In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) assisted mobile edge computing systems have been exploited by researchers as a promising solution for providing computation services to mobile users outside of terrestrial infrastructure…

The opportunistic routing has great advantages on improving packet delivery probability between the source node and candidate forwarding set. For improving and reducing energy consumption and network interference, in this paper, we propose…

Early detection of significant traumatic events, e.g. a terrorist attack or a ship capsizing, is important to ensure that a prompt emergency response can occur. In the modern world telecommunication systems could play a key role in ensuring…

Underwater optical wireless communication (UOWC) is becoming an attractive technology for underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) since it offers high-speed communication links. Although UOWC overcomes the drawbacks of acoustic and…

We introduce and study a new cooperative delivery problem inspired by drone-assisted package delivery. We consider a scenario where a drone, en route to deliver a package to a destination (a point on the plane), unexpectedly loses…

This article considers a cooperative vehicle routing problem for an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance mission in the presence of communication constraints between the vehicles. The proposed framework uses a ground vehicle and…

This paper introduces an efficient reactive routing protocol considering the mobility and the reliability of a node in Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks (CRSNs). The proposed protocol accommodates the dynamic behavior of the spectrum…

A reliable communication network is essential for multiple UAVs operating within obstacle-cluttered environments, where limited communication due to obstructions often occurs. A common solution is to deploy intermediate UAVs to relay…

We consider the problem of routing in a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) for which the planned mobilities of the nodes are partially known a priori and the nodes travel in groups. This situation arises commonly in military and emergency…

We develop a general approach for designing scheduling policies for real-time traffic over wireless channels. We extend prior work, which characterizes a real-time flow by its traffic pattern, delay bound, timely-throughput requirement, and…

Providing a stable connectivity in maritime communications is of utmost importance to unleash the full potential of smart ports. Nonetheless, due to the crowded nature of harbor environments, it is likely that some ships are shadowed by…

In this paper, we investigate the issue of spectrum assignment in CRNs and examine various opportunistic spectrum access approaches proposed in the literature. We provide insight into the efficiency of such approaches and their ability to…

In the last fifty years, researchers have developed statistical, data-driven, analytical, and algorithmic approaches for designing and improving emergency response management (ERM) systems. The problem has been noted as inherently difficult…

During incidents and disasters it is fundamental to provide to first responders high performance and reliable communications, in order to improve their coordination capabilities and their awareness of the surrounding environment, and to…

To ensure seamless communication in wireless multi-hop networks, certain classes of routing protocols are defined. This vary paper, is based upon proactive routing protocols for Wireless multihop networks. Initially, we discuss Destination…

Emergency communication is vital for search and rescue operations following natural disasters. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can significantly assist emergency communication by agile positioning, maintaining connectivity during rapid…

In this paper, we investigate resource allocation design for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled communication systems, where a UAV is dispatched to provide communications to multiple user nodes. Our objective is to maximize the…

Despite the trend towards ubiquitous wireless connectivity, there are scenarios where the communications infrastructure is damaged and wireless coverage is insufficient or does not exist, such as in natural disasters and temporary crowded…

Communications play a vital role in the response to disasters and crises. However, existing communications infrastructure is often impaired, destroyed or overwhelmed during such events. This leads to the use of substitute communications…

This paper aims to enhance the physical layer security against potential internal eavesdroppings by exploiting the maneuverability of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). We consider a scenario where two receivers with different security…
