In this paper, we investigate physical-layer security for a spectrum-sharing heterogeneous cellular network comprised of a macro cell and a small cell, where a passive eavesdropper is assumed to tap the transmissions of both the macro cell…
Satellites play a vital role in remote communication where traditional communication mediums struggle to provide benefits over associated costs and efficiency. In recent years, satellite communication has achieved utter interest in the…
Wireless communication highly depends on the cellular ground base station (GBS). A failure of the cellular GBS, fully or partially, during natural or man-made disasters creates a communication gap in the disaster-affected areas. In such…
This paper investigates movable antenna (MA) empowered secure transmission in near-field multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems, where the base station (BS) equipped with an MA array transmits confidential information…
Free Space Optics (FSO) communication provides attractive bandwidth enhancement with unlicensed bands worldwide spectrum. However, the link capacity and availability are the major concern in the different atmospheric conditions. The…
In this paper, a learning-aided content-based wireless image transmission scheme is proposed, where a multi-antenna-aided source wishes to securely deliver an image to a legitimate destination in the presence of randomly distributed…
Fast and reliable wireless communication has become a critical demand in human life. In the case of mission-critical (MC) scenarios, for instance, when natural disasters strike, providing ubiquitous connectivity becomes challenging by using…
In this letter, we study the secure communication problem in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) enabled networks aided by an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) from the physical-layer security perspective. Specifically, the IRS is deployed…
Aerial base stations (ABSs) allow smart farms to offload processing responsibility of complex tasks from internet of things (IoT) devices to ABSs. IoT devices have limited energy and computing resources, thus it is required to provide an…
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) base stations (BSs) can be a promising solution to provide connectivity and quality of service (QoS) guarantees during temporary events and after disasters. In this paper, we consider a scenario where UAV-BSs…
Autonomous Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), with a form factor of 10cm in diameter, are an emerging technology thanks to the broad applicability enabled by their onboard intelligence. However, these platforms are strongly limited in the…
Since there are a number of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications that need to collect data sets from a large number of sensors or devices in real-time, sensing and communication need to be integrated for efficient uploading from devices.…
In this work, a wireless broadcast network with a base station (BS) sending random time-sensitive information updates to multiple users with interference constraints is considered. The Age of Synchronization (AoS), namely the amount of time…
Low-latency message delivery is crucial for real-time systems. Data originating from a producer must be delivered to consumers, potentially distributed in clusters across metropolitan and continental boundaries. With the growing scale of…
This technical report presents the detailed implementation of a Collision Avoidance System (CAS) for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), developed as a case study to demonstrate a rigorous methodology for achieving DO-178C compliance in…
Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is a type of software service delivery model which encompasses a broad range of business opportunities and challenges. Users and service providers are reluctant to integrate their business into SaaS due to its…
Today's routing protocols critically rely on the assumption that the underlying hardware is trusted. Given the increasing number of attacks on network devices, and recent reports on hardware backdoors this assumption has become…
