This paper explores the evolution of wireless communication networks from utilizing the sub-
6 GHz spectrum and the millimeter wave frequency band to incorporating extremely high …

The proliferation of small uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) poses many threats to airspace
systems and critical infrastructures. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in …

In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid network solution using optical code-division
multiple-access and free-space optics (OCDMA-FSO) to support multiple data rates and …

In a drone assisted wireless network, a drone is deployed over a place of interest (PoI) to
relay traffic between the users at the PoI and a nearby wireless access point (WAP). To …

Thanks to its unique and fundamental characteristics, Free Space Optic (FSO) has emerged
as a significant choice for both fronthaul and backhaul links in satellite-aerial-ground (SAG) …

In today's rapidly evolving network world, there is a growing demand to provide and improve
network connectivity in every corner. To meet these challenges, a promising solution is the …

Non-terrestrial Network (NTN), utilizing highaltitude platforms (HAP)-based free-space
optical (FSO) backhaul and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for last-mile access, is a …

Future networks are expected to make substantial use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
as aerial base stations (BSs). The backhauling of UAVs is often considered with license-free …

Drone-assisted mobile networks have been proposed to quickly and flexibly deploy drones
over any places of interest (PoI) to relay traffic between a remote terrestrial base station …

To provide wireless access in regions without infrastructure coverage, we study a UAV-
enabled mobile relaying system in which an intelligent UAV is employed to help in …
