In a previous paper, we have shown that a recurrent neural network (RNN) can be used to detect cellular network radio signal degradations accurately. We unexpectedly found, though, that accuracy gains diminished as we added layers to the…

We measure the radio luminosity function (RLF) of steep-spectrum radio sources using three redshift surveys of flux-limited samples selected at low (151 & 178 MHz) radio frequency, low-frequency source counts and the local RLF. The redshift…
It's widely perceived that Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) cannot increase Degrees of Freedom (DoF) due to their relay nature. A notable exception is Jiang \& Yu's work. They demonstrate via simulation that in an ideal $K$-user…
In cellular networks, inter-cell interference management has been studied for decades, yet its real-world effectiveness remains under-explored. To bridge this gap, we conduct a first measurement study of inter-cell interference for…
