Subsequently, we innovatively utilize low-dimensional embeddings to facilitate information sharing among agents, significantly reducing cooperation complexity by up to 94% while enhancing privacy protection. This breaks traditional cooperative paradigms that rely on wireless channels. Moreover, we further introduce dataset distillation to enhance training efficiency by synthesizing elite data instead of directly utilizing raw datasets.

However, existing methods often suffer from accumulated prediction errors and poor generalization to dynamic wireless environments, making it challenging to maintain high prediction accuracy. Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable modeling and generalization capabilities in tasks such as time series prediction, making them a promising solution. Nevertheless, a significant modality gap exists between the linguistic knowledge embedded in pretrained LLMs and the intrinsic characteristics of CSI, posing substantial challenges for their direct application to channel prediction. Moreover, the large parameter size of LLMs hinders their practical deployment in real-world communication systems with stringent latency constraints. To address these challenges, we propose a novel channel prediction framework based on semantically aligned large models, referred to as CSI-ALM, which bridges the modality gap between natural language and channel information. Specifically, we design a cross-modal fusion module that aligns CSI representations with the language feature space using a pretrained corpus. Additionally, we maximize the cosine similarity between word embeddings and CSI embeddings to construct semantic cues, effectively leveraging the latent knowledge in LLMs. To reduce complexity and enable practical implementation, we further introduce a lightweight version of the proposed approach, called CSI-ALM-Light. This variant is derived via a knowledge distillation strategy based on attention matrices, which extracts essential features from the teacher model, CSI-ALM, and transfers them to a compact, efficient student model, CSI-ALM-Light. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that CSI-ALM consistently outperforms state-of-the-art deep learning methods across various communication scenarios, achieving substantial performance gains. Moreover, under limited training data conditions—where all models are trained using only 10% of the original training dataset—CSI-ALM-Light, with only 0.34M parameters, attains performance comparable to CSI-ALM and significantly outperforms conventional deep learning approaches. These validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for accurate and efficient channel prediction in m-MIMO systems.","PeriodicalId":73294,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal on selected areas in communications : a publication of the IEEE Communications Society","volume":"44 ","pages":"3382-3396"},"PeriodicalIF":17.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145812977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first derive closed-form expressions for the detection error probability (DEP) at the wardens. Then, we formulate a total energy consumption minimization problem by optimizing communication, sensing, and computation resources as well as UAV trajectories, subject to the requirements on the quality of MEC services, DEP, and the radar signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio, and the causality constraints of UAV trajectories. An alternating optimization-based algorithm is proposed to handle the considered problem, which decomposes it into two subproblems: joint optimization of communication, sensing, and computation resources, and UAV trajectory optimization.

However, the learning-empowered algorithms in task-oriented communication may lead to information leakage on sensitive attributes and cause discrimination towards specific groups, resulting in fairness issues in social equity. Meanwhile, directly adopting fair representation learning techniques in the source encoder of communication systems poses significant challenges: First, the favorable fairness-utility tradeoff in the encoded feature representations would be deteriorated by channel noise and dynamic variations. Second, the inherent separation of source and channel design precludes the efficiency offered by JSCC for end-to-end transmission. To address these issues, we propose a task-oriented JSCC communication scheme, namely Fair-RIB, that achieves efficient encoding and inference while preserving group fairness. Our approach leverages an information bottleneck-based framework that maximizes the task utility information while limiting the sensitive information leakage to ensure fairness, and adopts a hypernetwork-parametrization mechanism to adapt to varying channel conditions. We also provide theoretical bounds for fairness guarantees by fully exploiting the characteristics of the channel noise, and introduce a selective noise injection mechanism to better manage the fairness-utility tradeoff. To overcome the intractability of the high-dimensional mutual information terms, we adopt variational approximations to derive a tractable upper bound for objective optimization. Experiments on benchmark tabular and image datasets demonstrate the superiority of our framework in achieving a fairness-utility tradeoff and the adaptability to channel variations.","PeriodicalId":73294,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal on selected areas in communications : a publication of the IEEE Communications Society","volume":"44 ","pages":"2086-2101"},"PeriodicalIF":17.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145613487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Covert communication that achieves intrinsic protection by concealing transmission behavior has become an ideal solution. This work studies a downlink covert satellite communication scenario under signal overlay. Existing research mostly carries out optimizations in the power domain. However, since waveforms serve as the physical carriers of information, their design critically impacts the covert communication performance via different adjustability to channel state information (CSI). Specifically, blindly enhancing demodulation reliability does not necessarily lead to better covert capacity and may even be counterproductive. OFDM is vulnerable to carrier frequency offset, while OTFS lacks the flexibility to accommodate CSI, resulting in difficulties applying existing candidate waveforms. In light of this, we propose a nimble waveform named orthogonal fractional dual index multiplexing (OFDIM) tolerant of fractional delay and Doppler. It enables common modulation schemes through integer indices and creates a fractional domain resilient to CSI. The closed-forms of the maximum covert transmit power, reliability, and spectral efficiency are derived. Fractional indices are optimized to improve the performance based on CSI. Simulations validate the theoretical analysis and demonstrate the benefits of the fractional domain in covert communication. Additionally, OFDIM incorporates a complementary security mechanism where the indices can act as dynamic ciphers and guarantee certain security even if the communication behavior is exposed.","PeriodicalId":73294,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal on selected areas in communications : a publication of the IEEE Communications Society","volume":"44 ","pages":"1751-1764"},"PeriodicalIF":17.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145665015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To enhance the covert communication, a multi-antenna jammer probabilistically transmits jamming signals to degrade Willie’s detection performance. For this system, we formulate the covert communication problem as an optimization framework which maximizes the received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at Bob while ensuring covertness constraints, by jointly optimizing the beamforming vectors at Alice and the jammer, the jamming probability, and the relay’s amplification factor. To address this non-convex optimization problem, we first derive Willie’s detection error probabilities for both transmission phases. Next, we analytically determine Willie’s optimal detection threshold and minimum detection error probability by examining their monotonicity and extremal properties. Then, we transform the original problem into a tractable convex form based on these analytical results.
