OmniGUI: Benchmarking GUI Agents in Omni-Modal Smartphone Environments

Current benchmarks for graphical user interface (GUI) agents predominantly rely on static screenshots. However, real-world smartphone interaction routinely requires agents to process transient audio cues and temporal video dynamics that are tightly coupled with the moment of action. To bridge this gap, we introduce OmniGUI, the first step-level benchmark designed to evaluate GUI agents in omni-modal smartphone environments. OmniGUI provides continuous, interleaved multimodal inputs comprising static images, synchronous audio, and video clips at every action step. The dataset encompasses 709 expert-demonstrated episodes (2,579 action steps) across 29 applications, systematically annotated with objective multimodal dependency levels. Because dedicated omni-modal GUI agent frameworks are currently in their nascent stage, we select foundational omni-modal models capable of natively processing interleaved inputs to serve as agent proxies for our initial baselines. Our empirical evaluation reveals that while current models exhibit competency on visually static tasks, their action prediction performance degrades significantly in environments requiring synchronous temporal and auditory signals. Furthermore, ablation studies isolate specific operational bottlenecks, notably cross-modal interference when processing task-irrelevant environmental noise. The complete dataset, evaluation pipeline, and baseline prompts are provided in the supplementary material. Project page: https://omni-gui.github.io.

A New Store-then-Amplify-and-Forward Protocol for UAV Mobile Relaying

In this letter, we consider the use of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a mobile relay to assist the communication between two ground users without a direct link. We propose a novel store-then-amplify-and-forward (SAF) relaying protocol for the UAV to exploit its mobility jointly with the low-complexity AF relaying. Specifically, the received signal from the source is first stored in a buffer at the UAV, then amplified and forwarded to the destination when the UAV flies closer to the destination. With this new SAF protocol, we aim to maximize the throughput of the UAV-enabled relaying system by jointly optimizing the source/UAV transmit power and the UAV trajectory, as well as the time-slot pairing for each data packet received and forwarded by the UAV. As this problem is a non-convex mixed integer optimization problem that is difficult to solve, we propose an efficient algorithm for obtaining a suboptimal solution for it by applying the techniques of Hungary algorithm, alternating optimization and successive convex approximation. Numerical results show that the proposed mobile SAF relaying outperforms the conventional AF relaying without signal storing.
