Ultraviolet (UV) communication overcomes pointing and tracking errors and is superior to other modern optical wireless communication technologies at short range. Using effective wavelengths from 200 to 280 nm, enables the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) outdoor UV communication in the presence of strong molecular and aerosol scattering. Because of these characteristics, solar blind NLOS UV communications offers broad coverage and high security. In this paper, NLOS UV communication is considered with decode and forward (DF) relays in the presence of log-normal (LN) channels using the best relay selection technique according to the channel state information (CSI). Then the outage probability of the multi-relay UV system is discussed for the proposed model. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of our employed analytical model. The outage probability for both serial and cooperative relays is compared with a different number of relays. Numerical simulations are further presented for many factors influencing the functioning of the system such as elevation angle, atmospheric scattering parameters and receiver field of view (FOV) angles. The obtained results demonstrate that increasing the number of UV NLOS cooperative relays does not necessarily improve the system performance, but there are other factors that must be considered such as the value of the elevation angle and the number of relays.

On Security Performance of SWIPT Multi-User Jamming Based on Mixed RF/FSO Systems with Untrusted Relay.

Sensors (Basel)

This paper presents research on the security performance of a multi-user interference-based mixed RF/FSO system based on SWIPT untrusted relay. In this work, the RF and FSO channels experience Nakagami-m fading distribution and Málaga (M) turbulence, respectively. Multiple users transmit messages to the destination with the help of multiple cooperating relays, one of which may become an untrusted relay as an insider attacker.

As the demand for high-speed, low-latency communication continues to grow, free-space optical (FSO) communication has gained prominence as a promising solution for supporting the next generation of wireless networks, especially in the context of the 5G and beyond era. It offers high-speed, low-latency data transmission over long distances without the need for a physical infrastructure. However, the deployment of FSO systems faces significant challenges, such as atmospheric turbulence, weather-induced signal degradation, and alignment issues, all of which can impair performance.

In this work, we unveil the advantages of synergizing cooperative rate splitting (CRS) with user relaying and simultaneously transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (STAR RIS). Specifically, we propose a novel STAR RIS-assisted CRS transmission framework, featuring six unique transmission modes that leverage various combinations of the relaying protocols (including full duplex-FD and half duplex-HD) and the STAR RIS configuration protocols (including energy splitting-ES, mode switching-MS, and time splitting-TS). With the objective of maximizing the minimum user rate, we then propose a unified successive convex approximation (SCA)-based alternative optimization (AO) algorithm to jointly optimize the transmit active beamforming, common rate allocation, STAR RIS passive beamforming, as well as time allocation (for HD or TS protocols) subject to the transmit power constraint at the base station (BS) and the law of energy conservation at the STAR RIS.

Distributed coordinated motion control of multiple UAVs oriented to optimization of air-ground relay network.

School of Automation Science and Electrical Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing, 100191, China.

A novel adaptive model-based motion control method for multi-UAV communication relay is proposed, which aims at improving the networks connectivity and the communications performance among a fleet of ground unmanned vehicles. The method addresses the challenge of relay UAVs motion control through joint consideration with unknown multi-user mobility, environmental effects on channel characteristics, unavailable angle-of-arrival data of received signals, and coordination among multiple UAVs. The method consists of two parts: (1) Network connectivity is constructed and communication performance index is defined using the minimum spanning tree in graph theory, which considers both the communication link between ground node and UAV, and the communication link between ground nodes.

The Par complex polarizes the plasma membrane of diverse animal cells using the catalytic activity of atypical Protein Kinase C (aPKC) to pattern substrates. Two upstream regulators of the Par complex, Cdc42 and Par-3, bind separately to the complex to influence its activity in different ways. Each regulator binds a distinct member of the complex, Cdc42 to Par-6 and Par-3 to aPKC, making it unclear how they influence one another's binding.
