Meteorological disasters such as typhoons, forest fires, and floods can damage the communication infrastructures, which will further disable the communication capabilities of cellular networks. The multi-hop wireless communication based on…

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising radio access technique for next-generation wireless networks. In this article, we investigate the NOMA-based cooperative relay network. We begin with an introduction of the existing…

We consider ALOHA and slotted ALOHA protocols as medium access rules for a multi-channel message delivery system. Users decide randomly and independently with a minimal amount of knowledge about the system at random times to make a message…

Optical wireless technology has the potential to complement the wireless access services provided so far over RF. Apart from the abundant unlicensed bandwidth available for ultra-dense deployments over optical wireless bands, optical…

We study multiple base station, multi-access systems in which the user-base station adjacency is induced by geographical proximity. At each slot, each user transmits (is active) with a certain probability, independently of other users, and…

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a key technology to enable massive machine type communications (mMTC) in 5G networks and beyond. In this paper, NOMA is applied to improve the random access efficiency in high-density…

ALOHA-type protocols became a popular solution for distributed and uncoordinated multiple random access in wireless networks. However, such distributed operation of the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer leads to sub-optimal utilization of…

Long Range (LoRa) is a modem technology for wireless communication in the Internet of Things (IoT), which trades off low data-rate for low power consumption. Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) has an open specification that determines…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is large-scale by nature, which is manifested by the massive number of connected devices as well as their vast spatial existence. Cellular networks, which provide ubiquitous, reliable, and efficient wireless…

Unlike conventional fixed-antenna architectures, rotatable antenna (RA) has shown great potential in enhancing wireless communication performance by exploiting additional spatial degrees of freedom (DoFs) in a cost-effective manner. In this…

The random access scheme is a fundamental scenario in which users transmit through a shared channel and cannot coordinate each other. In recent years, successive interference cancellation (SIC) was introduced into the random access scheme.…

Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) networks are making spectacular progress from design, standardisation, to commercialisation. At this time of fast-paced adoption, it is of utmost importance to analyse how well these technologies will scale as the…

Reliable uplink connectivity remains a persistent challenge for IoT devices, particularly those at the cell edge, due to their limited transmit power and single-antenna configurations. This paper introduces a novel framework aimed at…

LTE Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a 3GPP defined cellular technology that is designed to enable connectivity to many low-cost and low power/throughput IoT devices running delay-tolerant applications. NB-IoT can coexist within…

The Age of Incorrect Information (AoII) is a metric that can combine the freshness of the information available to a gateway in an Internet of Things (IoT) network with the accuracy of that information. As such, minimizing the AoII can…

Applications like environmental sensing, and health and activity sensing, are supported by networks of devices (nodes) that send periodic packet transmissions over the wireless channel to a sink node. We look at simple abstractions that…

Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) is a networked version of optical wireless communication (OWC), which is a strong candidate to fulfill the unprecedented increase in user-traffic expected in the near future. In OWC, a high number of optical access…
