Beyond the RF Paradigm: Rydberg Atomic Receivers for Next-Generation IoT
Qihao Peng, Qu Luo, Dongnan Xia +11
Next-generation Internet-of-Things (IoT) is evolving toward a ubiquitous, ultra-low-power, and multi-band heterogeneous networking paradigm that seamlessly integrates terrestrial,…
Environment-Aware Network-Level Design of Generalized Pinching-Antenna Systems--Part II: Geometry-Aware Case
Yanqing Xu, Zhiguo Ding, Xiu Yin Zhang +2
This two-part paper aims to develop an environment-aware network-level design framework for generalized pinching-antenna systems to overcome the limitations of conventional link-le…
Environment-Aware Network-Level Design of Generalized Pinching-Antenna Systems--Part I: Traffic-Aware Case
Yanqing Xu, Zhiguo Ding, Xiu Yin Zhang +2
Existing studies on generalized pinching-antenna systems are predominantly link-level, which optimize system parameters for a given user set with objectives defined by per-user per…
Comparative Analysis of Differential and Collision Entropy for Finite-Regime QKD in Hybrid Quantum Noisy Channels
Mouli Chakraborty, Subhash Chandra, Avishek Nag +3
In this work, a comparative study between three fundamental entropic measures, differential entropy, quantum Renyi entropy, and quantum collision entropy for a hybrid quantum chann…
