Fluid Antennas (FAs)-assisted Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) networks leverage the FA position adaptivity and flexible beamforming to overcome the limitations of Fixed-Positioned Antennas (FPAs) in dynamic UAV channels and Multi-User (MU) interference. This letter investigates a dual FA-assisted UAV network for MU-Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) downlink communications, aiming to maximize the average achievable rate through the joint optimization of UAV trajectory, the transmit/receive FA positions, and beamforming. The formulated problem is highly coupled and non-convex. Accordingly, an efficient Alternating Optimization (AO)-based algorithm is developed for decomposed subproblems, yielding a suboptimal solution. Numerical results demonstrate significant performance gains of 120% and 110% over conventional FPA-based and existing FA-based baselines, respectively.
Ensuring reliable communication for mission-critical vehicles in dynamic environments with limited infrastructure is a significant challenge due to interference and spectrum scarcity. This paper investigates a UAV-assisted vehicular communication framework that leverages multi-an…
Conventional pinching antenna (PA)-assisted integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) architectures typically assume static receiver locations or predetermined receive waveguides, thereby underutilizing the inherent spatial degrees of freedom. This paper proposes a novel mode-s…
Continuous fluid antenna systems (CFASs) represent an upper bound on the spatial diversity performance of fluid antenna systems (FASs), achieved when antennas may be positioned anywhere within a defined spatial region. This article examines the fundamental relationships governing…
