Many quantum-network applications require end-to-end Bell pairs whose fidelity exceeds a request-specific threshold, but existing entanglement routing algorithms either optimize only throughput without regard for fidelity or enforce…

Iran conducted two nationwide Internet shutdowns in January and March 2026, the latter ongoing at the time of writing and the longest documented Iranian disruption. Using a three-plane methodology combining passive Censys scan data, active…

Network digital twins (NDTs) are transforming network management by offering precise virtual replicas of physical network systems. However, their reliance on diverse and sensitive data introduces significant challenges related to data…

Many recent news reports have claimed that content generated by large language models (LLMs) is taking over the web. However, these claims are typically not based on a representative sample of the web and the methodology underlying them is…

A critical barrier to the trustworthiness of sixth-generation (6G) agentic autonomous networks is the uncertainty neglect bias; a cognitive tendency for large language model (LLM)-powered agents to make high-stakes decisions based on simple…

Internet speed tests are indispensable for users, ISPs, and policymakers, but their static flooding-based design imposes growing costs: a single high-speed test can transfer hundreds of MB, and collectively, platforms like Ookla, M-Lab, and…

NetSatBench is a distributed emulation platform for evaluating communication protocols and application workloads over large-scale LEO satellite systems. Satellites, gateways, and user terminals are implemented as Linux containers…

Layer-7 (L7) proxies are critical to modern cloud-native systems, yet their performance is increasingly bottlenecked by copying entire payloads across the kernel-user boundary. Existing approaches reduce this overhead but typically…

LoRa has become a widely adopted wireless modulation scheme in LPWANs due to its low cost, long range, and minimal transmission power. However, collisions between frames of the same spreading factor -- common in dense LoRa deployments --…

Future uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) systems increasingly combine heterogeneous communication technologies, such as low-latency aerial mesh, terrestrial cellular, and satellite links, to improve robustness and coverage. Multipath transport…

The convergence of 5G and IoT enables fully connected, intelligent environments, but it faces challenges from the fragmentation of public/private 5G networks and the heterogeneity of IoT networks. We propose a unified framework using CAMARA…

Volumetric videoconferencing enables immersive six Degrees of Freedom interactions by jointly transmitting visual appearance and 3D geometry. However, delivering volumetric video over today's networks remains challenging due to high…

Radio Access Network (RAN) configuration has traditionally required significant manual effort due to indirect causal dependencies between observable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and context-dependent characteristics, where the optimal…

Collective communication (CC) is critical for scaling distributed machine learning (DML). The predictable traffic patterns of DML present a great opportunity for applying optical network technologies. Optical networks with reconfigurable…

Time synchronization is essential for industrial IoT and Industry 4.0/5.0 applications, but achieving high synchronization accuracy in Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)-5G networks is challenging due to jitter and asymmetric delays. 3GPP TS…

As networks evolve towards 6G, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) must accommodate diverse requirements and at the same time manage rising energy consumption. Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) networks facilitate dense cellular deployments…

Generative ML models are increasingly popular in networking for tasks such as telemetry imputation, prediction, and synthetic trace generation. Despite their capabilities, they suffer from two shortcomings: \emph{(i)} their output is often…

In the forthcoming era of 6G networks, characterized by unprecedented data rates, ultra-low latency, and ubiquitous connectivity, effective management of Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) is essential. VNFs are software-based…

Dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) played an important role in the 4G-to-5G transition by allowing 5G new radio (NR) to enter valuable legacy spectrum without immediate static refarming. Yet practical deployments also exposed the cost of…

AI coding agents demonstrate strong performance on general-purpose software benchmarks. However, their ability to handle 5G network engineering tasks remains unexplored. We propose SWE-Bench~5G, the first benchmark designed to investigate…
