In this work, we study the epidemic SIR model on a system which takes into consideration face-to-face interaction networks. This approach has been used as prototype to describe people interactions in different kinds of social organizations…
This comprehensive survey examines how Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) revolutionize resource allocation in various network frameworks. It begins by establishing a theoretical foundation with an overview of RIS technologies,…
A dynamic model of a society is studied where each person is an uncorrelated and non-interacting random walker. A dynamical random graph represents the acquaintance network of the society whose nodes are the individuals and links are the…
A measure of privacy infringement for agents (or participants) travelling across a transportation network in participatory-sensing schemes for traffic estimation is introduced. The measure is defined to be the conditional probability that…
Usage of mobile wireless Internet has grown very fast in recent years. This radical change in availability of Internet has led to communication of big amount of data over mobile networks and consequently new challenges and opportunities for…
In this paper, we propose a novel framework that aims to jointly design the reflection coefficients of multiple RISs and the precoding strategy of a single BS to optimize the self-tracking of the position and the velocity of a single…
The concept of large intelligent surface (LIS)-based communication has recently attracted increasing research attention, where a LIS is considered as an antenna array whose entire surface area is available for radio signal transmission and…
Studies using massive, passively data collected from communication technologies have revealed many ubiquitous aspects of social networks, helping us understand and model social media, information diffusion, and organizational dynamics. More…
Shared mobility redefines urban transportation, offering economic and environmental benefits by reducing pollution and urban congestion. However, in the post-pandemic era, the shared mobility sector is grappling with a crisis of trust,…
Social networks are an important infrastructure for information, viruses and innovations propagation. Since users behavior has influenced by other users activity, some groups of people would be made regard to similarity of users interests.…
In this paper, we investigate the performance of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted large-scale network by characterizing the coverage probability and the average achievable rate using stochastic geometry. Considering the…
We live in a world increasingly dominated by networks -- communications, social, information, biological etc. A central attribute of many of these networks is that they are dynamic, that is, they exhibit structural changes over time. While…
As an increasing amount of research is being done on various applications of sensor networks in adversarial environments, ensuring secure routing becomes of critical importance for the success of such deployments. The problem of designing a…
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) are currently considered for adoption in future 6G stantards. ETSI and 3GPP have started feasibility and performance investigations of such a technology. This work proposes an analytical model to…
Enabling socially acceptable behavior for situated agents is a major goal of recent robotics research. Robots should not only operate safely around humans, but also abide by complex social norms. A key challenge for developing…
A novel framework for covert communications aided by Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) is proposed. In this general framework, the use of multiport network theory for modelling the RIS consider various aspects that traditional RIS…
The integration of advanced localization techniques in the upcoming next generation networks (B5G/6G) is becoming increasingly important for many use cases comprising contact tracing, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, etc. Therefore,…
The current Internet design is not capable to support communications in environments characterized by very long delays and frequent network partitions. To allow devices to communicate in such environments, delay-tolerant networking…
The physical environment you navigate strongly determines which communities and people matter most to individuals. These effects drive both personal access to opportunities and the social capital of communities, and can often be observed in…
In location-based social networks (LBSNs), users sense urban point-of-interest (PoI) information in the vicinity and share such information with friends in online social networks. Given users' limited social connections and severe lags in…
