Speech Title: Millimeter Wave Signal Propagation in Indoor Environment and Underground Mine
Abstract: With a huge spectrum of 5–7 GHz allocated as an unlicensed band worldwide, the 60-GHz millimeter wave frequency range has become attractive for future indoor networking. Very high data rates can be reached (on the order of several Gbps) because of the large available spectrum. With low interference with neighboring networks due to the oxygen resonance around 60 GHz, it becomes feasible to control mining machinery and implement underground communications by using wireless sensors. Modelling 60 GHz millimeter wave signal propagation in indoor environment and underground mine is of vital importance for realizing the above goals. Most of published channel modeling studies in the 60 GHz still make efforts to evaluate the heuristic diffraction coefficients around corners for relaying the signal while denying surrounding deflecting obstacles (DOs) and considering them as noise sources. Few measurements of radio propagation in underground mines have been carried out for the MIMO-mmW systems, including the effect of miners’ activity. In this presentation, the importance of the presence of deflecting obstacles (DOs) for indoor wireless local area network (WLAN) applications in the 60 GHz band is evaluated, the propagation characteristics of a MIMO-mmW system within an underground mine environment is discussed, with the effect of miners’ activity being considered.

Speech Title: Multi-Function Multi-Beam Reflectarray Antenna for Sub-Terahertz Applications
Abstract: A single-layer-substrate dual-band multi-beam reflectarray antenna based on polarization selection technique for sub-terahertz (sub-THz) applications is proposed in this talk. The antenna element consists of two primary ring components (outer and inner) that are orthogonally nested to achieve dual-band characteristics. The outer component is a split ring structure aligned along the y-axis, designed to excite X-polarized radiation through a pair of arc-shaped phase shift lines extending from the sides of the ring. The inner component, located within the outer ring, comprises two small arc-shaped microstrip patches connected vertically by a straight-bar microstrip line, resulting in Y-polarized radiation. Furthermore, the digital coding metasurface together with the single- and multi- focus phase compensation techniques , enables the antenna array to achieve four-beam radiation and dual-beam scanning in the lower and upper frequency bands. Measured results show a very wide elevation angle of up to 104°and a high aperture efficiency of 49.2% at the lower frequency of 135 GHz. At the upper frequency of 170 GHz, a low scanning loss of 1.6 dB and a high aperture efficiency of 29% are realized. Additionally, high peak gains of 19.7 dBi and 26.3 dBi are obtained for the respective bands. Therefore, the proposed sub-THz reflectarray antenna presents itself as a promising candidate for future 6G point-to-multipoint communication systems, offering large capacity, wide coverage, and high-resolution scanning capabilities.

Speech Title: Deep Learning-Based
Device Twin Model and Its Testing Applications
Abstract: Currently, radio frequency integrated circuits
(RFICs) are widely used in fields such as communication and
radar, leading to an increased focus on efficient and
accurate modeling methods. Despite the excellent device
simulation capabilities provided by S-parameters and SPICE
modeling methods, issues such as the difficulty of
describing time-domain dynamic characteristics with
S-parameters and the confidentiality risks associated with
SPICE white-box models persist. This report proposes a novel
RFIC modeling method based on deep learning to establish a
fast RFIC twin model, characterizing device internals
non-linearly. This aims to build a production testing system
architecture from a new dimension, enhancing testing
efficiency. The method involves using specially designed
signal excitations to test the RF amplifier, with
input-output signal pairs serving as training data for a
deep neural network. This approach effectively captures the
dynamic characteristics of the RF amplifier. The designed
test signals better stimulate the broad frequency response
and non-linear features of the RF amplifier, ensuring both
time-domain and frequency-domain testing quality.
Additionally, this method employs autoregressive modeling,
where the model not only learns the current input-output
signal relationships but also utilizes historical
input-output data for learning, capable of capturing
time-domain and frequency-domain characteristics of RF
amplifiers. Experimental validation confirms that this deep
learning-based RFIC modeling method, exemplified through RF
amplifier testing, has distinct advantages. It can
effectively characterize the characteristics of the tested
RF device with just a few tests, offering a new approach and
method for precise and efficient RF device modeling.

using photoelectric coupler. The protection circuit was formed
by using Hall sensor for direct detection of main circuit
current with a minute amount of elements. Further, we build a

Speech Title: Research on the Performance
and Optimization Strategies of Underwater Wireless Optical
Communication System under Microbubble Channel
Abstract: This research addresses critical challenges in
Underwater Wireless Optical Communication (UWOC) systems
within complex marine environments, focusing on two key
aspects. Firstly, to mitigate the interference of micron-sized
bubble swarms on communication performance, 10-250 μm bubble
groups conforming to oceanic distributions were simulated via
electrolysis, and their impact on Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing (OFDM) links was quantitatively analyzed
using an image acquisition platform. The results show that as
bubble density increases, the bit error rate exceeds the
Forward Error Correction (FEC) threshold. A 50mm
large-aperture receiver improves the communication threshold
by 136%, and combining Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) Multiple
Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology further enhances it by
50%. Secondly, to overcome the limited generalization
capability of traditional channel modeling methods, a UWOC
channel emulator based on Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML)
and Deep Convolutional Conditional Generative Adversarial
Network (DCGAN) is proposed. This emulator outperforms
traditional methods in both time and frequency domains
(time-domain correlation coefficient of 0.902,
frequency-domain error reduced by 38%), demonstrating rapid
adaptation to new water environments with varying attenuation
coefficients. These findings provide effective solutions for
performance optimization and channel modeling of UWOC systems
in complex marine environments.

Speech Title: A Cost-and-Time-Efficient Approach of Deploying
Mixture of Expert Models
Abstract: The emerging large language models
(LLMs) such as ChatGPT and DeepSeek have shown great potential in almost all
fields. However, the current centralized cloud deployment fashion makes it
barely possible to jointly serve tremendous user requests due to shortcomings
like insufficient resources and high response delays. In response to relieving
the above shortcomings, one approach is to deploy the LLM model in edge
networks, which shortens the responding delay and lowers the volume pressure.
This work shows the very pioneering efforts in deploying the mixture of expert
models (MoE) LLM over edge networks. To begin, we formally formulate the MoE
deployment problem. Next, we propose a novel cost-closeness centrality (CCC)
measure and design the novel CCC-based router and aggregator deployment (3C-RAD)
algorithm. Through extensive simulations, we have found that the 3C-RAD
algorithm can significantly improve the runtime efficiency while keeping the
cost efficiency in deploying MoE compared to brutal force.

Speech Title: Distributed Pairwise
Protection for Security-Aware Mission Chains in UAV Networks
Abstract: The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
communication network exhibits significant potential in
natural disaster management, with applications in flood relief
and wildfire control. In these scenarios, UAVs can dynamically
form mission chains (MCs) to collaboratively execute tasks
such as real-time monitoring and post-disaster search and
rescue. To address security challenges in these dynamic
environments, we implement MCs as security-aware service
function chains (SFCs). However, traditional SFC techniques
are often inefficient and resource-intensive when applied to
MCs in UAV networks, due to the networks' dynamic nature and
resource constraints. In this paper, we introduce and
mathematically formulate a novel problem, termed the
security-aware SFC distributed pairwise protection (SSFC-DPP)
problem in UAV networks, which optimizes SFC protection
against failures while balancing security and resource
demands, and prove its NP-hardness. To tackle SSFC-DPP, we
propose an efficient heuristic approach, the distributed
pairwise node protection (DPNP) algorithm, integrating a
security-resource ratio (SRR) factor and pairwise backup
selection (PBS) technique. Extensive simulations show that
DPNP reduces overall backup costs by 8.05% and 51.39% compared
to two benchmark algorithms, respectively.

Speech Title: Wi-Fi Signal Gesture Recognition Based on Multimodality
Abstract: With the development of technology, various gesture recognition devices and technologies have emerged to meet people's various needs. Traditional gesture recognition methods are relatively cumbersome and require wearing data gloves. At the same time, the technology based on computer vision needs to recognize that the target is always within sight. Therefore, we proposes a gesture recognition method based on multimodal Wi-Fi signals, and optimizes the gesture recognition methods from devices and technologies to overcome the problems in traditional recognition methods. Specifically, we first built a Wi-Fi signal data acquisition platform based on the Atheros network card, and the packet loss rate is less than 0.1%. Then, frame extraction is carried out for the video signal, and the T3D network based on DenseNet is used for video recognition. The video recognition rate reaches 95.0%. Finally, the above video data is extended to Wi-Fi signal, gesture recognition is performed jointly with CNN and GRU. The tests show that the gesture recognition rate of proposed scheme is 88.2%.

Speech Title: Dual Power Supply Strategies
for Ground-Air Integrated Network
Abstract: To address
the issues of how to maximize renewable power utilization and
lower the charging cost, power supply strategy for green base
station and UAV is proposed in this speech. For base station,
the strategy consists of Grid Connection Depth (GCD) model and
Battery Power Sharing (BPS) model, which reduce the dependence
on the grid and take advantage of idle power. The optimal power
transfer variables are obtained to facilitate the strategy for
maximizing renewable power utilization. For UAV, a static
charging station strategy that exploits inductive coupling and
battery hotswapping techniques is proposed. The strategy
consists of nearby battery swapping strategy and charging
station selection strategy for UAVs without time constraints
(CTC). For describing the mutual competition among UAV charging
selections in CTC strategy, a non-cooperative game framework
with pure strategy is developed. An iterative algorithm is
designed to solve the Nash equilibrium and obtain the optimal
charging selection scheme. The optimal ratio of weighting
factors is obtained through simulation and numerical analysis.
Finally, the comparison results with other strategies indicate
that the proposed strategies have the characteristics of low
cost and low latency. The simulation results demonstrate that
the proposed strategies have higher practical value compared
with other power supply strategies.

Speech Title: Key Technologies for Secure
Wireless Transmission Based on Covert Information Mapping and
Spatial Direction Modulation
Abstract: We propose a
comprehensive wireless secure transmission framework tailored
for physical layer security communication, with a focus on key
technologies integrating covert information mapping (CIM) and
spatial direction modulation (SDM). First, to address the
security degradation of traditional SDM systems when
eavesdroppers are equipped with distributed receivers, we design
the CIM-SDM structure, enhancing system robustness through
covert information mapping. The detection performance of both
legitimate users and eavesdroppers is theoretically derived,
confirming the security advantages of this approach under
extreme conditions. Second, we further introduce the CIM-GSDM
system, which incorporates generalized spatial modulation (GSM),
leveraging the indices of distributed receiver subsets and an
interference matrix to modulate covert information. This
effectively improves the bit error rate (BER) performance of
legitimate users while significantly degrading the demodulation
capability of eavesdroppers. Finally, we incorporate a joint
precoding and artificial noise (AN) design to optimize system
security, achieving dynamic optimization of multi-beam control
and power allocation to maximize the secrecy rate. Simulation
results demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly
enhances the security of wireless transmission while maintaining
the performance of legitimate users, making it well-suited for
general physical layer secure wireless communication scenarios.

Speech Title: Large Model-Empowered
Multimodal Semantic Communication
Abstract: Multimodal
signals, including text, audio, image, and video, can be
integrated into semantic communication systems to provide a
low-latency, high-quality immersive experience at the semantic
level. However, multimodal semantic communication faces several
challenges, such as data heterogeneity, semantic ambiguity, and
signal distortion during transmission.
In recent years, large
models, particularly large language models (LLMs),
vision-language models (VLMs), and large multimodal models
(LMMs), have offered potential solutions to address these
challenges. We conduct a systematic study on the application of
large models in semantic communication, including a cross-modal
semantic communication system based on VLMs, a multimodal
semantic communication system empowered by LMMs, a multi-agent
system leveraging LLMs, and a VLM-based multimodal, multi-user,
and multi-task semantic communication system.
Additionally,
we explore knowledge base design schemes based on large models
and propose a foundational large model for the communication
domain, enhanced with the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
and knowledge graph. These methods will further enhance the
performance of semantic communication, eliminate semantic noise,
and provide valuable insights for the advancement of semantic
communication technology.

Speech Title: Trustworthy Image Semantic Communication with GenAI: Explainablity, Controllability, and Efficiency
Abstract: Image semantic communication (ISC) has garnered significant attention for its potential to achieve high efficiency in visual content transmission. However, existing ISC systems based on joint source-channel coding face challenges in interpretability, operability, and compatibility. To address these limitations, we propose a novel trustworthy ISC framework. This approach leverages text extraction and segmentation mapping techniques to convert images into explainable semantics, while employing Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) for multiple downstream inference tasks. We also introduce a multi-rate ISC transmission protocol that dynamically adapts to both the received explainable semantic content and specific task requirements at the receiver. Simulation results based on a real-world demo demonstrate that our framework achieves explainable learning, decoupled training, and compatible transmission in various application scenarios. Finally, some intriguing research directions and application scenarios are identified.
