This paper investigates the possibility of building the Energy Internet via a packetized management of non-industrial loads. The proposed solution is based on the cyber-physical implementation of energy packets where flexible loads send use…
Satellite communication is one of the key technologies that is enabling next-generation networks. However, nearest-satellite-supported downlink transmission may not meet a user's requirements due to limited signal strength, especially in…
This work evaluates the potential of High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites as alternative or complementary systems to enhance Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity. We first analyze the transmission…
The Mobile intermittent wireless connectivity limits the evolution of the mobile landscape, such that this progress coupled with the ubiquitous nature of the Internet and the web services. The web service Reliability achieves the low…
The subject of this paper is the long-standing open problem of developing a general capacity theory for wireless networks, particularly a theory capable of describing the fundamental performance limits of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). A…
The Internet of Things (IoT) [1] envisions the creation of an environment where everyday objects (e.g. microwaves, fridges, cars, coffee machines, etc.) are connected to the internet and make users' lives more convenient. It will also lead…
We propose the novel idea of interoperator fixed-mobile network sharing, which can be software-defined and readily-deployed. We study the benefits which the sharing brings in terms of resiliency, and show that, with the appropriate…
Direct-to-cell connectivity between satellites and common terrestrial handheld devices represents an essential feature of 6G. The industry is considering different type of constellations but using classical single satellite solutions based…
High-rate satellite communications among hundreds and even thousands of satellites deployed at low-Earth orbits (LEO) will be an important element of the forthcoming sixth-generation (6G) of wireless systems beyond 2030. With millimeter…
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite ISPs promise universal Internet connectivity, yet their interaction with content delivery remains poorly understood. We present the first comprehensive measurement study decomposing Starlink's web content…
In this paper, we investigate the issue of satellite-terrestrial computing in the sixth generation (6G) wireless networks, where multiple terrestrial base stations (BSs) and low earth orbit (LEO) satellites collaboratively provide edge…
The deployment of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites with terrestrial networks can potentially increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of relaying content from a data center to a set of edge caches hosted by 6G and beyond enabled macro…
We propose a novel multiple-access technique to overcome the shortcomings of the current proposals for the future releases of Long-Term Evolution (LTE). We provide a unified radio access system that efficiently and flexibly integrates both…
While thousands of satellites photograph Earth every day, most of that data never makes it to the ground because downlink bandwidth simply cannot keep up. Processing data in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) zone offers promising capabilities to…
Internet has shown itself to be a catalyst for economic growth and social equity but its potency is thwarted by the fact that the Internet is off limits for the vast majority of human beings. Mobile phones---the fastest growing technology…
The fifth generation of mobile networks (5G) represents the latest development in mobile communications. It has been designed to support several types of data traffic and to meet more challenging performance requirements than ever before.…
Direct handset-to-satellite (DHTS) communication is emerging as a core capability of 6G non-terrestrial networks, enabling standard devices to directly access low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. While LEO provides the physical access layer…
The Internet has made several giant leaps over the years, from a fixed to a mobile Internet, then to the Internet of Things, and now to a Tactile Internet. The Tactile Internet goes far beyond data, audio and video delivery over fixed and…
From 5G onwards, Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) have emerged as a key component of future network architectures. Leveraging Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, NTNs are capable of building a space Internet and present a…
The Internet of Things (IoT) incorporates multiple long-range, short-range, and personal area wireless networks and technologies into the designs of IoT applications. This enables numerous business opportunities in fields as diverse as…
