The deep integration of 5G/6G with the digital economy has driven ubiquitous expansion of emerging networks—mobile internet, industrial IoT, satellite internet, vehicular networks, and low-altitude intelligent networks—into space-air-ground-sea domains. To meet the demands of pervasive intelligent IoT in integrated scenarios, communication systems must transcend traditional terrestrial boundaries and establish multidimensional architectures spanning deep space, aerial, terrestrial, and maritime environments. In emerging fields such as smart grid digitization, aerospace vehicle networking, and maritime energy IoT, multimodal communications—integrating radio frequency/optical/acoustic transmission, integrated sensing, communication, and computation (ISAC), and semantic communication—are redefining information exchange paradigms for intelligent power system maintenance, low-altitude traffic management, and marine resource exploitation. Current challenges include cross-domain coordination (e.g., dynamic spectrum adaptation, heterogeneous protocol interoperability, and edge-cloud resource orchestration), necessitating an innovation ecosystem combining self-organizing networks, intelligent coding, edge AI, and hardware acceleration. This work focuses on multimodal communication advancements in vertical domains (e.g., power systems, aerospace, marine development), aiming to advance dynamic reconfiguration of smart grids, space-air-ground intelligent communication control, and autonomous coordination in UAV self-organizing networks. By developing software-defined radio (SDR)-compatible platforms with intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) and hybrid multimodal wireless transmission, we accelerate the engineering application of multimodal technologies in strategic areas such as next-generation power systems, low-altitude economy, and deep-space exploration.
