We propose an attention-based networks for transferring motions between arbitrary objects. Given a source image(s) and a driving video, our networks animate the subject in the source images according to the motion in the driving video. In…
This paper investigates the problem of information transmission over the simultaneous relay channel with two users (or two possible channel outcomes) where for one of them the more suitable strategy is Decode-and-Forward (DF) while for the…
This paper applies Information Theoretic analysis to packet-based random multiple access communication systems. A new channel coding approach is proposed for coding within each data packet with built-in support for bursty traffic…
The huge research interest in cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communications in recent days is attributed to their ability to schedule multiple access more efficiently as compared to its predecessor technology, i.e., dedicated…
Visible light communication (VLC), which uses LEDs for both illumination and communication purposes, has recently emerged as either an alternative or a support system for radio frequency (RF) communication. VLC channel inside a room is…
Given a connected region in two-dimensional space where events of a certain kind occur according to a certain time-varying density, we consider the problem of setting up a network of autonomous mobile agents to detect the occurrence of…
We investigate the relay selection problem for a decode and forward collaborative network. Users are able to collaborate; decode messages of each other, re-encode and forward along with their own messages. We study the performance obtained…
The coupling of scale-free networks with mobile unstructured networks is certainly unusual. In mobile networks, connections active at a given instant are constrained by the geographical distribution of mobile nodes, and by the limited…
Dynamic replication is a wide-spread multi-copy routing approach for efficiently coping with the intermittent connectivity in mobile opportunistic networks. According to it, a node forwards a message replica to an encountered node based on…
In this paper, a novel proximity and load-aware resource allocation for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is proposed. The proposed approach exploits the spatio-temporal traffic patterns, in terms of load and vehicles' physical…

The point process is a solid framework to model sequential data, such as videos, by exploring the underlying relevance. As a challenging problem for high-level video understanding, weakly supervised action recognition and localization in…
This work considers distributed sensing and transmission of sporadic random samples. Lower bounds are derived for the reconstruction error of a single normally or uniformly-distributed finite-dimensional vector imperfectly measured by a…
Nowadays, routing proposals must deal with a panoply of heterogeneous devices, intermittent connectivity, and the users' constant need for communication, even in rather challenging networking scenarios. Thus, we propose a Social-aware…
We study the trade-off between delivery delay and energy consumption in a delay tolerant network in which a message (or a file) has to be delivered to each of several destinations by epidemic relaying. In addition to the destinations, there…
The miniaturisation of computing devices has seen computing devices become increasingly pervasive in society. With this increased pervasiveness, the technologies of small computing devices have also improved. Mobile devices are now capable…
This paper presents a decentralized relay selection protocol for a dense wireless network and describes channel feedback strategies that improve its performance. The proposed selection protocol supports hybrid automatic-repeat-request…
In this work we consider the problem of mobile robots that need to manipulate/transport an object via cables or robotic arms. We consider the scenario where the number of manipulating robots is redundant, i.e. a desired object configuration…
This paper introduces a wireless communication protocol for industrial control systems that uses channel quality awareness to dynamically create network-device cooperation and assist the nodes in momentary poor channel conditions. To that…
