We introduce a model for capturing the effects of beam misdirection on coverage and
throughput in a directional wireless network using stochastic geometry. In networks …

This paper introduces a class of programmable metamaterials, whose electromagnetic
properties can be controlled via software. These software defined metamaterials (SDMs) …

Using free-space optics (FSO) in the mobile fronthaul/backhaul networks is a promising
solution that can potentially enhance the capacity of mobile networks. The main challenge of …

In this paper, we present new models and algorithms for control and optimization of a class
of next generation communication networks: Hierarchical Heterogeneous Wireless Networks …

In this paper, a distributed linear MPC approach to solve the trajectory planning problem for
rotary-wing UAVs is proposed, where the objective of the UAV system is to form a …

Optical beams propagating through the turbulent atmospheric channel suffer from both the
attenuation and phase distortion. Since future wireless networks are envisaged to be …

The dynamic nature of aerial networks often results in poor network performance from an
end-user perspective due to frequent and extended link outages. With growing expectations …

Given n source nodes and k relay nodes, we model the optimal relay topology problem
allowing for simultaneous optimization of the relay node locations and traffic through the …

This work presents an approach to multiple access for free-space laser communication
(lasercom) called space-time division multiple access, which aggregates traffic from multiple …

Due to the agility, low-cost and robustness, UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) Ad Hoc
Networks formed by small UAVs have popular application in the battlefield. Considering the …
