless Powered Mobile Edge Computing Systems

In this paper, we propose a movable antenna (MA) enhanced scheme for wireless powered mobile edge computing (WP-MEC) system, where the hybrid access point (HAP) equipped with multiple MAs first emits wireless energy to charge wireless devices (WDs), and then receives the offloaded tasks from the WDs for edge computing. The MAs deployed at the HAP enhance the spatial degrees of freedom (DoFs) by flexibly adjusting the positions of MAs within an available region, thereby improving the efficiency of both downlink wireless energy transfer (WPT) and uplink task offloading. To balance the performance enhancement against the implementation intricacy, we further propose three types of MA positioning configurations, i.e., dynamic MA positioning, semi-dynamic MA positioning, and static MA positioning. In addition, the non-linear power conversion of energy harvesting (EH) circuits at the WDs and the finite computing capability at the edge server are taken into account. Our objective is to maximize the sum computational rate (SCR) by jointly optimizing the time allocation, positions of MAs, energy beamforming matrix, receive combing vectors, and offloading strategies of WDs. To solve the non-convex problems, efficient alternating optimization (AO) frameworks are proposed. Moreover, we propose a hybrid algorithm of particle swarm optimization with variable local search (PSO-VLS) to solve the sub-problem of MA positioning. Numerical results validate the superiority of exploiting MAs over the fixed-position antennas (FPAs) for enhancing the SCR performance of WP-MEC systems.

Primary Rate Maximization in Movable Antennas Empowered Symbiotic Radio Communications

In this paper, we propose a movable antenna (MA) empowered scheme for symbiotic radio (SR) communication systems. Specifically, multiple antennas at the primary transmitter (PT) can be flexibly moved to favorable locations to boost the channel conditions of the primary and secondary transmissions. The primary transmission is achieved by the active transmission from the PT to the primary user (PU), while the backscatter device (BD) takes a ride over the incident signal from the PT to passively send the secondary signal to the PU. Under this setup, we consider a primary rate maximization problem by jointly optimizing the transmit beamforming and the positions of MAs at the PT under a practical bit error rate constraint on the secondary transmission. Then, an alternating optimization framework with the utilization of the successive convex approximation, semi-definite processing and simulated annealing (SA) modified particle swarm optimization (SA-PSO) methods is proposed to find the solution of the transmit beamforming and MAs' positions. Finally, numerical results are provided to demonstrate the performance improvement provided by the proposed MA empowered scheme and the proposed algorithm.

STAR-RIS Assisted Wireless-Powered and Backscattering Mobile Edge Computing Networks

Wireless powered and backscattering mobile edge computing (WPB-MEC) network is a novel network paradigm to supply energy supplies and computing resource to wireless sensors (WSs). However, its performance is seriously affected by severe attenuations and inappropriate assumptions of infinite computing capability at the hybrid access point (HAP). To address the above issues, in this paper, we propose a simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) aided scheme for boosting the performance of WPB-MEC network under the constraint of finite computing capability. Specifically, energy-constrained WSs are able to offload tasks actively or passively from them to the HAP. In this process, the STAR-RIS is utilized to improve the quantity of harvested energy and strengthen the offloading efficiency by adapting its operating protocols. We then maximize the sum computational bits (SCBs) under the finite computing capability constraint. To handle the solving challenges, we first present interesting results in closed-form and then design a block coordinate descent (BCD) based algorithm, ensuring a near-optimal solution. Finally, simulation results are provided to confirm that our proposed scheme can improve the SCBs by 9.9 times compared to the local computing only scheme.

Transmit Power Minimization for STAR-RIS Empowered Symbiotic Radio Communications

In this paper, we propose a simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR-RIS) empowered transmission scheme for symbiotic radio (SR) systems to make more flexibility for network deployment and enhance system performance. The STAR-RIS is utilized to not only beam the primary signals from the base station (BS) towards multiple primary users on the same side of the STAR-RIS, but also achieve the secondary transmission to the secondary users on another side. We consider both the broadcasting signal model and unicasting signal model at the BS. For each model, we aim for minimizing the transmit power of the BS by designing the active beamforming and simultaneous reflection and transmission coefficients under the practical phase correlation constraint. To address the challenge of solving the formulated problem, we propose a block coordinate descent based algorithm with the semidefinite relaxation, penalty dual decomposition and successive convex approximation methods, which decomposes the original problem into one sub-problem about active beamforming and the other sub-problem about simultaneous reflection and transmission coefficients, and iteratively solve them until the convergence is achieved. Numerical results indicate that the proposed scheme can reduce up to 150.6% transmit power compared to the backscattering device enabled scheme.
