Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications have been regarded as one of the most promising solutions to deliver ultra-high data rates in wireless local-area networks. A significant barrier to delivering consistently high rate performance is the rapid ...

The path loss models for urban and suburban scenarios play a key role since they provide RF power estimations that allow an optimized design and performance of the wireless network. Although different models of propagation can be found in the literature,...

Next-generation networks are envisioned to be empowered by artificial intelligence with predictive capabilities. Predicting handovers in high mobility scenarios enables networks and applications to adapt ahead of time to improve the Quality of Service (...

The ever-increasing densification of cellular base stations, combined with the use of active antenna systems, leads to concerns about human exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMF). From a regulatory point of view, adapting assessment ...

Fifth generation (5G) mobile networks do not solely support services with very high throughput, but also answer the requirements of other heterogeneous services, characterized by different Quality of Service (QoS) criteria such as maximum tolerated ...

In a variety of scenarios, from temporal events to emergencies, mobile cell also known as cell on wheels (COW) or cell on light truck (COLT) is considered as a widespread solution for temporarily increasing the capacity of the cellular networks. Flying ...

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) that make opportunistic use of licensed spectrum (also called Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks or CRAHNs) need to perform spectrum sensing (SS) to find an advantageous channel assignment. However, current SS methods for ...

IEEE 802.11ax introduces OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access), that allows multiple users to transmit or receive frames concurrently. The standard suggests that OFDMA will provide reduced latency and increased throughput in dense ...

Uncrewed aerial vehicle-mounted base stations (UAV-BS) have recently attracted significant attention in order to assist ground base stations (BSs) and provide Internet access to users. UAV-BSs benefit from their mobility nature in the air and are able ...

The Remote ID is a rule proposed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States to provide a safer environment for drones. It consists of broadcasting standard messages containing sensitive drone information, for instance, its ...

Fall detection is one of the main issues for the elder's health care systems because of its economic and social impact. Whereas the primary metric of such a system remains its accuracy in terms of good detection of falls and avoiding either false ...

Modeling Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) remains a challenge due to the complex behaviors of their interconnected components that operate in a physical environment. In this paper, we introduce a new modeling approach based on "SysReo" models, that relies ...

In this paper, we compare the end-user Quality of Experience (QoE) of two of the most popular streaming applications: Video on Demand (VoD) applications and Passive Video Game (PVG) streaming applications.

Previous studies have shown that in real-life ...

Intelligent and networked vehicles cooperate to create a mobile Cloud through vehicular Fog computing (VFC). Such Clouds rely heavily on the underlying vehicular networks, so estimating communication resilience allows to address the problems caused by ...

Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS) allows placing the control plane separately from the actual user plane executor. This allows deploying user plane instances closer to the end-user: traffic serving can be more effortless, and end-to-end latency ...

The purpose of this demo abstract is to present a pilot SmartSAT project, a customizable mobile web app for San Antonio Transit to make critical services available for transit users. SmartSAT app provides real-time bus arrivals, seat capacity ...
