Enabling cellular connectivity for drones introduces a wide set of challenges and opportunities. Communication of cellular-connected drones is influenced by 3-dimensional mobility and line-of-sight channel characteristics which results in…
Tag-based physical layer authentication (PLA) has garnered significant attention due to its low complexity and enhanced security. However, existing PLA schemes encounter two challenges. First, unintended user interference, which overlaps…
Drones have recently emerged as a faster, safer, and cost-efficient way for last-mile deliveries of parcels, particularly for urgent medical deliveries highlighted during the pandemic. This paper addresses a new challenge of multi-parcel…
Autonomous vehicle platooning promises many benefits such as fuel efficiency, road safety, reduced traffic congestion, and passenger comfort. Platooning vehicles travel in a single file, in close distance, and at the same velocity. The…
Communication networks able to withstand hostile environments are critically important for disaster relief operations. In this paper, we consider a challenging scenario where drones have been compromised in the supply chain, during their…
In physical layer authentication (PLA) mechanisms, a verifier decides whether a received message has been transmitted by a legitimate user or an intruder, according to some features of the physical channel over which the message traveled.…
In parallel with the advances of aerial networks, the use of drones is quickly included in daily activities. According to the characteristics of the operations to be carried out using the drones, the need for simultaneous use of one or more…
The increase in the number of unmanned aerial vehicles a.k.a. drones pose several threats to public privacy, critical infrastructure and cyber security. Hence, detecting unauthorized drones is a significant problem which received attention…
Re-configurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) technology is increasingly becoming a potential component for next-generation wireless networks, offering enhanced performance in terms of throughput, spectral, and energy efficiency. However, the…
Embedded sensing systems are pervasively used in life- and security-critical systems such as those found in airplanes, automobiles, and healthcare. Traditional security mechanisms for these sensors focus on data encryption and other…
The current paper studies a protective mission to defend a domain called the safe zone from a rogue drone invasion. We consider a one attacker and one defender drone scenario where only a noisy observation of the attacker at every time step…
To accomplish various tasks, safe and smooth control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) needs to be guaranteed, which cannot be met by existing ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC). This has attracted the attention of the…
The deployment of autonomous drone swarms in disaster response missions necessitates the development of flexible, scalable, and robust coordination systems. Traditional fixed architectures struggle to cope with dynamic and unpredictable…
Physical layer security (PLS) is critically important for emerging wireless communication networks to maintain the confidentiality of the information of legitimate users. In this paper, we investigate enhancing PLS in an unmanned aerial…
Zero-shot coordination (ZSC) is a significant challenge in multi-agent collaboration, aiming to develop agents that can coordinate with unseen partners they have not encountered before. Recent cutting-edge ZSC methods have primarily focused…
We study a problem of online targets coverage by a drone or a sensor that is equipped with a camera or an antenna of fixed half-angle of view $\alpha$. The targets to be monitored appear at arbitrary positions on a line barrier in an online…
Increasing traffic demands, higher levels of automation, and communication enhancements provide novel design opportunities for future air traffic controllers (ATCs). This article presents a novel deep reinforcement learning (DRL) controller…
Dynamically changing environments, unreliable state estimation, and operation under severe resource constraints are fundamental challenges that limit the deployment of small autonomous drones. We address these challenges in the context of…
Physical layer authentication (PLA) uses inherent characteristics of the communication medium to provide secure and efficient authentication in wireless networks, bypassing the need for traditional cryptographic methods. With advancements…
Precise positioning is a key enabler for emerging 5G applications, from autonomous transport to industrial automation. Yet the open physical layer (PL) leaves standard positioning reference signals (PRSs) vulnerable to manipulation. This…
