We propose a novel service-oriented architecture for drone-based multi-package delivery in a skyway network. The proposed architecture provides a high-level design for deploying a skyway network in a city for the effective provisioning of…

Growing attentions have been paid to renewable energy or hybrid energy powered heterogeneous networks (HetNets). In this paper, focusing on backhaul-aware joint user association and resource allocation for this type of HetNets, we formulate…

Multicast transmission and wireless caching are effective ways of reducing air and backhaul traffic load in wireless networks. This paper proposes to incorporate these two key ideas for content-centric multicast transmission in a cloud…

The rapid involution of the mobile generation with incipient data networking capabilities and utilization has exponentially increased the data traffic volumes. Such traffic drains various key issues in 5G mobile backhaul networks. Security…

Mobile users are prone to experience beam failure due to beam drifting in millimeter wave (mmWave) communications. Sensing can help alleviate beam drifting with timely beam changes and low overhead since it does not need user feedback. This…

Cellular networks are evolving towards dense deployment of small cells. This in turn demands flexible and efficient backhauling solutions. A viable solution that reuses the same spectrum is wireless backhaul where the Small Base Station…

Unmanned aerial vehicles serving as aerial base stations (UAV-BSs) can be deployed to provide wireless connectivity to ground devices in events of increased network demand, points-of-failure in existing infrastructure, or disasters.…

The growing use of aerial user equipments (UEs) in various applications requires ubiquitous and reliable connectivity for safe control and data exchange between these devices and ground stations. Key questions that need to be addressed when…

A high-rate yet low-cost air-to-ground (A2G) communication backbone is conceived for integrating the space and terrestrial network by harnessing the opportunistic assistance of the passenger planes or high altitude platforms (HAPs) as…

We consider a dynamic millimeter-wave network with integrated access and backhaul, where mobile relay nodes move to auto-reconfigure the wireless backhaul. Specifically, we focus on in-band relaying networks, which conduct access and…

Integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or "drones" into the civil aviation airspace is a problem of increasing interest in the aviation community, as testified by many initiatives developed worldwide. Many traditional surveillance…

Collaboration between drones and trucks in a last-mile delivery system offers numerous benefits and reduces many challenges of the traditional delivery system. Here, we introduce Drone-Delivery Packing Problem, where a set of parcels,…

Communication networks able to withstand hostile environments are critically important for disaster relief operations. In this paper, we consider a challenging scenario where drones have been compromised in the supply chain, during their…

Drones will have extensive use cases across various commercial, government, and military sectors, ranging from delivery of consumer goods to search and rescue operations. To maintain the safety and security of people and infrastructure, it…

Future generation wireless networks are designed with extremely low delay requirements which makes even small contributed delays important. On the other hand, software defined networking (SDN) has been introduced as a key enabler of future…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used as flying base stations (BSs) to offload Macro-BSs in hotspots. However, due to the limited battery on-board, UAVs can typically stay in operation for less than 1.5 hours. Afterward, the UAV has…
