Omega-blocks with spatially compounding extremes over Europe are highly sensitive to remote atmospheric drivers

Omega-blocks can trigger spatially compounding heat-precipitation extremes with severe societal impacts, as seen in September 2023 when a heatwave over France coincided with devastating floods in the Iberian Peninsula and Greece. Although blocking in general has been linked to moist processes in upstream warm conveyor belts (WCBs), it has remained unexplored whether and how upstream WCB activity influences the evolution of omega-blocks and downstream flood-heat-flood impacts. Here, we show that already five days ahead, small differences in the upstream evolution - particularly in WCB outflow regions - distinguish cases that later produce extreme compound events over Europe from weaker ones, even though their large-scale anomalies initially appear similar. We illustrate the distinct evolution in remote locations by analyzing storylines simulated in a fully coupled climate model. Using ensemble boosting, we generate hundreds of physically plausible simulations of omega-prone situations. Lagrangian air parcel tracking reveals that variations in WCB outflow areas can explain differences in upstream precursors and downstream effects over Europe. Our results highlight ensemble boosting as a powerful approach to systematically track dynamical differences along model-based event storylines, important for understanding and anticipating compound extremes striking multiple regions simultaneously.

Self-Alignment Resonant Beam Empowers Beamforming without Estimation and Control for 6G IoT

The integration of communication, sensing, and wireless power transfer (WPT) is a cornerstone of 6G intelligent IoT. However, relying on traditional beamforming imposes prohibitive overheads due to complex channel state information (CSI) estimation and active beam scanning, particularly in dynamic environments. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the radio frequency resonant beam system (RF-RBS), a native physical-layer paradigm that circumvents these limitations. By deploying retro-directive antenna arrays (RAA) at transceivers, RF-RBS establishes a self-sustaining cyclic electromagnetic loop. This mechanism inherently enables self-aligning, high-gain beamforming through positive feedback, eliminating the reliance on digital CSI processing. We analyze the system's architecture and its capability to support high-efficiency WPT, robust communication, and millimeter-level passive positioning. Finally, we evaluate the implementation challenges and strategic value of RF-RBS in latency-sensitive 6G scenarios, including unmanned systems and industrial automation.

Feature Matching-Based Gait Phase Prediction for Obstacle Crossing Control of Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis

For amputees with powered transfemoral prosthetics, navigating obstacles or complex terrain remains challenging. This study addresses this issue by using an inertial sensor on the sound ankle to guide obstacle-crossing movements. A genetic algorithm computes the optimal neural network structure to predict the required angles of the thigh and knee joints. A gait progression prediction algorithm determines the actuation angle index for the prosthetic knee motor, ultimately defining the necessary thigh and knee angles and gait progression. Results show that when the standard deviation of Gaussian noise added to the thigh angle data is less than 1, the method can effectively eliminate noise interference, achieving 100\% accuracy in gait phase estimation under 150 Hz, with thigh angle prediction error being 8.71\% and knee angle prediction error being 6.78\%. These findings demonstrate the method's ability to accurately predict gait progression and joint angles, offering significant practical value for obstacle negotiation in powered transfemoral prosthetics.

Integrated Sensing and Communication System Based on Radio Frequency Resonance Beam

To address the complex beam control in traditional multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, researchers have proposed adaptive beam alignment using retro-directive antenna (RDA) arrays. This approach creates echo resonance between the base station (BS) and user equipment (UE), significantly reducing computational load. However, conventional resonant beam systems (RBS) suffer from echo interference due to the shared uplink and downlink frequency. Therefore, this paper proposes an innovative resonance beam-based integrated sensing and communication (RB-ISAC) system designed for efficient passive sensing and bidirectional communication. In this system, the UE operates passively, with both the BS and UE utilizing a phase conjugation and frequency conversion structure to decouple uplink and downlink carrier frequencies, ensuring continuous electromagnetic wave oscillation between the two ends. Effective compensation for signal propagation loss enables resonance after multiple oscillations. At this point, the beam's field forms a low-diffraction-loss, highly focused pattern, automatically aligning the transmitter and receiver. This enables high-precision passive positioning alongside robust uplink and downlink communication. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed system achieves resonance within multiple iterations, supporting uplink and downlink communication up to 5 m, and enabling passive direction of arrival (DOA) estimation with an error under 2$^\circ$ .

FDMA-Based Passive Multiple Users SWIPT Utilizing Resonant Beams

The rapid development of IoT technology has led to a shortage of spectrum resources and energy, giving rise to simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technology. However, traditional multiple input multiple output (MIMO)-based SWIPT faces challenges in target detection. We have designed a passive multi-user resonant beam system (MU-RBS) that can achieve efficient power transfer and communication through adaptive beam alignment. The frequency division multiple access (FDMA) is employed in the downlink (DL) channel, while frequency conversion is utilized in the uplink (UL) channel to avoid echo interference and co-channel interference, and the system architecture design and corresponding mathematical model are presented. The simulation results show that MU-RBS can achieve adaptive beam-forming without the target transmitting pilot signals, has high directivity, and as the number of iterations increases, the power transmission efficiency, signal-to-noise ratio and spectral efficiency of the UL and DL are continuously optimized until the system reaches the optimal state.

Resonant Beam Multi-Target DOA Estimation

With the increasing demand for internet of things (IoT) applications, especially for location-based services, how to locate passive mobile targets (MTs) with minimal beam control has become a challenge. Resonant beam systems are considered promising IoT technologies with advantages such as beam self-alignment and energy concentration. To establish a resonant system in the radio frequency (RF) band and achieve multi-target localization, this paper designs a multi-target resonant system architecture, allowing a single base station (BS) to independently connect with multiple MTs. By employing a retro-directive array, a multi-channel cyclic model is established to realize one-to-many electromagnetic wave propagation and MT direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation through echo resonance. Simulation results show that the proposed system supports resonant establishment between the BS and multiple MTs. This helps the BS to still have high DOA estimation accuracy in the face of multiple passive MTs, and can ensure that the DOA error is less than 1 degree within a range of 6 meters at a 50degree field of view, with higher accuracy than active beamforming localization systems.

Resonant Beam Enabled Passive 3D Positioning

With the rapid development of the internet of things (IoT), location-based services are becoming increasingly prominent in various aspects of social life, and accurate location information is crucial. However, RF-based indoor positioning solutions are severely limited in positioning accuracy due to signal transmission losses and directional difficulties, and optical indoor positioning methods require high propagation conditions. To achieve higher accuracy in indoor positioning, we utilize the principle of resonance to design a triangulation-based resonant beam positioning system (TRBPS) in the RF band. The proposed system employs phase-conjugation antenna arrays and resonance mechanism to achieve energy concentration and beam self-alignment, without requiring active signals from the target for positioning and complex beam control algorithms. Numerical evaluations indicate that TRBPS can achieve millimeter-level accuracy within a range of 3.6 m without the need for additional embedded systems.

Resonant Beam Enabled DoA Estimation in Passive Positioning System

The rapid advancement of the next generation of communications and internet of things (IoT) technologies has made the provision of location-based services for diverse devices an increasingly pressing necessity. Localizing devices with/without intelligent computing abilities, including both active and passive devices is essential, especially in indoor scenarios. For traditional RF positioning systems, aligning transmission signals and dealing with signal interference in complex environments are inevitable challenges. Therefore, this paper proposed a new passive positioning system, the RF-band resonant beam positioning system (RF-RBPS), which achieves energy concentration and beam alignment by amplifying echoes between the base station (BS) and the passive target (PT), without the need for complex channel estimation and time-consuming beamforming and provides high-precision direction of arrival (DoA) estimation for battery-free targets using the resonant mechanism. The direction information of the PT is estimated using the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm at the end of BS. The feasibility of the proposed system is validated through theoretical analysis and simulations. Results indicate that the proposed RF-RBPS surpasses RF-band active positioning system (RF-APS) in precision, achieving millimeter-level precision at 2m within an elevation angle of 35$^\circ$, and an error of less than 3cm at 2.5m within an elevation angle of 35$^\circ$.
