Nevertheless, unique vehicular network features, namely, high mobility as well as frequent communication interruptions, make content delivery to end users under strict delay constraints very problematic. The Taylor Flamingo Shark Optimization (TFSO) method is introduced to address the limitations of existing caching and routing strategies in VSN under real-time traffic conditions. With the amalgamation of FSA and WSO with the Taylor series, TFSO provides a powerful tool for accurate, delay-aware, and mobility-sensitive content caching, thereby improving content delivery efficiency in VSNs. The proposed optimization-based traffic-aware content caching is implemented using several stages. Initially, the shortest path with the vehicular content provider is found based on the proposed hybrid Flamingo Shark Optimization (FSO). The FSO is devised by using the Flamingo Search Algorithm (FSA) as well as White Shark Optimization (WSO). Subsequently, traffic-aware content recommendations are carried out based on conditional likelihood probability. Additionally, the vehicular distribution managed by the content provider is optimized across the network by using the proposed TFSO, which is devised using the proposed FSO along with the Taylor series concept. Moreover, the effectiveness of the developed TFSO approach is assessed by leveraging metrics including computational cost, delivery delay, and delivery rate. The computational cost recorded value is 1.057, which shows that the algorithm operates with low computational overhead; the delivery delay of TFSO is 0.611 s, which indicates that the system required less time to deliver content to end users in high-mobility scenarios; and the delivery rate is 85.996, which reflects the high success rate of content delivery across the network using 2000 rounds with 150 vehicles.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":13946,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Communication Systems","volume":"38 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144687901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High data transfer is necessary for wireless communication in modern technologies. After 5G, the next generation of wireless technology is called 6G (sixth-generation wireless). Because 6G networks may run at greater frequencies than 5G networks, their capacity and latency will be significantly increased. Allowing communications with a latency of 1 μs is one of the objectives of the 6G internet. This paper introduces a compact and highly efficient sunshine-slotted MIMO antenna designed for 6G and wireless applications. The antenna features a sun-shaped patch and a partial ground layer to improve its overall performance. The proposed antenna operates across 3.6, 4.5, 5.2, and 6.2 THz, respectively, which are used for wireless communication systems. This work presents a MIMO antenna constructed with a low reflection coefficient value of −34, −38, −18, and −23 dB, with an insertion loss of less than −30 dB over the operational frequency. In addition to this, the antenna has a gain value of 8.5–9.2 dBi. The proposed MIMO antenna also has a minimum ECC value of < 0.01; similarly, across the operating frequency, the antenna has a DG value range of 10–11 dB respectively. The proposed antenna has dimensions of 33 × 33 × 100 μm<sup>3</sup> using graphene as a conducting layer and silicon as a substrate layer.

An integral sliding manifold (ISM) is designed to address the effect of disturbances and ensure the desired dynamic performance of the system. We establish an event-triggered mechanism (ETM) with an exponential decay rate to conserve the limited communication resources. Then, a uniform quantizer is added to quantify the triggered state signals to lessen the network transmission burden caused by the digital network. Combining the designed ETM with a static uniform quantizer, the quantized trigger state signals are sent to decoders through the digital network to construct a quantized ISM. Subsequently, an event-triggered integral sliding-mode controller under quantization technology is developed to ensure the asymptotic average consensus of networked MASs. By testifying that every network agent has a lower positive bound, the viability of the proposed ETM is demonstrated, thereby ensuring the absence of Zeno behavior. Eventually, two simulation examples are proffered to confirm the efficacy of the quantization feedback-based event-triggered SMC methodology.","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"144 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144700999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This complexity poses challenges in finding optimal subsets of features efficiently. To address this issue, this paper proposes a frequent pattern-based coevolutionary framework for solving MCSFS problems. Specifically, the algorithm starts by generating a main population for multi-component spectral feature selection and multiple auxiliary populations for single-component spectral feature selection. Furthermore, it introduces a frequent pattern mining strategy to identify dynamic superior feature combinations and their updated weights in each population, dealing with the complexity of variables to accelerate the search for effective features. The proposed coevolutionary framework facilitates interactions between populations by sharing the identified feature combinations and offspring information, leading to the acquisition of high-quality feature selection results.

Our method transfers fine details from the original image and preserve the identity of its parts. Yet, it adapts it to the lighting and context defined by the new layout. Our key insight is that videos are a powerful source of supervision for this task: objects and camera motions provide many observations of how the world changes with viewpoint, lighting, and physical interactions. We construct an image dataset in which each sample is a pair of source and target frames extracted from the same video at randomly chosen time intervals. We warp the source frame toward the target using two motion models that mimic the expected test-time user edits. We supervise our model to translate the warped image into the ground truth, starting from a pretrained diffusion model. Our model design explicitly enables fine detail transfer from the source frame to the generated image, while closely following the user-specified layout. We show that by using simple segmentations and coarse 2D manipulations, we can synthesize a photorealistic edit faithful to the user’s input while addressing second-order effects like harmonizing the lighting and physical interactions between edited objects.
