Wireless underground sensor networks (WUSNs) offer significant social and economic benefits by enabling the monitoring of subterranean entities. However, the communication reliability of WUSNs diminishes in harsh environments where…
In a multi robot system establishing trust amongst untrusted robots from different organisations while preserving a robot's privacy is a challenge. Recently decentralized technologies such as smart contract and blockchain are being explored…
Web services offer an opportunity to redesign a variety of older systems to exploit the advantages of a flexible, extensible, secure set of standards. In this work we revisit WSEmail, a system proposed over ten years ago to improve email by…
The Goal-oriented Communication (GoC) paradigm breaks the separation between communication and the content of the data, tailoring communication decisions to the specific needs of the receiver and targeting application performance. While…
This paper introduces a novel analytical framework for evaluating energy-efficient, QoS-aware network-sharing strategies in cellular networks. Leveraging stochastic geometry, our framework enables the systematic assessment of network…
This paper presents the application of Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) for future 6G industrial networks, establishing an efficient controller for the Networks-in-Network (NiN) concept. The proposed architecture integrates nomadic as well…
To support reliable and low-latency communication, Time-Sensitive Networking introduced protocols and interfaces for resource allocation in Ethernet. However, the implementation of these allocation algorithms has not yet been covered by the…
With the advent of edge computing, data generated by end devices can be pre-processed before transmission, possibly saving transmission time and energy. On the other hand, data processing itself incurs latency and energy consumption,…
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of standards that enables the industry to provide real-time guarantees for time-critical communications with Ethernet hardware. TSN supports various queuing and scheduling mechanisms and allows the…
The proliferation of Internet of things (IoT) devices in smart cities, transportation, healthcare, and industrial applications, coupled with the explosive growth of AI-driven services, has increased demands for efficient distributed…
The rapid expansion of sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) has catalyzed the evolution from centralized cloud intelligence towards decentralized edge general intelligence. However, traditional edge…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can serve as aerial base stations (BSs) to extend the ubiquitous connectivity for ground users (GUs) in the sixth-generation (6G) era. However, it is challenging to cooperatively deploy multiple UAV swarms in…
Although the emergence of 6G IoT networks has accelerated the deployment of enhanced smart city services, the resource limitations of IoT devices remain as a significant problem. Given this limitation, meeting the low-latency service…
Communication network engineering in enterprise environments is traditionally a complex, time-consuming, and error-prone manual process. Most research on network engineering automation has concentrated on configuration synthesis, often…
ACL configuration is essential for managing network flow reachability, yet its complexity grows significantly with topologies and pre-existing rules. To carry out ACL configuration, the operator needs to (1) understand the new configuration…
The rapid expansion of cellular networks and rising demand for high-quality services require efficient and autonomous network management solutions. Zero Touch Network (ZTN) management has emerged as a key approach to automating network…
Low-altitude airspace is becoming a new frontier for smart city services and commerce. Networks of drones, electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) vehicles, and other aircraft, termed Low-Altitude Economic Networks (LAENets), promise…
LEO Satellite Networks (LSNs) are revolutionizing global connectivity, but their reliance on tens of thousands of satellites raises pressing concerns over sustainability and survivability. In this work, we argue that the inefficiencies in…
The Onion Router (Tor) relies on path selection algorithms to balance performance and anonymity by determining how traffic flows through its relay network. As Tor scales and usage patterns evolve, default strategies such as…
Single-wavelength 400G coherent optical communications have become a critical solution to meet the explosive traffic demands. However, the single-carrier modulation using low-order modulation formats requires a broader wavelength division…
