[Introduction] Millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology has been extensively studied for indoor short-range communications. In such fixed network applications, the emerging FTTR architecture allows mmWave technology to be well cascaded with in-room optical network terminals, supporting high-speed communication at rates over tens of Gb/s. In this FTTR-mmWave system, the severe signal attenuation over distance and high penetration loss through room walls are no longer bottlenecks for practical mmWave deployment. Instead, these properties create high spatial isolation, which prevents mutual interference between data streams and ensures information security. This paper surveys the promising integration of Fiber-to-the-Room (FTTR) and millimeter-wave (mmWave) access for next-generation indoor high-speed communications, with a particular focus on the Ultra-Converged Access Network (U-CAN) architecture. It is structured in two main parts: it first traces this new FTTR-mmWave architecture from the perspective of Wi-Fi and mmWave communication evolution, and then focuses specifically on the development of key mmWave chipsets for FTTR-mmW Wi-Fi applications. This work aims to provide a comprehensive reference for researchers working toward immersive, untethered indoor wireless experiences for users.

[Introduction]Open-set object detectors, as exemplified by Grounding DINO, have attracted significant attention due to their remarkable performance on in-domain datasets like Common Objects in Context (COCO) after only few-shot fine-tuning. However, their generalization capabilities in cross-domain scenarios remain substantially inferior to their in-domain few-shot performance. Prior work on fine-tuning Grounding DINO for cross-domain few-shot object detection has primarily focused on data augmentation, leaving broader systemic optimizations unexplored. To bridge this gap, we propose a comprehensive end-to-end fine-tuning framework specifically designed to optimize Grounding DINO for cross-domain few-shot scenarios. In addition, we propose Mixture-of-Experts (MoE)-Grounding DINO, a novel architecture that integrates the MoE architecture to enhance adaptability in cross-domain settings. Our approach demonstrates a significant 15.4 Mean Average Precision (mAP) improvement over the Grounding DINO baseline on the Roboflow20-VL benchmark, establishing a new state of the art for cross-domain few-shot object detection (CD-FSOD). The source code and models will be made available upon publication.
