Accurate motion tracking of snow particles in avalanche events requires robust localization in global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-denied outdoor environments. This paper introduces AoI-FusionNet, a tightly coupled deep learning-based…

This paper presents the first bit error rate (BER) analysis of a pinching-antenna (PA)-based non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) communication system. The PA is assumed to be able to be placed anywhere along the waveguide and serves two…

Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is poised to redefine the landscape of wireless networks by seamlessly combining data transmission and environmental sensing. However, ISAC systems remain susceptible to eavesdropping, especially…

Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) increasingly rely on non-geostationary (NGSO) constellations that combine radio frequency (RF) feeder links (FLs) with free space optical (FSO) inter-satellite links (ISLs). Downlink performance in such…

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transceiver design and probabilistic shaping (PS) are key enablers for high spectral efficiency in 6G wireless networks. This work proposes a distribution-aware MIMO transceiver optimized for PS…

Maximum-likelihood (ML) detection in high-order MIMO systems is computationally prohibitive due to exponential complexity in the number of transmit layers and constellation size. In this white paper, we demonstrate that for practical MIMO…

Bioelectrical properties of cells such as relative permittivity, conductivity, and characteristic time constants vary significantly between healthy and malignant cells across different frequencies. These distinctions provide a promising…

Leveraging the multilayer realization of programmable metasurfaces, stacked intelligent metasurfaces (SIM) enable fine-grained wave-domain control. However, their wideband deployment is impeded by two structural factors: (i) a single,…

This paper investigates multiuser interference (MUI) cancellation for millimeter-wave (mmWave) beamforming in communication systems. We propose a linear algorithm, termed iterative dual orthogonal projections (DOP), which alternates between…

This paper investigates downlink transmission in 5G Integrated Satellite-Terrestrial Networks (ISTNs) supporting automotive users (UEs) in urban environments, where base stations (BSs) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites (LSats) cooperate…

We consider a setup with Internet of Things (IoT), where a base station (BS) collects data from nodes that use two different communication modes. The first is pull-based, where the BS retrieves the data from specific nodes through queries.…

This paper investigates the role and the impact of control operations for dynamic mobile edge computing (MEC) empowered by Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs), in which multiple devices offload their computation tasks to an access…

With the advent of 5G and the research into beyond 5G (B5G) networks, a novel and very relevant research issue is how to manage the coexistence of different types of traffic, each with very stringent but completely different requirements.…

Power and channel allocation in interference-limited systems is a key enabler for beyond 5G (B5G) technologies, such as multi-carrier full duplex non-orthogonal multiple access (FD-NOMA). In FD-NOMA systems power allocation is a very…

This paper investigates the problem of covert communications in a heterogeneous wireless network where multiple communication modalities are used simultaneously. In this setup, a legitimate transmitter sends confidential data to its…

In Earth observation (EO) missions with Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, high-resolution image acquisition generates a massive data volume that poses a significant challenge for transmission under the limited satellite power budget, while…

With the deployment of large antenna arrays at high-frequency bands, future wireless communication systems are likely to operate in the radiative near-field (NF). Unlike far-field beam steering, NF beams can be focused on a spatial region…

Near-field propagation in extremely large-scale MIMO (XL-MIMO) enlarges the beam training (BT) search space by introducing an additional range dimension, which makes conventional codebook-based beam sweeping prohibitively expensive under…

Hybrid beamforming for extremely large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (XL-MIMO) systems is challenging in the near field because the channel depends jointly on angle and distance, and the multiuser interference (MUI) is strong.…

Following recent advances in flexible electronics and programmable metasurfaces, flexible intelligent metasurfaces (FIMs) have emerged as a promising enabling technology for next-generation wireless networks. A FIM is a morphable…
