With the unprecedented surge in demand for flexible deployment and ultra-high throughput in next-generation wireless networks, airborne base stations (ABS), particularly unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have become emerged as indispensable mobile communication infrastructure. To facilitate high-gain directional transmission within the millimeter-wave band, ABS frequently employ massive MIMO antenna arrays. However, under random disturbances caused by non-stationary turbulence, the system faces a severe physical bottleneck: weak anti-interference capability due to narrow beamwidth, which can easily lead to a sharp drop in link capacity. Addressing the two major shortcomings of existing deep learning prediction schemes—susceptibility to sensor noise interference and negative capacity performance shifts during stable periods, and response lag due to memory inertia during sudden turbulence periods—this paper proposes an ARET-ALSTM active compensation network based on SNR-aware multimodal attention, agile reset and adaptive event-triggered mechanisms. This network incorporates an event-triggered mechanism governed by a dynamic physical variance threshold, adaptively executing compensation during stable intervals to prevent excessive overshoot and redundant computational overhead. Simultaneously, it employs an agile feature reset mechanism based on an adaptive sliding window for concept drift detection, forcibly discarding old memories and reconstructing attention weights during sudden wind shear, achieving millisecond-level ultra-fast adaptation and directly driving network optimization with the goal of maximizing communication capacity. Simulation experiments show that, under different array configurations ranging from 2×2 to 16×16 and complex flow conditions, ARET-ALSTM successfully overcomes the physical capacity collapse limitation under large antenna scales, and its tracking agility and robustness are significantly better than benchmark algorithms such as Transformer, RNN and traditional Kalman filtering.
