Modern networks achieve robustness and scalability by maintaining states on their nodes. These nodes are referred to as middleboxes and are essential for network functionality. However, the presence of middleboxes drastically complicates…
In this work, we propose a cross-layer framework for optimizing user association, packet offloading rates, and bandwidth allocation for Mission-Critical Internet-of-Things (MC-IoT) services with short packets in Mobile Edge Computing (MEC)…
The use of mobile platforms (MPs) is particularly attractive for various industrial applications. This demonstration highlights the importance of remote control of MPs and shows its viability over a high-performance wireless solution…
This paper addresses the problem of the communication of optimally compressed information for mobile robot path-planning. In this context, mobile robots compress their current local maps to assist another robot in reaching a target in an…
On-device fine-tuning is a critical capability for edge AI systems, which must support adaptation to different agentic tasks under stringent memory constraints. Conventional backpropagation (BP)-based training requires storing layer…
Virtually all of the rapidly increasing data traffic consumed by mobile users requires some kind of processing, normally performed at cloud servers. A recent thrust, {\em mobile edge computing}, moves such processing to servers {\em within}…
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) has become the perfect messaging protocol for IoT (Internet of Things) systems since it is the lightest protocol designed for low bandwidth, high-latency, unreliable networks. Today, the strategy…
Existing mobile devices have the capability to use multiple network technologies simultaneously to help increase performance; but they rarely, if at all, effectively use these technologies in parallel. We first present empirical data to…
Recent trends show that there are swift developments and fast convergence of wireless and mobile communication networks with internet services to provide the quality of ubiquitous access to network users. Most of the wireless networks and…
With the widespread use of mobile computing devices in contemporary society, our trajectories in the physical space and virtual world are increasingly closely connected. Using the anonymous smartphone data of $1 \times 10^5$ users in 30…
By trading coverage and hardware complexity for abundance of spectrum, sub-THz mobile access networks are expected to operate under highly directive and relatively spectrally inefficient transmission regimes, while still offering enormous…
Mobile users have not been able to exploit spatio-temporal differences between individual mobile networks operators for a variety of reasons. End user network switching and multihoming are two promising mechanisms that could allow such…
Controlling and coordinating urban traffic flow through robot vehicles is emerging as a novel transportation paradigm for the future. While this approach garners growing attention from researchers and practitioners, effectively managing and…
Mobile phones pervade our daily lives and play ever expanding roles in many contexts. Their ubiquitousness makes them pivotal in empowering disabled people. However, if no inclusive approaches are provided, it becomes a strong vehicle of…
Cellular networks serve as the backbone of global communication, providing critical access to telephony and the Internet, often in regions lacking alternatives. However, the growing complexity of these networks, driven by architectural…
Horizontal integration of access technologies to networks and services should be accompanied by some kind of convergence of authentication technologies. The missing link for the federation of user identities across the technological…
Information-Centric Networking is a promising networking paradigm that overcomes many of the limitations of current networking architectures. Various research efforts investigate solutions for securing ICN. Nevertheless, most of these…
Our current world is revolutionned by the networks which are interconnecting any machine to any other one. Nowadays equipments are plugged to the network by the way of many different network adapters (Ethernet, wifi, GSM), and network…
