With the advances in virtual and augmented reality, gaming applications, and entertainment, certain indoor scenarios will require vastly higher capacity than what can be delivered by 5G. In this paper, we focus on massive MIMO for indoor…
Millimeter wave (mmWave) signals experience orders-of-magnitude more pathloss than the microwave signals currently used in most wireless applications. MmWave systems must therefore leverage large antenna arrays, made possible by the…
Distributed wireless clock synchronization is essential for aligning the clocks of distributed transceivers in support of joint transmission and reception techniques. One recently explored method involves synchronizing distributed…
Synchronization is a fundamental procedure in cellular systems whereby an UE acquires the time and frequency information required to decode the data transmitted by a BS. Due to the necessity of using large antenna arrays to obtain the…

Classical beamforming techniques rely on highly linear transmitters and receivers to allow phase-coherent combining at the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter uses beamforming to steer signal power towards the receiver, and the…
Beamforming is a signal processing technique where an array of antenna elements can be steered to transmit and receive radio signals in a specific direction. The usage of millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies and multiple input multiple…
The sixth generation (6G) mobile communication networks are expected to offer a new paradigm of cellular integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). However, due to the intrinsic difference between sensing and communication in terms of…
Distributed optimization concerns the optimization of a common function in a distributed network, which finds a wide range of applications ranging from machine learning to vehicle platooning. Its key operation is to aggregate all local…
With increasing density of small cells in modern multi-cell deployments, a given user can have multiple options for its serving cell. The serving cell for each user must be carefully chosen such that the user achieves reasonably high…
Over-the-air computation (AirComp) has been recognized as a low-latency solution for wireless sensor data fusion, where multiple sensors send their measurement signals to a receiver simultaneously for computation. Most existing work only…
A central problem in analog wireless sensor networks is to design the gain or phase-shifts of the sensor nodes (i.e. the relaying configuration) in order to achieve an accurate estimation of some parameter of interest at a fusion center, or…
This paper deals with the problem of beamforming design in a multibeam satellite, which is shared by different groups of terminals -clusters-, each served by an Earth station or gateway. Each gateway precodes the symbols addressed to its…
Through spatial multiplexing and diversity, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) cognitive radio (CR) networks can markedly increase transmission rates and reliability, while controlling the interference inflicted to peer nodes and primary users…
Beamforming and precoding/combining are techniques aimed at processing multiantenna signals at the transmitter and/or at the receiver of a wireless communication system. While they have been routinely used to improve performance in current…
