Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASNs) are pivotal for environmental monitoring, surveillance, and marine data collection. However, their open and largely unattended operational settings, constrained communication capabilities, limited energy re...
This paper presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on green scheduling and task offloading strategies for energy optimization in edge computing environments. The evolution of low-latency, high-performance applications has driven the widespread...
The constant growth of IP data traffic, driven by sustained annual increases surpassing 26%, is pushing current optical transport infrastructures towards their capacity limits. Since the deployment of new fiber cables is economically demanding, ultra...
This study investigates radio-frequency signal propagation in underground metro tunnels with a focus on distributed antenna system (DAS) deployment. Deterministic simulations were performed using Altair WinProp 2024.1 (ProMan) with a 3D ray-tracing e...
In the realm of high-speed Ethernet networks, alien crosstalk (AXT) significantly undermines the integrity and efficiency of data transmission. While existing works mostly focus on modeling and physical-layer mitigation techniques such as PAM16/DSQ12...
Digital twin systems are becoming an important tool in intelligent transportation management, as they provide simulation-based environments for monitoring, analyzing, and predicting traffic behavior. However, the predictive performance of traffic dig...
Limited terrestrial network coverage in rural and remote areas constitutes a significant barrier to the digital transformation of the agricultural sector. Smart and precision farming applications, ranging from conventional environmental monitoring sy...
Traffic forecasting in cellular networks is a challenging spatiotemporal prediction problem due to strong temporal dependencies, spatial heterogeneity across cells, and the need for scalability to large network deployments. Traditional cell-specific...
Reliable Internet connectivity is essential for latency-sensitive services such as video conferencing, media streaming, and online gaming. Round-trip time (RTT) is a key indicator of network performance and is central to setting retransmission timeou...
Network operators increasingly rely on abstracted telemetry (e.g., flow records and time-aggregated statistics) to achieve scalable monitoring of high-speed networks, but this abstraction fundamentally constrains the forensic and security inferences...
Devices equipped with the Global Positioning System (GPS) generate massive volumes of trajectory data on a daily basis, imposing substantial computational, network, and storage burdens. Online trajectory simplification reduces redundant points in a s...
In recent years, with the improvement of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) performance, various applications have been explored. In environments such as disaster areas, where existing infrastructure may be damaged, alternative uplink communication for tr...
The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed global connectivity by linking people, smart devices, and data. However, as the number of connected devices continues to grow, ensuring secure data transmission and communication has become increasingly ch...
Efficient clustering is essential for reducing energy consumption and extending the operational lifetime of Wireless Sensor Networks. Classical protocols such as LEACH, PEGASIS, HEED, and EEHC frequently exhibit unbalanced energy usage, resulting in...
One of the main sources of entertainment is live video streaming platforms, which allow viewers to watch video streams in real time. However, because of the increasing demand for high quality content, the vulnerability of streaming systems against cy...
The expansion of 5G networks has led to larger attack surfaces due to more applications and use cases, more IoT connections, and the distributed 5G system architecture. Existing security frameworks often lack the ability to perform real-time, context...
Underwater networks are crucial for monitoring the marine ecosystem, enabling data collection to support the preservation and protection of natural resources. Among the various technologies available, acoustic and optical communications stand out for...
IoT applications are increasingly common, yet they often rely on expensive, externally managed authentication services. This paper introduces a novel, self-contained authentication method for IoT applications which leverages fog computing principles...
