User-Mobility-Aware Optimization of Fiber Placement in Hybrid Fiber-IAB Networks

Piotr Lechowicz, Charitha Madapatha, Carlos Natalino +2

Metaheuristic optimization of hybrid fiber-IAB networks demonstrates that integrating user dynamics into topology design enables more adaptive and cost-efficient backhaul architect…

Energy-Efficient FSO Reconfiguration under User Mobility in Hybrid Fiber-IAB Backhaul

Piotr Lechowicz, Charitha Madapatha, Carlos Natalino +2

User mobility creates stochastic, time-varying backhaul demand that static capacity provisioning cannot match. We propose a closed-loop, load-aware hysteresis controller for hybrid…

Joint Fiber and Free Space Optical Infrastructure Planning for Hybrid Integrated Access and Backhaul Networks

Charitha Madapatha, Piotr Lechowicz, Carlos Natalino +2

Integrated access and backhaul (IAB) is one of the promising techniques for 5G networks and beyond (6G), in which the same node/hardware is used to provide both backhaul and cellul…

A Comparison between Network-Controlled Repeaters and Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces

Hao Guo, Charitha Madapatha, Behrooz Makki +4

Network-controlled repeater (NCR) has been recently considered as a study-item in 3GPP Release 18, and the discussions are continuing in a work-item. In this paper, we introduce th…
