Max-Min Fair Energy-Efficient Beam Design for Quantized ISAC LEO Satellite Systems: A Rate-Splitting Approach
Low earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems with sensing functionality is envisioned to facilitate global-coverage service and emerging applications in 6G. Currently, two fundamental challenges, namely, inter-beam interference among users and power limitation at the LEO satellites, limit the full potential of the joint design of sensing and communication. To effectively control the interference, rate-splitting multiple access (RSMA) scheme is employed as the interference management strategy in the …

An In-Depth Investigation of LEO Satellite Topology Design Parameters
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks are rapidly gaining traction today. Although several real-world deployments exist, our preliminary analysis of LEO topology performance with the soon-to-be operational Inter-Satellite Links (ISLs) reveals several interesting characteristics that are difficult to explain based on our current understanding of topologies. For example, a real-world satellite shell with a low density of satellites offers better latency performance than another shell with near…

Integrated communications and localization (ICAL) will play an important part in future sixth generation (6G) networks for the realization of Internet of Everything (IoE) to support both global communications and seamless localization.

Soft Prompt Threats: Attacking Safety Alignment and Unlearning in Open-Source LLMs through the Embedding Space
Current research in adversarial robustness of LLMs focuses on discrete input manipulations in the natural language space, which can be directly transferred to closed-source models. However, this approach neglects the steady progression of open-source models. As open-source models advance in capability, ensuring their safety also becomes increasingly imperative. Yet, attacks tailored to open-source LLMs that exploit full model access remain largely unexplored. We address this research gap and pr…

On a coarse invertibility spectrum for coarse groups
We introduce a coarse algebraic invariant for coarse groups and use it to differentiate various coarsifications of the group of integers. This lets us answer two questions posed by Leitner and the second author. The invariant is obtained by considering the set of exponents n such that taking n-th powers defines a coarse equivalence of the coarse group.

Broadened-beam Uniform Rectangular Array Coefficient Design in LEO SatComs Under Quality of Service and Constant Modulus Constraints
Satellite communications (SatComs) are anticipated to provide global Internet access. Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites (SATs) have the advantage of providing higher downlink capacity owing to their smaller link budget compared with medium Earth orbit (MEO) and geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) SATs. In this paper, beam-broadening algorithms for uniform rectangular arrays (URAs) in LEO SatComs were studied. The proposed method is the first of its kind that jointly considers the path loss variation…

We characterise the minimum weight codewords of the $p$-ary linear code of intersecting lines in ${\rm PG}(3,q)$, $q=p^h$, $q\geq19$, $p$ prime, $h\geq 1$. If $q$ is even, the minimum weight equals $q^3+q^2+q+1$. If $q$ is odd, the minimum weight equals $q^3+2q^2+q+1$. For $q$ even, we also characterise the codewords of second smallest weight.

Analysis of an Adaptive Safeguarded Newton-Anderson Algorithm with Applications to Fluid Problems
The purpose of this paper is to develop a practical strategy to accelerate Newton's method in the vicinity of singular points. We do this by developing an adaptive safeguarding scheme, which we call gamma-safeguarding, that one can apply to Anderson accelerated Newton's method when solving problems near singular points. The key features of adaptive gamma-safeguarding are that it converges locally for singular problems, and it can detect nonsingular problems, in which case the Newton-Anderson it…

(Bear in mind that I only bring the zodiac as constellations, not for astrological purposes.)
Apart from the silliness of abscribing Earth’s solar system asterisms to characters not from other solar systems, but from A Galaxy Far, Far Away… should not Gemini at least be allocated to Luke and Leia, not Anakin?

Distributed Massive MIMO System with Dynamic Clustering in LEO Satellite Networks
Distributed massive multiple-input multiple output (mMIMO) system for low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks is introduced as a promising technique to provide broadband connectivity. Nevertheless, several challenges persist in implementing distributed mMIMO systems for LEO satellite networks. These challenges include providing scalable massive access implementation as the system complexity increases with network size. Another challenging issue is the asynchronous arrival of signals at the use…

Seeds of Stereotypes: A Large-Scale Textual Analysis of Race and Gender Associations with Diseases in Online Sources
Background Advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) hold transformative potential in healthcare, however, recent work has raised concern about the tendency of these models to produce outputs that display racial or gender biases. Although training data is a likely source of such biases, exploration of disease and demographic associations in text data at scale has been limited.

Expected Impact of Glints from Space Debris in the LSST
We examine the simple model put forth in a recent note by Loeb 2024 regarding the brightness of space debris in the size range of 1-10 cm and their impact on the Rubin Observatory LSST transient object searches. Their main conclusion was that "image contamination by untracked space debris might pose a bigger challenge [than large commercial satellite constellations in LEO]". Following corrections and improvements to this model, we calculate the apparent brightness of tumbling Low Earth Orbit (L…

Collaborative Ground-Space Communications via Evolutionary Multi-objective Deep Reinforcement Learning
In this paper, we propose a distributed collaborative beamforming (DCB)-based uplink communication paradigm for enabling ground-space direct communications. Specifically, DCB treats the terminals that are unable to establish efficient direct connections with the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites as distributed antennas, forming a virtual antenna array to enhance the terminal-to-satellite uplink achievable rates and durations. However, such systems need multiple trade-off policies that variously …
