Light Field Super-Resolution (LFSR) necessitates accurate modeling of spatial-angular correlations while preserving intrinsic 4D ray coherence. However, maintaining such high-dimensional consistency remains challenging, primarily due to two inherent limitations in prevailing modeling paradigms. First, spatial and angular dimensions are often modeled in a decoupled manner, restricting early cross-dimensional interaction and leading to geometric inconsistencies. Moreover, although continuous sequence modeling paradigms show promise in representing epipolar structures, their rigid scanning mechanisms fundamentally conflict with epipolar geometry, limiting geometry-aware feature aggregation. To address these challenges, we propose a hybrid light field super-resolution network, termed SMART, which integrates a Slope-Guided Mamba and an Angular-Refined Transformer to effectively overcome these limitations. Specifically, we introduce an angular-modulated spatial module to bridge the decoupling gap, incorporating angular priors to strengthen spatial-angular correlation modeling. To mitigate the scan-geometry mismatch, we propose a manifold-aligned trajectory module that enables geometry-consistent sequence modeling along epipolar structures. Experiments on five benchmarks demonstrate that SMART achieves state-of-the-art performance, surpassing previous methods by 0.42 dB (PSNR) with significantly reduced artifacts.

Non-terrestrial networks (NTN) provide ubiquitous connectivity for embodied intelligence (EI), enabling robots in wilderness to leverage cloud resources or report critical information to remote centers. However, the synergy is nontrivial due to the highly-dynamic, resource-constrained, topology-varying, and task-oriented environment. Existing memoryless NTN protocols become inefficient, since the decisions are driven by local channel conditions and instantaneous service demands. To address these limitations, this paper proposes the memory-native NTN (MemNTN) paradigm that leverages long-horizon contexts for memory augmented system optimization. To realize this paradigm shift, we establish a dual-memory architecture that distinguishes between physical memory representing the state of the world and digital memory encoding historical network experience. We develop memory acquisition, compression, valuation, update, and utilization mechanisms that facilitate cross-layer, memory-native decision-making, spanning from the physical and access layers up to the network and application layers. Experiments in satellite embodied question answering (SEQA) demonstrate that the proposed MemNTN significantly outperforms conventional stateless NTN and terrestrial approaches.
