First Evidence of Potential Language-Like Communication in Dolphins: Study
Scientists with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and partners have identified possible language-like communication among dolphins.

The European Space Agency (ESA) successfully established a transmission-reception optical link with NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment onboard its #Psyche mission, located 265 million kilometres away, using two optical grounds stations developed for this purpose in Greece: https://www.esa.int/Enabling_Support/Operations/Europe_s_first_deep-space_optical_communication_link

Towards Communication-Efficient Decentralized Federated Graph Learning over Non-IID Data
Decentralized Federated Graph Learning (DFGL) overcomes potential bottlenecks of the parameter server in FGL by establishing a peer-to-peer (P2P) communication network among workers. However, while extensive cross-worker communication of graph node embeddings is crucial for DFGL training, it introduces substantial communication costs. Most existing works typically construct sparse network topologies or utilize graph neighbor sampling methods to alleviate the communication overhead in DFGL. Intu…

Eigenvalue-Based Detection in MIMO Systems for Integrated Sensing and Communication
This paper considers a MIMO Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) system, where a base station simultaneously serves a MIMO communication user and a remote MIMO sensing receiver, without channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter. Existing MIMO ISAC literature often prioritizes communication rate or detection probability, typically under constant false-alarm rate (CFAR) assumptions, without jointly analyzing detection reliability and communication constraints. To address this gap,…

User-Intent-Driven Semantic Communication via Adaptive Deep Understanding
Semantic communication focuses on transmitting task-relevant semantic information, aiming for intent-oriented communication. While existing systems improve efficiency by extracting key semantics, they still fail to deeply understand and generalize users' real intentions. To overcome this, we propose a user-intention-driven semantic communication system that interprets diverse abstract intents. First, we integrate a multi-modal large model as semantic knowledge base to generate user-intention pr…

Design and analysis of a set of discrete variable protocols for secure quantum communication
The advent of quantum key distribution (QKD) has revolutionized secure communication by providing unconditional security, unlike classical cryptographic methods. However, its effectiveness relies on robust identity authentication, as vulnerabilities in the authentication process can cause a compromise with the security of the entire communication system. Over the past three decades, numerous quantum identity authentication (QIA) protocols have been proposed. This thesis first presents a chronol…

Multi Robot Coordination in Highly Dynamic Environments: Tackling Asymmetric Obstacles and Limited Communication
Coordinating a fully distributed multi-agent system (MAS) can be challenging when the communication channel has very limited capabilities in terms of sending rate and packet payload. When the MAS has to deal with active obstacles in a highly partially observable environment, the communication channel acquires considerable relevance. In this paper, we present an approach to deal with task assignments in extremely active scenarios, where tasks need to be frequently reallocated among the agents pa…
