Individually measuring head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) at scale remains a central challenge for personalised spatial audio, motivating growing interest in synthetic HRTFs. We evaluated the numerical, computational, and behavioural validity of synthetic HRTFs, generated through the boundary element method simulation using...
This paper presents a real-time orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) radar embedded in the OpenAirInterface (OAI) 5G base-station process. The radar removes communication symbols by regularized element-wise division and performs range-Doppler processing and ordered-statistic constant-false-alarm-rate detection online...
An accurate estimation of the state of health (SOH) underpins a safe and optimized use of the battery system. Although compelling, data-driven SOH estimation models typically require large amounts of high-quality labeled cycling data, while in practice such labels are often sparse in both quantity and coverage. Therefore, in this...
Oscillation is a critical issue that power systems have long faced. Especially over the past two decades, with the large-scale inte-gration of renewable energy into the grid, oscillation problems have posed a serious threat to the secure operation of power systems. However, the current literature has not fully explained the...
Objective assessment of learning remains a fundamental challenge in education. Electroencephalography (EEG) provides a direct, non-invasive window into the neural correlates of knowledge acquisition, including cognitive familiarity. This study benchmarks fifteen machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models for EEG-based...
Near-field antenna measurements underpin the characterization of electrically large apertures, yet the fidelity of the Near-Field to Far-Field (NF-FF) transformation depends on the reconstruction algorithm's assumptions and robustness to real-world imperfections, including those from drone-based scanning platforms. Classical...
This paper outlines a sonification design to support fault detection in the transmission of I2S transport signals. I2S is a protocol for communicating real-time digital audio between integrated circuits that, while in wide and general use, does not include built-in error detection. Moreover, given the nature of the protocol...
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) based on air-plasma generation and balanced air-biased coherent detection offers gap-free broadband coverage, but individual continuous-scan traces are strongly affected by pulse-to-pulse fluctuations and electronic noise. Reaching a useful signal-to-noise ratio therefore requires averaging...
This paper proposes a two-layer model predictive control (MPC) framework for the real-time operation of data centers integrated with on-site photovoltaic generation, battery energy storage, waste heat recovery, and district heating. The upper layer employs scenario-based stochastic optimization to jointly optimize intraday market...
Multi-step rollouts are essential for model-based reinforcement learning (RL) and predictive control, yet learned dynamics models often become unstable when recursively applied, leading to divergence and unreliable policy updates. This paper proposes a model-agnostic hybrid dynamics framework that blends a provably contracting nominal...
The stringent energy-efficiency requirements of future Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) systems are fundamentally challenged. Unlike conventional communication systems, ISAC transmitters must radiate significantly higher power to ensure reliable target detection, forcing the High-Power Amplifier (HPA) to operate closer to...
Learning-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) using Gaussian processes (GPs) is an effective approach for safe control in the presence of model mismatch. High-probability safety guarantees typically require uncertainty bounds that hold uniformly over the entire state--input domain, but existing bounds are available only for full GP...
Direct Device-to-Satellite (D2S) communications promise global connectivity to unmodified user equipment (UE), extending coverage beyond terrestrial networks. Realizing this promise is fundamentally challenging: severe path loss and limited UE transmit power push uplink SNRs far below terrestrial norms, while suitable spectrum remains...
Reconstructing heard speech from non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) is challenging due to a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and inter-session variability. While trial averaging improves the SNR, it is difficult to apply to continuous speech. We instead use repeated EEG responses to the same stimulus across different sessions as...
We study an Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)-based traffic-coordination framework for Urban Air Mobility corridors with merging at constrained waypoints (CWPs), where approved ETAs at CWPs serve as Required Times of Arrival (RTAs). Vehicle operators submit ETA plans at the merging point for approval by corridor-management authorities...
This paper investigates a movable-element simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (ME-STARS) assisted rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) system under imperfect channel state information (CSI). Unlike conventional STARS with fixed element positions, the elements of ME-STARS can be repositioned...
Music source separation systems typically extract a single vocal track and do not distinguish between multiple singers. We study singer-informed vocal source separation for multi-singer mixtures. Our framework introduces a short enrollment recording of a target singer to guide separation through a learned embedding. The singer...
Network-level maintenance planning requires repeated evaluations of equilibrium traffic flows under road capacity reductions. While equilibrium traffic assignment models are well established, their repeated solution quickly becomes computationally prohibitive and challenging to embed within maintenance scheduling problems. This paper...
Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is a key enabler for future wireless systems, providing environmental information that can support tasks beyond conventional data transmission. However, its impact on channel decoding remains less explored. This paper studies sensing-aided ordered reliability bits guessing random additive...
The standard master stability function (MSF) formulation has traditionally relied on a diagonalizable network Laplacian, since diagonalizability allows the variational equations to be decomposed into independent equations. Directed Laplacians, however, need not be diagonalizable. We show that every weakly connected digraph admits a...
MRI reconstruction from undersampled k-space measurements is an ill-posed inverse problem. Physics-driven deep learning (PD-DL) methods have shown strong performance for this task by combining the MRI forward model with learned image regularization within algorithm-unrolling frameworks. However, most existing PD-DL methods reconstruct...
Future sixth-generation non-terrestrial networks are expected to combine low Earth orbit (LEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), and geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellites, whose complementary layers must be coordinated through joint user association, power allocation, and handover management under fast LEO dynamics. This paper studies...
This paper addresses the beam alignment problem in MIMO systems from a decentralized, mobile terminal (MT)-centric perspective. We propose a lightweight machine learning approach that leverages position information to perform beam selection without relying on exhaustive search or strong base station coordination. Specifically, we...
Semantic communication exploits the meaning of the payload, which bit-level processing discards. When channel decoding fails on a natural language payload, the errors appear as corrupted characters in the recovered text. A large language model (LLM) infers the intended characters from the semantic context, but it can also produce...
Semantic communication (SC) enables bandwidth-efficient wireless image transmission, but most existing SC schemes are user-agnostic and ignore receiver-dependent semantics. To address this issue, we propose a personalized digital semantic communication (PDSC) framework that integrates a vision-language model (VLM)-based semantic...
