Infrared small target detection is crucial for military surveillance and autonomous driving. However, complex scenes and weak signal characteristics make the identification of such targets particularly difficult. This study proposes YOLO-SSFA, an enhanced You Only Look Once version 11 (YOLOv11) mode...

Deploying relay nodes in visible light communication (VLC) relieves the requirement of line-of-sight transmission and thus extends the service coverage of VLC systems. In this paper, we propose to employ physical-layer network coding (PNC) in the VLC system to increase its throughput by boosting the...
