We propose xRAC to permit users to run special applications on managed hosts and to grant them access to protected network resources. We use restricted application containers (RACs) for that purpose. A RAC is a virtualization container with…

In the next generation wireless networks, the growing demand for new wireless applications is accompanied with high expectations for better quality of service (QoS) fulfillment especially for multimedia applications. Furthermore, the…

The Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) is an emerging idea -- transforming the traditional Radio Access Networks (RAN) that are monolithic and inflexible into more flexible and innovative. By leveraging open standard interfaces, data…

The ubiquitous presence of WiFi access points and mobile devices capable of measuring WiFi signal strengths allow for real-world applications in indoor localization and mapping. In particular, no additional infrastructure is required.…

Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies like the Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) standard provide the foundation of applications realizing communication and intelligent interaction between almost any kind of object. These…

Long Range Wide Area Networks (LoRaWAN) is an open medium access control (MAC) layer technology devised for the long range connectivity of massive number of low power network devices. This work gives an overview of the key aspects of…

The IEEE 802.11 standards, culminating in IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), have significantly expanded bandwidth capacities from 20 MHz to 320 MHz, marking a crucial evolution in wireless access technology. Despite these advancements, the full…

Nano-IoT enables a wide range of ground-breaking technologies, but face implementation challenges due to the extremity of the scale. Space restrictions pose severe power supply considerations, to the point where just a few packet…

Ultra-densification of user equipment (UE) and access points (APs) are anticipated to take a toll on the future spectrum needs. Higher frequency bands, such as mmWave ($30$-$300GHz$) and THz spectrum ($0.3$-$10THz$), can be used to cater to…

The coexistence between active wireless communications and passive RF spectrum use becomes an increasingly important requirement for coordinated spectrum access supporting critical services. The ongoing research and technological progress…

The recent increase in number of wireless devices has been driven by the growing markets of smart homes and the Internet of Things (IoT). As a result, expanding and/or efficient utilization of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum is critical…

Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) have arisen as a promising communication technology for supporting Internet of Things (IoT) services due to their low power operation, wide coverage range, low cost and scalability. However, most LPWAN…

The millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology, recently standardized by IEEE 802.11ad, is emerging as an attractive alternative to the traditional 2.4/5GHz wireless systems, promising multi-Gigabit wireless throughput. However, the high…

N-Variant Execution (NVX) systems utilize software diversity techniques for enhancing software security. The general idea is to run multiple different variants of the same program alongside each other while monitoring their run-time…

Network Flying Platforms (NFPs) such as unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned balloons or drones flying at low/medium/high altitude can be employed to enhance network coverage and capacity by deploying a swarm of flying platforms that…

We consider the problem of excessive and unnecessary active scans in heavily utilized WLANs during which low rate probe requests and responses are broadcast. These management frames severely impact the goodput. Our analysis of two…

Obtaining access to exclusive spectrum, cell sites, Radio Access Network (RAN) equipment, and edge infrastructure imposes major capital expenses to mobile network operators. A neutral host infrastructure, by which a third-party company…

Recent regulatory changes proposed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) permitting unlicensed use of television white space (TVWS) channels present new opportunities for designing wireless networks that make efficient use of this…

The ever-increasing number of distributed embedded systems in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) rely on wireless communication to collect and exchange data. Nodes…
