Rethinking Fronthaul Topologies for Cell-Free 6G Networks
Max Franke, Arash Pourdamghani, Fabian Göttsch +2
Due to significant progress in physical layer (PHY) technologies, future 6G networks are expected to feature much denser antenna deployments. Cell-free MIMO network designs are one…
Measuring Weather Effects and Link Quality Dynamics in LEO Satellite Networks
Clemens Lottermoser, Simon Damm, Stefan Schmid
This paper presents an empirical study of dynamic factors affecting link quality in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications, using Starlink as a case study. Over 56 days, 11…
A Tutorial on Controlling Metasurfaces from the Network Perspective
Christos Liaskos, Evangelos Papapetrou, Kostas Katsalis +6
Metasurfaces have emerged as transformative electromagnetic structures for wireless communications, enabling the real-time control over wave propagation, yielding potential for imp…
Optimizing Fronthaul Quantization for Flexible User Load in Cell-Free Massive MIMO
Fabian Göttsch, Max Franke, Arash Pourdamghani +2
We investigate the physical layer (PHY) spectral efficiency and fronthaul network load of a scalable user-centric cell-free massive MIMO system. Each user-centric cluster processor…
An Optimization Driven Link SINR Assurance in RIS-assisted Indoor Networks
Cao Vien Phung, Max Franke, Ehsan Tohidi +5
Future smart factories are expected to deploy applications over high-performance indoor wireless channels in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands, which on the other hand are suscept…
