In this note, we consider the space of all continuous operators with respect to the unbounded topology on locally solid vector lattices. We investigate whether this space forms a band. In addition, we look into some situations under which,…
Device-to-device communication (D2D) is a key enabler for connecting devices together to form the Internet of Things (IoT). A growing issue with IoT networks is the increasing number of IoT devices congesting the spectral resources of the…
Machine-type communication (MTC) is the key technology to support data transfer among devices (sensors and actuators). Cellular communication technologies are developed mainly for "human-type" communications, while enabling MTC with…
In this paper, we consider a three node, two-way relay system with digital network coding over static channels where all link gains are assumed to be constant during transmission. The aim is to minimize total energy consumption while…
We address the user association problem in multi-tier in-band full-duplex (FD) networks. Specifically, we consider the case of decoupled user association (DUA) in which users (UEs) are not necessarily served by the same base station (BS)…
Un-manned aerial vehicle (UAVs) have the potential to change the landscape of wide-area wireless connectivity by bringing them to areas where connectivity was sparing or non-existent (e.g. rural areas) or has been compromised due to…
The communication networks in real world often couple with each other to save costs, which results in any network does not have a stand-alone function and efficiency. To investigate this, in this paper we propose a transportation model on…
