Talk Title: Low-Altitude Wireless Networks: Architectures and Applications
Low-Altitude Wireless Networks (LAWN) integrate communication, sensing, and control functions to establish a reconfigurable three-dimensional air-ground cooperative architecture, enabling UAV swarms to operate safely, autonomously, and efficiently in harsh environments. This report explores several key aspects: constructing secure and covert UAV communication links under multiple eavesdropping and jamming threats through integrated sensing and communication technologies; optimizing LAWN deployment under stringent latency constraints to jointly achieve communication and control objectives; enhancing energy efficiency and link quality via aerodynamic formation coordination and distributed sensing; achieving high-precision synchronization, localization, and formation control in asynchronous and large-scale scenarios; and developing delay-Doppler domain waveforms and sensing techniques based on communication channel estimation for high-mobility environments. By deeply co-designing communication, sensing, and control, LAWN is poised to serve as a reliable, flexible, and sustainable aerial platform for the next generation of wireless networks.
