Natural language (NL) navigation for low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offers an intelligent and convenient solution for low-altitude aerial services by enabling an intuitive interface for non-expert operators. However, deploying this capability in urban environments necessitates the precise grounding of underspecified instructions into safety-critical, dynamically feasible motion plans subject to spatiotemporal constraints. To address this challenge, we propose a unified framework that translates NL instructions into Signal Temporal Logic (STL) specifications and subsequently synthesizes trajectories via mixed-integer linear programming (MILP). Specifically, to generate executable STL formulas from free-form NL, we develop a reasoning-enhanced large language model (LLM) leveraging chain-of-thought (CoT) supervision and group-relative policy optimization (GRPO), which ensures high syntactic validity and semantic consistency. Furthermore, to resolve infeasibilities induced by stringent logical or spatial requirements, we introduce a specification repair mechanism. This module combines MILP-based diagnosis with LLM-guided semantic reasoning to selectively relax task constraints while strictly enforcing safety guarantees. Extensive simulations and real-world flight experiments demonstrate that the proposed closed-loop framework significantly improves NL-to-STL translation robustness, enabling safe, interpretable, and adaptable UAV navigation in complex scenarios.

Large AI models have been widely adopted in wireless communications for channel modeling, beamforming, and resource optimization. However, most existing efforts remain limited to single-modality inputs and channel-specific objec- tives, overlooking the broader potential of large foundation models for unified wireless sensing. To bridge this gap, we propose MMSense, a multi-modal, multi-task foundation model that jointly addresses channel-centric, environment-aware, and human-centered sensing. Our framework integrates image, radar, LiDAR, and textual data by transforming them into vision- compatible representations, enabling effective cross-modal align- ment within a unified feature space. A modality gating mecha- nism adaptively fuses these representations, while a vision-based large language model backbone enables unified feature align- ment and instruction-driven task adaptation. Furthermore, task- specific sequential attention and uncertainty-based loss weighting mechanisms enhance cross-task generalization. Experiments on real wireless scenario datasets show that our approach outper- forms both task-specific and large-model baselines, confirming its strong generalization across heterogeneous sensing tasks.

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has enabled agentic robots an appealing paradigm for various applications, such as research and rescue in complex environment. In this context, the next wireless communication technology facilitates robot cooperation for efficient environment sensing and exploration. However, traditional AI solutions cannot always provide reasonable resource utilization decisions, which makes it challenging to achieve both accurate and low-latency research and rescue. To address this issue, we propose a, LSAI, a large small AI model codesign framework to achieve highly accurate and real-time robot cooperation with deep interaction between large AI model and small AI model. We first propose an attention-based model aggregation for LAI construction. It can assist agentic robots in accurately sensing physical environments. Next, we design an adaptive model splitting and update algorithm to enable the robots to perform accurate path planning for high-efficiency environment sensing with low energy consumption. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed LSAI framework. The simulation results indicate that our solution achieves sensing accuracy of up to 20.4% while reducing sensing cooperation latency by an average of 17.9% compared to traditional AI solutions.

The emerging low-altitude economy has catalyzed the large-scale deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), driving a paradigm shift in environment monitoring, logistics, and emergency response. However, operating within these environments presents notable challenges as pervasive coverage holes, unpredictable interference, and spectrum scarcity. To this end, this article present a communication and control co-design framework to enable a resilient architecture for cellular-connected UAVs. Specifically, we first characterize typical service applications and their stringent performance requirements, followed by a comprehensive analysis of the unique challenges. To bridge the gap between volatile wireless links and rigid flight stability, a three layered architecture is proposed, integrating pre-flight strategic planning, in-flight adaptive action, and system-level resource orchestration. Furthermore, we detail the key enabling technologies for communication and control co-design. Preliminary case studies are proposed to validate that the co-design framework significantly improve the resilience of cellular-connected UAV systems, providing a robust foundation for the evolution of intelligent low-altitude networks.

The rapid development of the low-altitude economy emphasizes the critical need for effective perception and intent recognition of non-cooperative unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The advanced generative reasoning capabilities of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) present a promising approach in such tasks. In this paper, we focus on the combination of UAV intent recognition and the MLLMs. Specifically, we first present an MLLM-enabled UAV intent recognition architecture, where the multimodal perception system is utilized to obtain real-time payload and motion information of UAVs, generating structured input information, and MLLM outputs intent recognition results by incorporating environmental information, prior knowledge, and tactical preferences. Subsequently, we review the related work and demonstrate their progress within the proposed architecture. Then, a use case for low-altitude confrontation is conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of our architecture and offer valuable insights for practical system design. Finally, the future challenges are discussed, followed by corresponding strategic recommendations for further applications.

Research on the sixth generation cellular networks (6G) is gaining huge momentum to achieve ubiquitous wireless connectivity. Connected autonomous driving (CAV) is a critical vertical envisioned for 6G, holding great potentials of improving road safety, road and energy efficiency. However the stringent service requirements of CAV applications on reliability, latency and high speed communications will present big challenges to 6G networks. New channel access algorithms and intelligent control schemes for connected vehicles are needed for 6G supported CAV. In this paper, we investigated 6G supported cooperative driving, which is an advanced driving mode through information sharing and driving coordination. Firstly we quantify the delay upper bounds of 6G vehicle to vehicle (V2V) communications with hybrid communication and channel access technologies. A deep learning neural network is developed and trained for fast computation of the delay bounds in real time operations. Then, an intelligent strategy is designed to control the inter-vehicle distance for cooperative autonomous driving. Furthermore, we propose a Markov Chain based algorithm to predict the parameters of the system states, and also a safe distance mapping method to enable smooth vehicular speed changes. The proposed algorithms are implemented in the AirSim autonomous driving platform. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms are effective and robust with safe and stable cooperative autonomous driving, which greatly improve the road safety, capacity and efficiency.
