In modern society, the flow of information has become the lifeblood of commerce and social interaction. This movement of data supports most aspects of the United States economy in particular, as well as, serving as the vehicle upon which…
The large-scale and ever-growing use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a wide range of applications is foreseen to be a major part of beyond 5G and 6G wireless networks in the next decade. The effective support of such massive…
Being an up-and-coming application scenario of mobile edge computing (MEC), the post-disaster rescue suffers multitudinous computing-intensive tasks but unstably guaranteed network connectivity. In rescue environments, quality of service…
Mobile communications have been undergoing a generational change every ten years or so. However, the time difference between the so-called "G's" is also decreasing. While fifth-generation (5G) systems are becoming a commercial reality,…
Airborne base stations (carried by drones) have a great potential to enhance coverage and capacity of cellular networks. Multiple scenarios and use cases will highly benefit from such technology such as (i) offloading terrestrial base…
The research in the sixth generation of communication networks needs to tackle new challenges in order to meet the requirements of emerging applications in terms of high data rate, low latency, high reliability, and massive connectivity. To…
The malfunction or interruption of wireless coverage services has been shown to increase the mortality rate during natural disasters. Wireless coverage by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) provides network coverage to ground user devices…
Responses to disastrous events are a challenging problem, because of possible damages on communication infrastructures. For instance, after a natural disaster, infrastructures might be entirely destroyed. Different network paradigms were…
The 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the cellular technology expected to outperform the previous generations and to some extent revolutionize the experience of the users by taking advantage of the most advanced radio access techniques (i.e.…
As natural disasters become more frequent and severe, ensuring a resilient communications infrastructure is of paramount importance for effective disaster response and recovery. This disaster-resilient infrastructure should also respond to…
The integration of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) into 6G systems is crucial for achieving seamless global coverage, particularly in underserved and disaster-prone regions. Among NTN platforms, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are…
Near-space communication network (NS-ComNet), as an indispensable component of sixth-generation (6G) and beyond mobile communication systems and the space-air-ground-sea integrated network (SAGSIN), demonstrates unique advantages in…
Fast and reliable wireless communication has become a critical demand in human life. In the case of mission-critical (MC) scenarios, for instance, when natural disasters strike, providing ubiquitous connectivity becomes challenging by using…
Wireless communication highly depends on the cellular ground base station (GBS). A failure of the cellular GBS, fully or partially, during natural or man-made disasters creates a communication gap in the disaster-affected areas. In such…
This paper presents field-tested use cases from Search and Rescue (SAR) missions, highlighting the co-design of mobile robots and communication systems to support Edge-Cloud architectures based on 5G Standalone (SA). The main goal is to…
Wireless communication systems that include unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) promise to provide cost-effective wireless connectivity for devices without infrastructure coverage. Compared to terrestrial communications or those based on…
This paper discusses the design, implementation and field trials of WiMesh - a resilient Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) based disaster communication system purpose-built for underdeveloped and rural parts of the world. Mesh networking is a…
Deployable networks are foreseen to be one of the key technologies for public safety in fifth generation (5G) mobile communications and beyond. They can be used to complement the existing public cellular networks to provide temporary and…
Enhancing restoration capabilities of distribution systems is one of the main strategies for resilient power systems to cope with extreme events. However, most of the existing studies assume the communication infrastructures are intact for…
Wireless communication has profoundly transformed the way we experience the world. For instance, at most events, attendees commonly utilize their smartphones to document and share their experiences. This shift in user behavior largely stems…
