Fluid-Dynamic Interference Modeling for LEO Mega-Constellations: A Spatiotemporal Kinetic Field Approach

Low Earth orbit (LEO) mega-constellations create a highly non-stationary interference environment that cannot be accurately captured by static stochastic-geometry snapshots. This paper proposes a kinetic interference field framework that models the constellation as a compressible fluid shell evolving under orbital kinematics. By mapping satellite motion into a continuum flux field, we derive a hydrodynamic conservation law for the aggregate interference and obtain a closed-form expression for the time-varying outage probability via moment matching. The analysis reveals that high-latitude ``interference surges'' are a direct consequence of orbital compression and boundary flux, rather than random anomalies. Numerical validation against ephemeris-driven Monte Carlo simulations confirms the accuracy of the framework across time evolution, latitude, and design parameters. Leveraging the closed-form model, we further show that the conventional $90^{\circ}$ polar-orbit design is not universally outage-optimal. Instead, an inclination angle near $79^{\circ}$ at low altitude achieves a favorable trade-off between coverage continuity and geometric interference isolation. The proposed framework provides a tractable analytical tool for interference-aware 6G non-terrestrial network (NTN) design.

Proper Sea Surface Roughness Enhances the Performance of Near-Shore Maritime Networks

Accurate performance analysis for near-shore maritime wireless communication is essential for ensuring robust and reliable operations. However, existing analytical models often rely on oversimplified propagation assumptions, such as a perfectly smooth sea surface, which fail to capture the full dynamics of the maritime channel. In this paper, we develop a physically grounded analytical framework using stochastic geometry that bridges this gap. The spatial distribution of vessels is modeled as a non-homogeneous Poisson point process to reflect realistic near-port densities. We replace the idealized smooth-sea assumption by deriving a novel reflection coefficient from the classical Rayleigh criterion, which explicitly links the path loss to the significant wave height. Integrating this roughness-aware channel model into the stochastic geometry framework, we derive new analytical expressions for the uplink coverage probability and average ergodic rate, providing the first tractable characterization of aggregate interference under such dynamic conditions. The analysis reveals a sea-state-dependent reliability--capacity trade-off: roughness-induced attenuation of the coherent specular reflection can suppress destructive-interference nulls and improve reliability-oriented coverage, while reducing high-SINR and average-rate performance. Available measurements support the underlying roughness-sensitive reflection mechanism, but direct VHF validation under rough sea conditions remains unavailable; the corresponding rough-sea results are therefore interpreted as model-based predictions. A cross-frequency ablation further confirms the wavelength dependence of the roughness effect and shows that the reflection coefficient must be evaluated for the operating frequency.

Digital Tides: A Fluid-Dynamic Framework for Flux-Aware Infrastructure Provisioning in UAV Logistics Networks

The emergence of high-frequency pulsating logistics unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms gives rise to ``Digital Tides'', i.e., complex traffic dynamics that challenge sustainable resource provisioning in mobile computing networks. Conventional infrastructure provisioning strategies, which typically rely on static snapshot-based analysis and localized density estimation, fail to capture the macroscopic advection of computational workloads. As a result, reactive resource activation suffers from inherent hysteresis, yielding nominal efficiency gains at the cost of mission-critical service loss at the advancing wavefront. To address this issue, we develop a fluid-based spatiotemporal framework by explicitly solving the continuity equation to characterize the macroscopic velocity field of the workload flow. Building on this framework, we propose a flux-aware asymmetric activation strategy that leverages the derived information flux vector as a kinematic precursor of demand propagation. Unlike symmetric thresholding, the proposed control logic decouples activation and deactivation dynamics. Theoretical analysis confirms the intrinsic spatial phase-lead of the flux signal and shows that the proposed strategy generates a proactive guard ring to compensate for service setup latency, including delays caused by mobile edge computing container cold-starts. We further derive closed-form expressions for instantaneous service availability and period-average energy efficiency. In addition, we formulate a quality-of-service-penalized metric to evaluate effective energy efficiency under strict outage constraints. Numerical results show that the proposed flux-driven strategy enables zero-latency tracking of the mobile wavefront and achieves a Pareto-optimal trade-off between service reliability and energy consumption, outperforming reactive baselines in dynamic logistics corridors.

Vorticity Dissipation Based Routing: A Fluid-Kinetic Framework for Loop-Free Transport in Ultra-Dense Networks

Discrete routing protocols in ultra-dense wireless networks are constrained by signaling overhead and transient routing loops that degrade radio-resource efficiency. While continuum modeling provides a scalable alternative, existing scalar density approaches lack the vector geometric structure required to characterize these topological anomalies. This paper introduces a fluid-kinetic framework, vorticity dissipation-based routing (VDR), utilizing the Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition. We demonstrate that the macroscopic traffic flux can be orthogonally decoupled into a demand-driven irrotational component and a loop-induced solenoidal component representing routing vorticity. Building on this insight, we define network vorticity as a macroscopic metric to quantify topological inefficiency. Routing optimization is formulated as a gradient flow on an enstrophy functional, yielding a vorticity dissipation equation as the governing dynamic law. Lyapunov stability analysis proves that this mechanism ensures the monotonic decay of global enstrophy toward an asymptotically loop-free equilibrium. Numerical results validate that VDR suppresses realized forwarding loops, reduces end-to-end delay, maintains robust packet delivery, and exhibits near-linear scaling under fixed-area densification while explicitly accounting for the grid-dependent Poisson-solver cost.

Fluid-Spatiotemporal Stochastic Geometry: Information Flow in Non-Stationary Fields

The fundamental limits of information flow in spatial networks are usually characterized under stationary spatial point processes, but this assumption cannot capture non-stationary regimes where the node intensity field evolves continuously in space and time. This paper develops Fluid-Spatiotemporal Stochastic Geometry (F-STSG), treating dynamic network topology as a hydrodynamic limit of the discrete node constellation. We formulate the identification of latent network dynamics as an inverse boundary value problem and, using the minimum kinetic energy principle from optimal transport, establish the existence and uniqueness of a scalar potential field governing the compressive evolution of network load. The resulting field-theoretic formulation couples continuous Lagrangian transport with discrete Eulerian interference geometry. Based on this model, we derive the information flux vector as a sufficient statistic for macroscopic advection and the material derivative as a kinematic predictor of topological divergence. We further characterize non-stationary network limits through energy-density scaling and source-channel interpretation, showing how coordination overhead, topology deformation, and control signaling requirements are linked to the kinematic entropy of the evolving network topology.

Modeling and Performance Analysis of IoT-over-LEO Satellite Systems under Realistic Operational Constraints: A Stochastic Geometry Approach

Current theoretical studies on IoT-over-LEO satellite systems often rely on unrealistic assumptions, such as infinite terrestrial areas and omnidirectional satellite coverage, leaving significant gaps in theoretical analysis for more realistic operational constraints. These constraints involve finite terrestrial area, limited satellite coverage, Earth curvature effect, integral uplink and downlink analysis, and link-dependent interference. To address these gaps, this paper proposes a novel stochastic geometry based model to rigorously analyze the performance of IoT-over-LEO satellite systems. By adopting a binomial point process (BPP) instead of the conventional Poisson point process (PPP), our model accurately characterizes the geographical distribution of a fixed number of IoT devices in a finite terrestrial region. This modeling framework enables the derivation of distance distribution functions for both the links from the terrestrial IoT devices to the satellites (T-S) and from the satellites to the Earth station (S-ES), while also accounting for limited satellite coverage and Earth curvature effects. To realistically represent channel conditions, the Nakagami fading model is employed for the T-S links to characterize diverse small-scale fading environments, while the shadowed-Rician fading model is used for the S-ES links to capture the combined effects of shadowing and dominant line-of-sight paths. Furthermore, the analysis incorporates uplink and downlink interference, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of system performance. The accuracy and effectiveness of our theoretical framework are validated through extensive Monte Carlo simulations. These results provide insights into key performance metrics, such as coverage probability and average ergodic rate, for both individual links and the overall system.

Betweenness Centrality Based Dynamic Source Routing for Flying Ad Hoc Networks in Marching Formation

Designing high-performance routing protocols for flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) is challenging due to the diversity of applications and the dynamics of network topology. The existing general-purpose routing protocols for ad hoc networks often oversimplify mobility patterns and disregard the unequal importance of nodes, resulting in suboptimal routing decisions that are unsuitable for task-oriented FANETs. To break the bottleneck, in this paper we propose a betweenness centrality based dynamic source routing (BC-DSR) protocol for a flying ad hoc network (FANET) in marching formation. Firstly, we introduce a Gauss-Markov group (GMG) mobility model based on the leader-follower pattern, which accurately captures the temporal and spatial correlations of node movements in the realistic marching formation. Besides, we exploit the concept of BC defined in graph theory to measure the structural unequal importance of relay nodes, i.e., to determine link weights, in the particular marching formation topology. The path of least cost is calculated relying on a weighted directed graph constructed. The ns-3 based simulation results demonstrate that our BCDSR protocol achieves higher packet-delivery ratio and lower average end-to-end latency and routing overhead ratio than representative benchmark protocols used in FANETs, while maintaining a reasonably small network jitter.

Outage Probability Analysis of Uplink Heterogeneous Non-terrestrial Networks: A Novel Stochastic Geometry Model

In harsh environments such as mountainous terrain, dense vegetation areas, or urban landscapes, a single type of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may encounter challenges like flight restrictions, difficulty in task execution, or increased risk. Therefore, employing multiple types of UAVs, along with satellite assistance, to collaborate becomes essential in such scenarios. In this context, we present a stochastic geometry based approach for modeling the heterogeneous non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) by using the classical binomial point process and introducing a novel point process, called Mat{é}rn hard-core cluster process (MHCCP). Our MHCCP possesses both the exclusivity and the clustering properties, thus it can better model the aircraft group composed of multiple clusters. Then, we derive closed-form expressions of the outage probability (OP) for the uplink (aerial-to-satellite) of heterogeneous NTNs. Unlike existing studies, our analysis relies on a more advanced system configuration, where the integration of beamforming and frequency division multiple access, and the shadowed-Rician (SR) fading model for interference power, are considered. The accuracy of our theoretical derivation is confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations. Our research offers fundamental insights into the system-level performance optimization of NTNs.

Stochastic Geometry Based Modelling and Analysis of Uplink Cooperative Satellite-Aerial-Terrestrial Networks for Nomadic Communications with Weak Satellite Coverage

Cooperative satellite-aerial-terrestrial networks (CSATNs), where unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are utilized as nomadic aerial relays (A), are highly valuable for many important applications, such as post-disaster urban reconstruction. In this scenario, direct communication between terrestrial terminals (T) and satellites (S) is often unavailable due to poor propagation conditions for satellite signals, and users tend to congregate in regions of finite size. There is a current dearth in the open literature regarding the uplink performance analysis of CSATN operating under the above constraints, and the few contributions on the uplink model terrestrial terminals by a Poisson point process (PPP) relying on the unrealistic assumption of an infinite area. This paper aims to fill the above research gap. First, we propose a stochastic geometry based innovative model to characterize the impact of the finite-size distribution region of terrestrial terminals in the CSATN by jointly using a binomial point process (BPP) and a type-II Mat{é}rn hard-core point process (MHCPP). Then, we analyze the relationship between the spatial distribution of the coverage areas of aerial nodes and the finite-size distribution region of terrestrial terminals, thereby deriving the distance distribution of the T-A links. Furthermore, we consider the stochastic nature of the spatial distributions of terrestrial terminals and UAVs, and conduct a thorough analysis of the coverage probability and average ergodic rate of the T-A links under Nakagami fading and the A-S links under shadowed-Rician fading. Finally, the accuracy of our theoretical derivations are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations. Our research offers fundamental insights into the system-level performance optimization for the realistic CSATNs involving nomadic aerial relays and terrestrial terminals confined in a finite-size region.
