Statistical Analysis of Primary and Random Clusters in 318 GHz Terahertz Channels for Industrial IoT

The ultra-high data rates enabled by terahertz (THz) communications pave the way for the demanding requirements of industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications, making the investigation of THz channels in industrial environments a critical research topic. This paper presents a comprehensive statistical analysis of the propagation channel at 318\,GHz in an industrial environment. In particular, a new clustering scheme is proposed for the sparsity observed in the multipath components (MPCs) of the measured channel. Furthermore, statistical analyses are conducted separately for the group of strong reflections, defined as primary clusters, and other propagation phenomena, defined as random clusters, in a rich-scattering environment. The results demonstrate that the large-scale parameters are predominantly influenced by these strong reflections. This study provides reliable support and guidance for subsequent THz stochastic channel modeling.

Experimental Flight Testing of an Adaptive Autopilot with Parameter Drift Mitigation

This paper modifies an adaptive multicopter autopilot to mitigate instabilities caused by adaptive parameter drift and presents simulation and experimental results to validate the modified autopilot. The modified adaptive controller is obtained by including a static nonlinearity in the adaptive loop, updated by the retrospective cost adaptive control algorithm. It is shown in simulation and physical test experiments that the adaptive autopilot with proposed modifications can continually improve the fixed-gain autopilot as well as prevent the drift of the adaptive parameters, thus improving the robustness of the adaptive autopilot.

Experimental Flight Testing of a Fault-Tolerant Adaptive Autopilot for Fixed-Wing Aircraft

This paper presents an adaptive autopilot for fixed-wing aircraft and compares its performance with a fixed-gain autopilot. The adaptive autopilot is constructed by augmenting the autopilot architecture with adaptive control laws that are updated using retrospective cost adaptive control. In order to investigate the performance of the adaptive autopilot, the default gains of the fixed-gain autopilot are scaled to degrade its performance. This scenario provides a venue for determining the ability of the adaptive autopilot to compensate for the degraded fixed-gain autopilot. Next, the performance of the adaptive autopilot is examined under failure conditions by simulating a scenario where one of the control surfaces is assumed to be stuck at an unknown angle. The adaptive autopilot is also tested in physical flight experiments under degraded-nominal conditions, and the resulting performance improvement is examined.
