Fast-Converging Distributed Signal Estimation in Topology-Unconstrained Wireless Acoustic Sensor Networks

This paper proposes TI-DANSE+, an improved distributed signal estimation algorithm for topology-unconstrained wireless acoustic sensor networks that accelerates convergence by utilizing partial in-network sums and a tree-pruning strategy, while maintaining robustness to link failures and reducing communication bandwidth compared to existing methods.

Active Learning-Based Input Design for Angle-Only Initial Relative Orbit Determination

This paper proposes a hybrid framework for autonomous rendezvous that utilizes an active learning-based input design to enhance observability for angle-only initial relative orbit determination, subsequently transitioning to an Extended Kalman Filter and Model Predictive Controller to achieve reliable end-to-end mission execution.

Distributed Model Predictive Control for Dynamic Cooperation of Multi-Agent Systems

This paper proposes a distributed model predictive control framework that enables heterogeneous, nonlinear multi-agent systems to achieve dynamic cooperation and satisfy individual and coupling constraints by optimizing artificial references, thereby ensuring recursive feasibility, asymptotic stability, and emergent task solutions without predetermined trajectories.

Safety-Critical Control with Guaranteed Lipschitz Continuity via Filtered Control Barrier Functions

This paper introduces Filtered Control Barrier Functions (FCBFs), a framework that integrates an input regularization filter with High-Order CBFs within a unified quadratic program to simultaneously guarantee system safety, control bounds, and Lipschitz continuity of control inputs, thereby preventing abrupt changes that could degrade performance or violate actuator limits.

Entropy-and-Channel-Aware Adaptive-Rate Semantic Communication with MLLM-Aided Feature Compensation

This paper proposes an entropy-and-channel-aware adaptive-rate semantic communication framework for MIMO Rayleigh fading channels that dynamically selects feature maps and symbols based on channel conditions and content complexity, while leveraging a fine-tuned multimodal large language model (MLLM) at the receiver to compensate for discarded information and optimize task performance across varying signal-to-noise ratios.
