Fluid Antennas (FAs)-assisted Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks leverage the FA position adaptivity and flexible beamforming to overcome the limitations of Fixed-Positioned Antennas (FPAs) in dynamic UAV channels and Multi-User (MU) interference. This letter investigates a dual FA-assisted UAV network for MU-Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) downlink communications, aiming to maximize the average achievable rate through the joint optimization of UAV trajectory, the transmit/receive FA positions, and beamforming. The formulated problem is highly coupled and non-convex. Accordingly, an efficient Alternating Optimization (AO)-based algorithm is developed for decomposed subproblems, yielding a suboptimal solution. Numerical results demonstrate significant performance gains of 120% and 110% over conventional FPA-based and existing FA-based baselines, respectively.
Implant medical wireless sensors for monitoring physiological parameters, automatic drug provision, and so on represent a new promising healthcare technology. Inherent characteristics of ultra-wideband (UWB) radio make this technology highly suitable for the wireless interface of…
The trade-off between noise averaging and temporal resolution fundamentally limits conventional zero-crossing frequency estimators under dynamic and noisy conditions. This paper presents an overlapped sampling-intervals zero-crossing fitting method (OS-ZFM), which introduces a st…
A body area network is a radio communication protocol for short-range, low-power, and highly reliable wireless communication for use on the surface, inside, or in the peripheral proximity of the human body. Combined with various biomedical sensors, BANs enable realtime collection…
This letter proposes an innovation-domain decision-directed phase tracking (ID-DDPT) architecture for coherent detection over Rayleigh fading channels with temporally correlated phase evolution and Wiener phase noise. By reformulating phase tracking into the innovation domain, re…
Terahertz (THz) communication systems for sixth-generation (6G) networks are severely impaired by Wiener phase noise (WPN), whose innovation variance at sub-THz carriers is substantially larger than in millimeter-wave 5G systems. Conventional common-phase-error (CPE) compensation…
Future wireless systems will require ever larger antenna arrays and heavier signal processing, making conventional digital multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architectures difficult to scale. In this paper, we show that a possible solution is to offload part of the processing…
