This paper presents a real-time handover and link assignment framework for low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite networks operating in dense urban canyons. The proposed Markov chain-guided simulated annealing (MCSA) algorithm optimizes user-to-satellite as...
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams exhibit divergence during transmission, which constrains the capacity of communication system channels. To address these challenges, intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs), which can independently manipulate incid...
Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) play a critical role in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), enabling communication between vehicles and roadside infrastructure. This paper proposes an Adaptive Context-Aware VANET Routing (ACAVR) protocol des...
This paper investigates cooperative behavior among Autonomous Systems (ASs) within a federated network environment designed to support collaborative shared-technology deployment. It makes use of the concept of an AS federation, where independently ma...
As network automation and self-organizing networks (SONs) rapidly evolve, edge devices increasingly demand lightweight, real-time, and high-precision classification algorithms to support critical tasks such as traffic identification, intrusion detect...
Elastic optical networks (EONs) must allocate resources dynamically to accommodate heterogeneous, high-bandwidth demands. However, the continuous setup and teardown of connections with different bit rates can fragment the spectrum and lead to blockin...
Connected and Autonomous Vehicles are promising for advancing traffic safety and efficiency. However, the increased connectivity makes these vehicles vulnerable to a broad array of cyber threats. This paper presents a novel hybrid approach for intrus...
As 5G and beyond networks grow in heterogeneity, complexity, and scale, traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) struggle to maintain accurate and precise detection mechanisms. A promising alternative approach to this problem has involved the us...
The successful integration of Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks (T/NTNs) in 6G is poised to revolutionize demanding domains like Earth Observation (EO) and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). Still, it requires Distributed Machine Learn...
The Internet of Things allows us to implement concepts such as Education 4.0 by connecting sensors, actuators, and applications. In the case of direct and explicit connections, we refer to ensembles that can consist of devices and applications. When...
