Internet networks are handling increasing volume of traffic than ever before. This data is mainly associated to sensitive, distributed, and multimedia applications. In the past years, much attention has been paid to the way network…
The service provided by mobile networks operated today is not adapted to spatio-temporal fluctuations in traffic demand, although such fluctuations offer opportunities for energy savings. In particular, significant gains in energy…
Wireless networks are becoming extremely pervasive while traffic demand is ever increasing. In order to cope with the forecast increase in traffic volume for the upcoming years, as well as the number of connected devices, new technologies,…
Today, 95% of the global population has 2G mobile phone coverage and the number of individuals who own a mobile phone is at an all time high. Mobile phones generate rich data on billions of people across different societal contexts and have…
In recent years, mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets) have met an increasing commercial success and have become a fundamental element of the everyday life for billions of people all around the world. Mobile devices are used not…
WiFi allows for the connection of devices and people around the globe. It has proven to be a monumental and revolutionary tool that keeps the world connected. However, recent WiFi advancements are numerous and at times confusing. WiFi has…
Critical infrastructure constitutes the foundation of every society. While traditionally solely relying on dedicated cable-based communication, this infrastructure rapidly transforms to highly digitized and interconnected systems which…
Fiber-Wireless (FiWi) access networks have been widely deployed due to the complementary advantages of high-capacity fiber backhaul and ubiquitous wireless front end. To meet the increasing demands for bandwidth-hungry applications, access…
LTE networks are commonplace nowadays; however, comparatively little is known about where (and why) they are deployed, and the demand they serve. We shed some light on these issues through large-scale, crowd-sourced measurement. Our data,…
This paper addresses some aspects of the general problem of information transfer and distributed function computation in wireless networks. Many applications of wireless technology foresee networks of autonomous devices executing tasks that…
In modern wireless communication systems, there is a rapidly increasing demand for connectivity to wireless networks. Devices such as internet of things (IoT) devices, connected vehicles, smartphones, surveillance systems, and various other…
In mobile computation offloading (MCO), mobile devices (MDs) can choose to either execute tasks locally or to have them executed on a remote edge server (ES). This paper addresses the problem of assigning both the wireless communication…
Wireless networking allows users to access information and services regardless of location and physical infrastructure. It is a fast growing technology due to its availability of wireless devices, flexibility, ease of installation and…
With the dense deployment of millimeter wave (mmWave) front ends and popularization of bandwidth-intensive applications, shared backhaul in fiber-wireless (FiWi) networks is still facing a bandwidth crunch. To alleviate the backhaul…
The employment of power lines for communications (PLC) has been theorized almost a century ago; although the physical medium is not meant for data transmission, recent technical developments pushed the capacity boundary much higher than…
Electrification turned over a new leaf in aviation by introducing new types of aerial vehicles along with new means of transportation. Addressing a plethora of use cases, drones are gaining attention and increasingly appear in the sky.…
The extreme traffic load that future wireless networks are expected to accommodate requires a re-thinking of the system design. Initial estimations indicate that, different from the evolutionary path of previous cellular generations that…
Mobile devices integrating wireless short-range communication technologies make possible new applications for spontaneous communication, interaction and collaboration. An interesting approach is to use collaboration to facilitate…
This paper considers peer-to-peer scheduling for a network with multiple wireless devices. A subset of the devices are mobile users that desire specific files. Each user may already have certain popular files in its cache. The remaining…
After about a decade of intense research, spurred by both economic and operational considerations, and by environmental concerns, energy efficiency has now become a key pillar in the design of communication networks. With the advent of the…
