To address the above issue, this letter investigates the uplink outage probability in cooperative communication between the autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV) and intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) using the full-duplex multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique. First, for non-static MIMO scenarios, we develop a joint effect model by jointly considering the self-interference, co-channel interference and noise, aiming to maximize channel gain. Next, we derive a closed-form expression for the uplink outage probability by employing the Laplace transform of the interference. To reduce complexity, an approximate expression for the uplink outage probability is proposed according to a dynamic truncation criterion. Based on this, we derive a theoretical upper bound for the approximation error. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the outage probability compared to state-of-the-art schemes, with the approximate solution showing less than 6% error and requiring only 7% of the computational time of the closed-form solution. Additionally, the impact of transmission power, antenna configurations, and retained higher-order terms on the outage probability is thoroughly analyzed.","PeriodicalId":13197,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Letters","volume":"29 9","pages":"2068-2072"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145100368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this letter, we investigate a downlink NOMA system empowered by MA, which is used to adjust channel strength of NOMA users. The aim is to minimize total transmit power of base station (BS) through jointly optimizing power allocation and antenna position. To simplify the optimization problem, the relation between each user’s required power and MA position is first derived in closed-form solution. Subsequently, a multi-directional descent (MDD) algorithm is invoked to determine locally optimal MA position for the non-convex problem. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed MA-enhanced NOMA scheme outperforms both the fixed-position antenna (FPA) system and the traditional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) system significantly.","PeriodicalId":13197,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Letters","volume":"29 9","pages":"2058-2062"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145100492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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 study refines the standard ITU refractivity model through a region-specific correction and subsequently develops a multiple linear regression (MLR) framework to adapt the model using real meteorological data. The MLR model evaluates predictor significance, addresses multicollinearity, and applies statistical criteria to produce a localized refractivity estimate. To address residual nonlinear patterns not captured by MLR, a machine learning (ML) model is trained on the residuals and integrated with the statistical output to form a hybrid prediction. The region-specific (RS) model shows a systematic deviation from the ITU-based modified refractivity profile, with a mean difference of 4.67 M-units, a standard deviation of 3.49 M-units, and an RMSE of 5.83 M-units. These differences suggest that the ITU profile does not adequately represent local atmospheric conditions. Furthermore, the hybrid model reduces residual error relative to MLR alone. The results highlight the importance of incorporating RS adjustments and data-driven methods in modeling atmospheric ducts for propagation analysis.","PeriodicalId":13197,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Letters","volume":"29 9","pages":"2048-2052"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145100494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
