This article develops a large-signal stability analysis for a sampled-data optimization-based secondary controller for distributed energy resources (DERs) in power systems. The induced closed loop combines nonlinear inverter power-flow dynamics, filtered active and reactive power measurements, constrained optimization updates, and...
We address optimal link scheduling in large-scale wireless networks. The goal is to schedule transmissions over a time horizon so that to maximize sum rate while ensuring that average rates of each customer attain a minimum rate requirement. To this end, we formulate a constrained optimization problem and solve it using Lagrangian...
The blind mitigation of inter-symbol interference in additive white impulsive noise modeled by a symmetric $α$-stable (S$α$S) distribution is investigated. A novel logarithmic product fractional-moment statistics (LP-FMS) criterion is proposed by combining complementary fractional-moment statistics with logarithmic normalization in a...
The Hopfield network established that static memories can be stored as energy minima of a recurrent dynamical system, yet real intelligent agents must navigate \emph{sequences} of memories rather than isolated snapshots.Biological cortex addresses this through a separation of timescales: fast synaptic dynamics encode individual states...
Large language models (LLMs) and agentic AI systems have evolved from natural language tasks to using external tools to plan, retrieve, and act in technical domains. In smart grids, recent work applies agentic schemes to forecasting, optimization, and control, wrapping trusted solvers behind language interfaces and orchestrating...
Flight test is shifting toward a data-centric approach in which data contribute to model refinement, reducing reliance on pre-scripted test points. An open problem is how to sequence maneuvers within a sortie to maximize uncertainty reduction under resource limits. We present a real-time planning framework that combines a Gaussian...
This paper proposes a tri-hybrid beamforming (tri-HBF) scheme with antenna-selection (AS)-based reconfigurable sub-arrays for full-duplex (FD) massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) systems. A sub-connected HBF architecture is adopted, where AS is performed in a group-wise manner to avoid excessive switch-network and routing...
As low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications take shape on a global scale, system-level evaluation has become essential for a rigorous understanding of their performance characteristics. Most existing studies have relied on a full-buffer assumption, which obscures the heterogeneity and intermittency that characterize actual user...
Radio maps, which estimate spatial radio-frequency characteristics from spectrum measurements, are essential for applications such as spectrum management and network planning. With the continuous arrival of spectrum measurements, conventional batch processing methods for radio map reconstruction become computationally prohibitive, as...
The increasing penetration of inverter-based resources has led to a significant reduction in system inertia, resulting in faster and more pronounced frequency deviations in modern low-inertia power systems. In such environments, the dynamic behavior of electrical loads becomes increasingly important in shaping overall system frequency...
This paper presents the tttAI system submitted to the TSA-ASR task of the SmartGlasses Challenge 2026, evaluated on both two-person dialogues (Track 1) and multi-party meetings (Track 2). The task requires time-stamped speaker-attributed speech recognition from smart-glasses recordings. This is particularly challenging due to...
This paper investigates a massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) framework for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) with inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging, supporting applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT). A dual-function architecture combines...
Hydraulic soft fingers offer compliant and gentle manipulation, but their practical deployment is limited by bulky fluidic hardware, fabrication complexity, and insufficient design validation. This paper presents a compact 3D-printed soft hydraulic finger driven by a miniature cyclic peristaltic loop. The finger integrates compliant...
In wireless powered communication networks, medium access control protocols for devices using the harvest-then-transmit strategy must be distributed, low-overhead, and capable of handling irregular and infrequent data transmissions to ensure efficient energy utilisation. However, most existing protocols fail to meet one or more of...
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a valuable tool for non-invasive battery characterisation as it provides a compact data representation of physical processes over a wide range of time scales. Commonly, sinusoids at different frequencies are injected sequentially (single-sines). Alternatively, a multisine excitation (a...
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) detection using successive interference cancellation (SIC) and joint multiuser maximum likelihood (JML) has been extensively studied, although their presumed optimality for individual-user bit error rate (BER) minimization is unestablished. Moreover, existing BER analyses overlook the SIC-induced...
Background: Retinal fundus imaging is central to the early diagnosis of sight-threatening conditions including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and retinal vein occlusion. Clinical utility of fundus images is routinely compromised by non-uniform illumination, motion blur, and low contrast - artefacts that increase the risk of...
This paper investigates the statistical ambiguity functions (AFs) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms that incorporate deterministic unit-modulus pilot symbols and random data payloads for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). We derive analytical expressions for the mean squared discrete periodic...
Multi-band integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) offers complementary high- and low-frequency echo information for multi-target sensing. However, existing dual-band ISAC sensing methods have a limited ability to exploit deep complementary information across heterogeneous bands and often incur high computational costs. To address...
We propose a reinforcement learning (RL) based optimal distributed control algorithm for the multi-agent systems (MASs) with stochastic uncertainties. Unlike existing methods, during the optimized backstepping design process, we use the actor-critic-identifier structure. The actor neural network is used to reflect control behavior,...
Simultaneous acoustic information and power transfer (SAIPT) is a promising technique for supporting self-sustainable Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) networks through concurrent data transmission and energy supplement. However, existing OFDM-based SAIPT studies are vulnerable to severe multipath propagation and Doppler effects in...
Networked SEIR models describe epidemic spread within and between interacting subpopulations through contact-supported nonlinear transmission. Standard polynomial liftings based on complete ordered Kronecker tensors yield linear higher-dimensional representations, but their dimensions grow rapidly because they retain interactions...
Characterizing communication performance under the physical constraints imposed by radio frequency front-end circuits is essential for bridging communication-theoretic analysis and practical circuit design. In this work, we investigate the achievable-rate upper bound of a multiple-input single-output (MISO) system with a...
In this paper, we propose to design, develop, and implement the new DMAIC methodology for Six-Sigma quality management of AM. First, we define the specific quality challenges arising from AM layer-wise fabrication and mass customization (even one-of-a-kind production). Second, we present a review of AM metrology and sensing...
The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and wearable health monitors has created an urgent demand for ultra-low-power analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Successive approximation register (SAR) ADCs are widely used in such applications, yet their energy efficiency remains constrained by the sequential bit-by-bit...
