Hybrid Pinching-Fluid Antenna Assisted Wireless Communications: Modeling and Performance Analysis

Reconfigurable-antenna systems have received increasing attention for their ability to adapt wireless channels. However, existing architectures exhibit scenario-dependent limitations: fluid antennas provide strong diversity gains in rich-scattering environments but offer limited benefits under line-of-sight (LoS)-dominant conditions, while pinching antennas can effectively reduce path loss by adjusting the radiation point along a waveguide, yet perform poorly in severe non-LoS (NLoS) scenarios. This letter proposes a hybrid pinching-fluid antenna system (HPFAS), where pinching antenna (PA) is employed at the transmitter and a fluid antenna (FA) is used at the receiver to jointly exploit LoS enhancement and spatial diversity. A tractable channel model is developed, and outage probability expressions are derived for both single-user and multi-user scenarios. Simulation results validate the analysis and show that the proposed HPFAS consistently outperforms systems using only pinching antennas or only fluid antennas under various propagation conditions.

A Unified Fully Reconfigurable Architecture for Wireless Powered Communication Networks

Wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs) are a key enabler for sustainable Internet of Things (IoT) systems, yet their practical performance is constrained by inefficient wireless energy transfer, limited spatial adaptability, and fragile uplink connectivity in blockage-prone and dynamic environments. Emerging reconfigurable antenna technologies, including pinching antenna systems (PASSs), fluid antenna systems (FASs), movable antennas (MAs), and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), provide new opportunities to overcome these limitations, but have mostly been studied separately. In this article, we propose a unified architecture for fully reconfigurable WPCNs by jointly integrating PASS-enabled power beacons, FAS-based IoT devices, MA-assisted base stations, and RIS-aided propagation environments. The proposed framework enables end-to-end reconfigurability across downlink energy transfer, device-side spatial adaptation, base-station reception, and uplink information transmission. We further discuss the integration motivation, system architecture, design and optimization framework, illustrative performance evaluation, implementation tradeoffs, and major practical challenges. This article provides a new perspective for designing next-generation fully reconfigurable WPCNs.

Downlink Performance Analysis of Pinching Antenna Systems: WDMA or NOMA?

This paper presents an analytical framework for downlink pinching antenna systems (PASS) employing waveguide division multiple access (WDMA) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). A unified channel model is developed to capture antenna deployment, user spatial distribution, and path loss. Closed-form and single-integral expressions for the outage probability and average achievable rate are derived and validated via Monte Carlo simulations. The results show that NOMA achieves higher spectral efficiency at high transmit signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) due to successive interference cancellation (SIC), whereas WDMA offers more reliable performance at low to moderate SNR but suffers from an outage floor and rate saturation at high SNR. Moreover, WDMA performance is more sensitive to the user spatial distribution due to the spatially dependent inter-waveguide interference. These findings provide design insights for access-scheme selection and antenna placement in PASS.

Performance Analysis of Pinching-Antenna-Enabled Internet of Things Systems

The pinching-antenna systems (PASS), which activate small dielectric particles along a dielectric waveguide, has recently emerged as a promising paradigm for flexible antenna deployment in next-generation wireless communication networks. While most existing studies assume rectangular indoor layouts with full coverage waveguide, practical deployments may involve geometric constraints, partial coverage, and non-negligible waveguide attenuation. This paper presents the first analytical investigation of PASS in a circular indoor environment, encompassing both full coverage and partial coverage waveguide configurations with/without propagation loss. A unified geometric-propagation framework is developed that jointly captures pinching-antenna placement, Internet of Things (IoT) device location distribution, and waveguide attenuation. Closed-form expressions for the outage probability and average achievable rate are derived for four scenarios, with accuracy validated via extensive Monte-Carlo simulations. The analysis reveals that, under the partial coverage waveguide scenario with propagation loss, the system performance demonstrates a non-monotonic trend with respect to the waveguide length, and the optimal length decreases as the attenuation coefficient increases. Numerical results further quantify the interplay between deployment strategy, waveguide propagation loss, and coverage geometry, offering practical guidelines for performance-oriented PASS design.

On the Performance Analysis of Pinching-Antenna-Enabled SWIPT Systems

In this paper, we studies the performance of a novel simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system enabled by a flexible pinching-antenna. To support flexible deployment and optimize energy-rate performance, we propose three practical pinching antenna placement-schemes: the edge deployment scheme (EDS), the center deployment scheme (CDS), and the diagonal deployment scheme (DDS). Moreover, a hybrid time-switching (TS) and power-splitting (PS) protocol is introduced, allowing dynamic adjustment between energy harvesting and information decoding. Under each deployment strategy and the transmission protocol, closed-form expressions for the average harvested energy and average achievable rate of a randomly located user equipment (UE) are derived based on the optimal positioning of the pinching-antenna. Numerical simulations confirm the accuracy of the theoretical analysis and illustrate the trade-off between rate and energy harvesting under different schemes.

Large Language Model-Driven Distributed Integrated Multimodal Sensing and Semantic Communications

Traditional single-modal sensing systems-based solely on either radio frequency (RF) or visual data-struggle to cope with the demands of complex and dynamic environments. Furthermore, single-device systems are constrained by limited perspectives and insufficient spatial coverage, which impairs their effectiveness in urban or non-line-of-sight scenarios. To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel large language model (LLM)-driven distributed integrated multimodal sensing and semantic communication (LLM-DiSAC) framework. Specifically, our system consists of multiple collaborative sensing devices equipped with RF and camera modules, working together with an aggregation center to enhance sensing accuracy. First, on sensing devices, LLM-DiSAC develops an RF-vision fusion network (RVFN), which employs specialized feature extractors for RF and visual data, followed by a cross-attention module for effective multimodal integration. Second, a LLM-based semantic transmission network (LSTN) is proposed to enhance communication efficiency, where the LLM-based decoder leverages known channel parameters, such as transceiver distance and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), to mitigate semantic distortion. Third, at the aggregation center, a transformer-based aggregation model (TRAM) with an adaptive aggregation attention mechanism is developed to fuse distributed features and enhance sensing accuracy. To preserve data privacy, a two-stage distributed learning strategy is introduced, allowing local model training at the device level and centralized aggregation model training using intermediate features. Finally, evaluations on a synthetic multi-view RF-visual dataset generated by the Genesis simulation engine show that LLM-DiSAC achieves a good performance.

Latent Variable Models in the Era of Industrial Big Data: Extension and Beyond

A rich supply of data and innovative algorithms have made data-driven modeling a popular technique in modern industry. Among various data-driven methods, latent variable models (LVMs) and their counterparts account for a major share and play a vital role in many industrial modeling areas. LVM can be generally divided into statistical learning-based classic LVM and neural networks-based deep LVM (DLVM). We first discuss the definitions, theories and applications of classic LVMs in detail, which serves as both a comprehensive tutorial and a brief application survey on classic LVMs. Then we present a thorough introduction to current mainstream DLVMs with emphasis on their theories and model architectures, soon afterwards provide a detailed survey on industrial applications of DLVMs. The aforementioned two types of LVM have obvious advantages and disadvantages. Specifically, classic LVMs have concise principles and good interpretability, but their model capacity cannot address complicated tasks. Neural networks-based DLVMs have sufficient model capacity to achieve satisfactory performance in complex scenarios, but it comes at sacrifices in model interpretability and efficiency. Aiming at combining the virtues and mitigating the drawbacks of these two types of LVMs, as well as exploring non-neural-network manners to build deep models, we propose a novel concept called lightweight deep LVM (LDLVM). After proposing this new idea, the article first elaborates the motivation and connotation of LDLVM, then provides two novel LDLVMs, along with thorough descriptions on their principles, architectures and merits. Finally, outlooks and opportunities are discussed, including important open questions and possible research directions.

A Data-Driven Approach for Autonomous Motion Planning and Control in Off-Road Driving Scenarios

This paper presents a novel data-driven approach to vehicle motion planning and control in off-road driving scenarios. For autonomous off-road driving, environmental conditions impact terrain traversability as a function of weather, surface composition, and slope. Geographical information system (GIS) and National Centers for Environmental Information datasets are processed to provide this information for interactive planning and control system elements. A top-level global route planner (GRP) defines optimal waypoints using dynamic programming (DP). A local path planner (LPP) computes a desired trajectory between waypoints such that infeasible control states and collisions with obstacles are avoided. The LPP also updates the GRP with real-time sensing and control data. A low-level feedback controller applies feedback linearization to asymptotically track the specified LPP trajectory. Autonomous driving simulation results are presented for traversal of terrains in Oregon and Indiana case studies.

The improvement wave equations of relativistic and non-relativistic quantum mechanics

In this work, we follow the idea of the De Broglie's matter waves and the analogous method that Schrödinger founded wave equation, but we apply the more essential Hamilton principle instead of the minimum action principle of Jacobi which was used in setting up Schrödinger wave equation. Thus, we obtain a novel non-relativistic wave equation which is different from the Schrödinger equation, and relativistic wave equation including free and non-free particle. In addition, we get the spin 1/2 particle wave equation in potential field.
