Digital connectivity gap in the global south hampered the education of millions of school children during the COVID-19 pandemic. If not actions are taken to remedy this problem, future prospects of millions of children around will be bleak.…
The increasing availability of high-resolution satellite imagery has enabled the use of machine learning to support land-cover measurement and inform policy-making. However, labelling satellite images is expensive and is available for only…
In the last decade, there has been a great technological advance in the infrastructure of mobile technologies. The increase in the use of wireless local area networks and the use of satellite services are also noticed. The high utilization…
Over time, agriculture is the most consistent activity, and it evolves every day. It contributes to a vast majority of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Nigeria but as ironic as it may be, there is still hunger in significant parts of the…
Using images containing information on wealth, this research investigates that pictures are capable of reliably predicting the economic prosperity of households. Without surveys on wealth-related information and human-made standard of…
Advancements in smart metering technologies have significantly improved the ability to monitor and manage water utilities. In the context of increasing uncertainty due to climate change, securing water resources and supply has emerged as an…
Identifying the locations and footprints of buildings is vital for many practical and scientific purposes. Such information can be particularly useful in developing regions where alternative data sources may be scarce. In this work, we…
With the rapid development of mobile communication technologies, future mobile networks will offer vast services and resources for commuting, production, daily life, and entertainment. Accurate and efficient forecasting of mobile data…
The growth of the Internet and its associated technologies; including digital services have tremendously impacted our society. However, scholars have noted a trend in data flow and collection; and have alleged mass surveillance and digital…
The information about pavement surface type is rarely available in road network databases of developing countries although it represents a cornerstone of the design of efficient mobility systems. This research develops an automatic…
A recent report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) highlights that water-related disasters have caused the highest human losses among natural disasters over the past 50 years, with over 91\% of deaths occurring in low-income…
The development of Digital Economy sets its own requirements for the formation and development of so-called digital doubles and digital shadows of real objects (subjects/regions). An integral element of their development and application is…
In the diverse landscape of 6G networks, where wireless connectivity demands surge and spectrum resources remain limited, flexible spectrum access becomes paramount. The success of crafting such schemes hinges on our ability to accurately…
Surface level hydrometeors, and specifically fog, cause attenuation of the signal level measured by microwave communication networks. These networks operate at frequencies of tens of GHz and form the data transport infrastructure between…
The main contribution reported in the paper is a novel paradigm through which mobile cellular traffic forecasting is made substantially more accurate. Specifically, by incorporating freely available road metrics we characterise the data…
Human society needs to increase food production by an estimated 70% by 2050 to feed an expected population size that is predicted to be over 9 billion people. Currently, infectious diseases reduce the potential yield by an average of 40%…
Many households in developing countries lack formal financial histories, making it difficult for firms to extend credit, and for potential borrowers to receive it. However, many of these households have mobile phones, which generate rich…
The explosion of mobile phone communications in the last years occurs at a moment where data processing power increases exponentially. Thanks to those two changes in a global scale, the road has been opened to use mobile phone…
Rapid urbanization places increasing stress on already burdened transportation systems, resulting in delays and poor levels of service. Billions of spatiotemporal call detail records (CDRs) collected from mobile devices create new…
Through Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), a global coverage connecting areas with minimal or no terrestrial services is envisaged using satellite and air-borne platforms. However, one of the challenges to delivering NTN communications is the…
