Abstract

In this letter, we study the impact of the low-pass resistor-capacitor (RC) filter on radio frequency (RF) wireless power transfer (WPT). The RC filter influences both the RF bandwidth by removing the harmonics as well as the ripple voltage at the output of the rectifier. In particular, a large (small) RC time constant, reduces (increases) the ripple but decreases (enhances) the direct-current (DC) component. By following a Fourier series approach, we obtain closed-form expressions for the rectifier's output voltage, the RC filter's output as well as the DC voltage. Our analytical framework provides a complete characterization of the RC filter's impact on the WPT performance. We show that this complete and tractable analytical framework is suitable for the proper design of the RC filter in WPT systems.

Wireless Context Engineering for Efficient Mobile Agentic AI and Edge General Intelligence

Future wireless networks demand increasingly powerful intelligence to support sensing, communication, and autonomous decision-making. While scaling laws suggest improving performance by enlarging model capacity, practical edge deployments are fundamentally constrained by latency, energy, and memory, making unlimited model scaling infeasible. This creates a critical need to maximize the utility of limited inference-time inputs by filtering redundant observations and focusing on high-impact data. In large language models and generative artificial intelligence (AI), context engineering has emerged as a key paradigm to guide inference by selectively structuring and injecting task-relevant information. Inspired by this success, we extend context engineering to wireless systems, providing a systematic way to enhance edge AI performance without increasing model complexity. In dynamic environments, for example, beam prediction can benefit from augmenting instantaneous channel measurements with contextual cues such as user mobility trends or environment-aware propagation priors. We formally introduce wireless context engineering and propose a Wireless Context Communication Framework (WCCF) to adaptively orchestrate wireless context under inference-time constraints. This work provides researchers with a foundational perspective and practical design dimensions to manage the wireless context of wireless edge intelligence. An ISAC-enabled beam prediction case study illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed paradigm under constrained sensing budgets.

4D Fresnel Space-Time Modulation for Near-Field ELAA: Kinematic Multiplexing and O(N log N) Precoding at Sub-THz Frequencies

Extremely Large Antenna Arrays (ELAA) operating at sub-terahertz frequencies introduce a regime where near-field Fresnel propagation and high-mobility carrier Doppler interact simultaneously, creating a four-dimensional signal space that existing schemes exploit only partially. This paper proposes \textbf{4D Fresnel Space-Time Modulation (4D-FSM)}, a unified framework encoding information jointly across angle, depth, synthetic velocity, and QAM amplitude through a structured symbol manifold $\mathcal{S}$. Synthetic velocity is introduced via Space-Time Modulation (STM): a linear phase ramp $u(ξ,t) = \exp(j[Ωt + g_kξ])$ induces a Doppler-equivalent shift without physical motion, creating velocity-orthogonal bubbles that resolve co-located users. We derive the joint orthogonality surface governing simultaneous user separability in depth and velocity, revealing that users separated in depth require strictly less velocity separation to remain orthogonal -- a multiplexing gain with no counterpart in OTFS or LDMA. The Discrete Fresnel Transform (DFnT) factorization $\mathbf{H} = \mathbf{F}_D \mathbf{C}(z) \mathbf{P}$ reduces precoder complexity from $\mathcal{O}(N^3)$ to $\mathcal{O}(N\log N)$, completing within \SI{500}{\nano\second} against a \SI{5.4}{\micro\second} coherence window. Monte Carlo evaluation at $f_c = \SI{140}{\giga\hertz}$, $N = 4096$ confirms $ρ\approx 0.998$ across the full velocity range, \SI{6.16}{\bit\per\second\per\hertz} spectral efficiency where all baselines collapse, and $K_{\max} = 64$ orthogonal users -- a $248\times$ sum-rate advantage over TTD at $K = 50$.

Adaptive $c_2$-Perturbed AFDM Waveform Design for Integrated Sensing and Communication

Affine frequency division multiplexing (AFDM) is a promising waveform for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems owing to its superior performance in time--frequency doubly dispersive channels. However, AFDM still faces a pair of challenges: high PAPR and random data symbols produce imperfect autocorrelation sidelobes. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a real-time data-driven framework that optimizes the pre-chirp parameter $c_2$ to enhance the AFDM-ISAC performance. Specifically, a side-information-free optimization problem is formulated to reduce PAPR and the weighted integrated sidelobe levels of both aperiodic and periodic autocorrelation functions, with complexity comparable to that of the conventional AFDM receiver. Furthermore, an efficient non-monotone line-search spectral projected-gradient algorithm is developed by exploiting closed-form gradients. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a superior sensing vs. communications trade-off and is capable of striking a promoted bit error rate performance in the presence of severe power amplifier nonlinearity.
