Text messaging is the most widely used form of computer-mediated communication (CMC). Previous findings have shown that linguistic factors can reliably indicate messages as deceptive. For example, users take longer and use more words to…
Enabling high-rate, low-latency and ultra-reliable wireless communications between unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their associated ground pilots/users is of paramount importance to realize their large-scale usage in the future. To…
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a bandwidth allocation method based on the comparative advantage of spectral efficiency among users in a multi-tone small-cell radio access system with frequency-selective fading channels. The…
Current speech agent interactions are typically user-initiated, limiting the interactions they can deliver. Future functionality will require agents to be proactive, sometimes interrupting users. Little is known about how these spoken…
Modalities of communication for human beings are gradually increasing in number with the advent of new forms of technology. Many human beings can readily transition between these different forms of communication with little or no effort,…
Spectral properties and performance of multi-pulse impulse radio ultra-wideband systems with pulse-based polarity randomization are analyzed. Instead of a single type of pulse transmitted in each frame, multiple types of pulses are…
Full-Duplex Speech Dialogue Systems (Full-Duplex SDS) have significantly enhanced the naturalness of human-machine interaction by enabling real-time bidirectional communication. However, existing approaches face challenges such as…
The vision of seamlessly integrating information transfer (IT) and microwave based power transfer (PT) in the same system has led to the emergence of a new research area, called wirelessly power communications (WPC). Extensive research has…
Laser has unique advantages such as abundant spectrum resources and low propagation divergence in wireless charging and wireless communications, compared with radio frequency. Resonant beams, as a kind of intra-cavity laser beams, have been…
Recently, the concept of wake-up radio based access has been considered as an effective power saving mechanism for 5G mobile devices. In this article, the average power consumption of a wake-up radio enabled mobile device is analyzed and…
While the effect of various lexical, syntactic, semantic and stylistic features have been addressed in persuasive language from a computational point of view, the persuasive effect of phonetics has received little attention. By modeling a…
Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is envisioned to be an integral component of 5G networks, and a technique for meeting the demand for high data rates. In a cellular network, D2D allows not only direct communication between users, but…
We compare phone labels and articulatory features as input for cross-lingual transfer learning in text-to-speech (TTS) for low-resource languages (LRLs). Experiments with FastSpeech 2 and the LRL West Frisian show that using articulatory…
In this paper we study the capacity region of the multi-pair bidirectional (or two-way) wireless relay network, in which a relay node facilitates the communication between multiple pairs of users. This network is a generalization of the…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated the ability to improve human efficiency through conversational interactions. Conventional LLM-powered dialogue systems, operating on a turn-based paradigm, preclude real-time interaction during…
The frequency of mobile communication is often used as an indicator of the strength of a tie between two individuals, but how mobile communication relates to other forms of behaving close in social relationships is poorly understood. We…
While users in the developed world can choose to adopt the technology that suits their needs, the emergent users cannot afford this luxury, hence, they adapt themselves to the technology that is readily available. When technology is…
In contrast to other spread-spectrum techniques, wideband pulse trains with relatively low pulse arrival rates may be considered unsuitable for covert communications. The high crest factor of such trains can be extremely burdensome for the…
The frequency with which people interact with technology means that users may develop interface habits, i.e. fast, automatic responses to stable interface cues. Design guidelines often assume that interface habits are beneficial. However,…
The possibility of shifting sound energy from lower to higher frequency bands is investigated. The system configuration considered is a segmented structure having non-linear stiffness characteristics. It is proposed here that such a…
