Providing backhaul connectivity for macro and pico base stations (BSs) constitutes a significant share of infrastructure costs in future heterogeneous networks (HetNets). To address this issue, the emerging idea of flexible backhaul is…

In this work, we propose a novel approach called Operational Support Estimator Networks (OSENs) for the support estimation task. Support Estimation (SE) is defined as finding the locations of non-zero elements in sparse signals. By its very…

Policy optimization is an effective reinforcement learning approach to solve continuous control tasks. Recent achievements have shown that alternating online and offline optimization is a successful choice for efficient trajectory reuse.…

Containment-based trees encompass various handy structures such as B+-trees, R-trees and M-trees. They are widely used to build data indexes, range-queryable overlays, publish/subscribe systems both in centralized and distributed contexts.…

Fast and reliable connectivity is essential to enhancing situational awareness and operational efficiency for public safety mission-critical (MC) users. In emergency or disaster circumstances, where existing cellular network coverage and…

Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems (RMFS) rely on mobile robots for automated inventory transportation, coordinating order allocation and robot scheduling to enhance warehousing efficiency. However, optimizing RMFS is challenging due to…

In this paper, we propose an optimal control-estimation architecture for distribution networks, which jointly solves the optimal power flow (OPF) problem and static state estimation (SE) problem through an online gradient-based feedback…

This paper studies the scalability of a wireless backhaul network modeled as a random extended network with multi-antenna base stations (BSs), where the number of antennas per BS is allowed to scale as a function of the network size. The…

This paper studies real-time trajectory planning and radio resource allocation for a single uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) serving multiple mobile ground users in an urban environment. The downlink system considers heterogeneous user…

In cloud radio access networks (C-RANs), a substantial amount of data must be exchanged in both backhaul and fronthaul links, which causes high power consumption and poor quality of service (QoS) experience for real-time services. To solve…

Increasing electricity prices motivates the mobile network operators to find new energy-efficient solutions for radio access networks (RANs). In this study, we focus on a specific type of RAN where the stand-alone solar panels are used as…

This paper studies a networked sensing system with multiple base stations (BSs), which collaboratively sense the unknown and random three-dimensional (3D) location of a target based on the target-reflected echo signals received at the BSs.…

Cognitive Autonomous Networks (CAN) are promoted to advance Self Organizing Network (SON), replacing rule-based SON Functions (SFs) with Cognitive Functions (CFs), which learn optimal behavior by interacting with the network. As in SON, CFs…

Small cells have been proposed as a vehicle for wireless networks to keep up with surging demand. Small cells come with a significant challenge of providing backhaul to transport data to(from) a gateway node in the core network. Fiber based…

In this paper, we consider the channel assignment problem for cognitive radio networks with hardware-constrained secondary users (SUs). In particular, we assume that SUs exploit spectrum holes on a set of channels where each SU can use at…

This chapter overviews a recently introduced network-based model of combinatorial landscapes: Local Optima Networks (LON). The model compresses the information given by the whole search space into a smaller mathematical object that is a…

Next-generation wireless networks target high network availability, ubiquitous coverage, and extremely high data rates for mobile users. This requires exploring new frequency bands, e.g., mmWaves, moving toward ultra-dense deployments in…

Resource reservation is an essential step to enable wireless data networks to support a wide range of user demands. In this paper, we consider the problem of joint resource reservation in the backhaul and Radio Access Network (RAN) based on…

Capacity sharing networks are typical heterogeneous communication networks widely applied in information and communications technology (ICT) field. In such networks, resources like bandwidth, spectrum, computation and storage are shared…

Distributed Opportunistic Scheduling (DOS) is inherently harder than conventional opportunistic scheduling due to the absence of a central entity that has knowledge of all the channel states. With DOS, stations contend for the channel using…
