Randomized Space-Time Stacked Intelligent Metasurfaces for Massive Multiuser Downlink Connectivity

This paper proposes a novel randomized space-time stacked intelligent metasurface (ST-SIM) architecture that integrates a time-varying input layer to exploit multiuser diversity and enable scalable massive downlink connectivity while significantly reducing channel state information acquisition and feedback overhead through a partial-CSIT-based beamforming scheme.

Remote Tracking with State-Dependent Sensing in Pull-Based Systems: A POMDP Framework

This paper proposes a POMDP framework for minimizing long-term weighted distortion and transmission costs in remote tracking of Markov sources via multiple heterogeneous sensors with state-dependent accuracy, introducing truncation-based and discounted reformulation methods to solve the resulting infinite-state belief-MDP and demonstrating their superior performance and structural insights over low-complexity baselines.

Randomized Distributed Function Computation (RDFC): Ultra-Efficient Semantic Communication Applications to Privacy

This paper introduces the Randomized Distributed Function Computation (RDFC) framework, a semantic communication approach that achieves local differential privacy and significantly reduces transmission rates compared to lossless methods, even in scenarios without shared randomness, by leveraging strong coordination metrics and randomized function generation.

Distributed Multichannel Wiener Filtering for Wireless Acoustic Sensor Networks

This paper proposes the distributed multichannel Wiener filter (dMWF), a non-iterative algorithm for wireless acoustic sensor networks that achieves optimal, centralized-level speech estimation performance with reduced communication bandwidth, even when nodes observe different sets of sources, thereby outperforming existing iterative solutions like DANSE.

Location-Agnostic Channel Knowledge Map Construction for Dynamic Scenes

This paper proposes a novel Location-Agnostic Dynamic Channel Knowledge Map (LAD-CKM) framework that utilizes dynamic RF radiance field rendering, a dedicated RARE-Net, and an adaptive deformation module to predict channel state information from instantaneous uplink and partial downlink data, thereby significantly improving effective data rates in dynamic 6G scenes without requiring precise user location information.
