Wireless communication systems are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated jamming attacks with the rapid evolution of jamming technologies and advanced signal processing techniques. While traditional anti-jamming techniques offer limited performance gains, active reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have emerged as a promising channel-domain solution for improving resilience against jamming. Nonetheless, existing studies often rely on simplified electromagnetic (EM) models that do not fully capture mutual coupling (MC) and impedance mismatches in RIS hardware. In this paper, we propose an EM-compliant active (EMC-Active) RIS model for anti-jamming systems, explicitly incorporating the EM and physical properties at active RIS, such as MC effects, channel correlation, and discrete phase. To evaluate the anti-jamming performance of the proposed EMC-Active RIS, we develop a low-complexity alternating optimization (AO) algorithm based on the decoupling architecture (DA) to maximize the ergodic achievable rate. By leveraging the DA to explicitly eliminate MC effects among REs, the original coupled system is transformed into a tractable and scalable uncoupled representation. Numerical results demonstrate that the DA-based AO algorithm can significantly reduce the modeling and optimization complexity and efficiently solve the problem in an alternating manner with substantially reduced iteration overhead.

Wireless resource allocation in digital-twin-enabled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms must be both network-feasible and certifiably safe for closed-loop control. Existing packet-level or scalar-priority schedulers cannot meaningfully compare heterogeneous multi-hop actions that differ simultaneously in route, retransmission depth, blocklength, bidirectional delay, delivery probability, and TDMA slot cost. This paper introduces a certificate-guided resource allocation framework for low-altitude multi-hop UAV swarms. A digital twin maps predicted topology, channel, route, and controller-side state into a shared five-dimensional quality-of-service (QoS) certificate comprising uplink/downlink delay bounds, directional delivery guarantees, and a certified upper bound on the interval between successful bidirectional interactions. A state-conditioned stochastic drift test then admits only certificates whose augmented Lyapunov drift is nonpositive under the current controller state. Admitted actions are reduced to certified supply frontiers by removing dominated route-slot configurations, and the online scheduler maximizes Lyapunov-drift reduction under a shared TDMA slot budget via exact dynamic programming. Closed-loop ns-3 simulations demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms fixed-service, certificate-filtered fixed-priority, dynamic-transmission-count, and value-of-information baselines in both tracking accuracy and high-risk state suppression under identical communication budgets.

Fake news detection has been a long-standing research focus in social networks. Recent studies suggest that incorporating sentiment information from both news content and user comments can enhance detection performance. However, existing approaches typically treat sentiment features as auxiliary signals, overlooking role differentiation, that is, the same sentiment polarity may originate from users with distinct roles, thereby limiting their ability to capture nuanced patterns for effective detection. To address this issue, we propose SARC, a Sentiment-Augmented Role Clustering framework which utilizes sentiment-enhanced deep clustering to identify user roles for improved fake news detection. The framework first generates user features through joint comment text representation (with BiGRU and Attention mechanism) and sentiment encoding. It then constructs a differentiable deep clustering module to automatically categorize user roles. Finally, unlike existing approaches which take fake news label as the unique supervision signal, we propose a joint optimization objective integrating role clustering and fake news detection to further improve the model performance. Experimental results on two benchmark datasets, RumourEval-19 and Weibo-comp, demonstrate that SARC achieves superior performance across all metrics compared to baseline models.

The vast adoption of Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth capabilities in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, along with the rapid growth of deployed smart devices, has caused significant interference and congestion in the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) bands. Traditional Wi-Fi Medium Access Control (MAC) design faces significant challenges in managing increasingly complex wireless environments while ensuring network Quality of Service (QoS) performance. This paper explores the potential integration of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods into the design of Wi-Fi MAC protocols. We propose AI-MAC, an innovative approach that employs machine learning algorithms to dynamically adapt to changing network conditions, optimize channel access, mitigate interference, and ensure deterministic latency. By intelligently predicting and managing interference, AI-MAC aims to provide a robust solution for next generation of Wi-Fi networks, enabling seamless connectivity and enhanced QoS. Our experimental results demonstrate that AI-MAC significantly reduces both interference and latency, paving the way for more reliable and efficient wireless communications in the increasingly crowded ISM band.

To support mission-critical services in emergency scenarios, wireless networks are required to provide stringent guarantees under massive Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (mURLLC) constraints. Distributed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architectures have recently emerged as a promising solution for rapidly deployable emergency communication systems. However, how to fundamentally characterize and guarantee statistical quality-of-service (QoS) for such systems in the finite blocklength regime remains largely unexplored. To overcome these challenges, in this paper we develop a fundamental analytical framework for delay and reliability bounded QoS guarantees in distributed UAV-based massive MIMO emergency networks under finite blocklength coding (FBC). By rigorously modeling the stochastic service process of distributed massive MIMO fading channels, we derive statistical characterizations the delay and error-rate bounded QoS exponents. We also establish QoS-driven controlling functions, including the $ε$-effective capacity and the feasible QoS region. Finally, the obtained simulation results validate and evaluate our developed modeling techniques and asymptotic formulations to support mURLLC.

The exponential growth of wireless devices and stringent reliability requirements of emerging applications demand fundamental improvements in distributed channel access mechanisms for unlicensed bands. Current Wi-Fi systems, which rely on binary exponential backoff (BEB), suffer from suboptimal collision resolution in dense deployments and persistent fairness challenges due to inherent randomness. This paper introduces a multi-agent reinforcement learning framework that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) optimization with legacy device coexistence. We first develop a dynamic backoff selection mechanism that adapts to real-time channel conditions through access deferral events while maintaining full compatibility with conventional CSMA/CA operations. Second, we introduce a fairness quantification metric aligned with enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) principles to ensure equitable medium access opportunities. Finally, we propose a centralized training decentralized execution (CTDE) architecture incorporating neighborhood activity patterns as observational inputs, optimized via constrained multi-agent proximal policy optimization (MAPPO) to jointly minimize collisions and guarantee fairness. Experimental results demonstrate that our solution significantly reduces collision probability compared to conventional BEB while preserving backward compatibility with commercial Wi-Fi devices. The proposed fairness metric effectively eliminates starvation risks in heterogeneous scenarios.
