Modeling and Performance Analysis for Fluid Antenna System Enabled UAV Near-Field Communications

Fluid antenna systems (FASs) offer a promising solution for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) air-to-ground (A2G) communications by enabling reconfigurable radiation characteristics. Addressing the limitations of traditional models in capturing the dynamic port configuration of FAS and the near-field nature of UAV communications, this paper proposes a dynamic port-reconfigurable near-field channel model for FAS-assisted UAV-to-mobile user (MU) links. Furthermore, we develop a FAS-adaptive subarray partition scheme utilizing a greedy strategy. By decomposing line-of-sight (LoS) and non-line-of-sight (NLoS) components and integrating UAV motion dynamics with FAS port activation states, the proposed model accurately characterizes the non-uniform spatial distribution of near-field channels. The subarray partition scheme dynamically groups active ports to satisfy near-field conditions while significantly reducing computational complexity, supported by a dynamic update algorithm that efficiently handles subarray adjustments during port switching. To avoid low effective gain and deep-fading ports in dense FAS configurations, a channel gain-based selection strategy is employed to prioritize high-gain ports. We derive and analyze the modeling accuracy and channel capacity, investigating the impact of FAS dimensions, port spacing, active port count, and UAV dynamics on system performance. Finally, the computational complexity of the subarray partition scheme is evaluated, verifying its advantages for real-time applications and providing a theoretical foundation for the design and analysis of FAS in dynamic scenarios.

High-Efficient Near-Field Channel Characteristics Analysis for Large-Scale MIMO Communication Systems

Large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) holds great promise for the fifth-generation (5G) and future communication systems. In near-field scenarios, the spherical wavefront model is commonly utilized to accurately depict the propagation characteristics of large-scale MIMO communication channels. However, employing this modeling method necessitates the computation of angle and distance parameters for each antenna element, resulting in challenges regarding computational complexity. To solve this problem, we introduce a subarray decomposition scheme with the purpose of dividing the whole large-scale antenna array into several smaller subarrays. This scheme is implemented in the near-field channel modeling for large-scale MIMO communications between the base stations (BS) and the mobile receiver (MR). Essential channel propagation statistics, such as spatial cross-correlation functions (CCFs), temporal auto-correlation functions (ACFs), frequency correlation functions (CFs), and channel capacities, are derived and discussed. A comprehensive analysis is conducted to investigate the influence of the height of the BS, motion characteristics of the MR, and antenna configurations on the channel statistics. The proposed channel model criterions, such as the modeling precision and computational complexity, are also theoretically compared. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented communication model in obtaining a good tradeoff between modeling precision and computational complexity.

Large-Scale RIS Enabled Air-Ground Channels: Near-Field Modeling and Analysis

Existing works mainly rely on the far-field planar-wave-based channel model to assess the performance of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-enabled wireless communication systems. However, when the transmitter and receiver are in near-field ranges, this will result in relatively low computing accuracy. To tackle this challenge, we initially develop an analytical framework for sub-array partitioning. This framework divides the large-scale RIS array into multiple sub-arrays, effectively reducing modeling complexity while maintaining acceptable accuracy. Then, we develop a beam domain channel model based on the proposed sub-array partition framework for large-scale RIS-enabled UAV-to-vehicle communication systems, which can be used to efficiently capture the sparse features in RIS-enabled UAV-to-vehicle channels in both near-field and far-field ranges. Furthermore, some important propagation characteristics of the proposed channel model, including the spatial cross-correlation functions (CCFs), temporal auto-correlation functions (ACFs), frequency correlation functions (CFs), and channel capacities with respect to the different physical features of the RIS and non-stationary properties of the channel model are derived and analyzed. Finally, simulation results are provided to demonstrate that the proposed framework is helpful to achieve a good tradeoff between model complexity and accuracy for investigating the channel propagation characteristics, and therefore providing highly-efficient communications in RIS-enabled UAV-to-vehicle wireless networks.
