Modern MIMO communication systems are almost exclusively designed under the assumption of locally plane wavefronts over antenna arrays. This is known as the far-field approximation and is soundly justified at sub-6-GHz frequencies at most…

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is expected to be natively supported by future 6G wireless radios, yet most mmWave sensing solutions still rely on dedicated radar hardware incompatible with cost and power constrained wireless…

Prior studies on mixed near-field and far-field communications have focused exclusively on single-cell scenarios, where both near-field and far-field users are served by the same base station (BS), leading to intra-cell mixed-field…
