RIS-Assisted Proactive Handover for Reliable mmWave Wireless Networks
Alaa Adnan, Mohammad Al-Quraan, Ahmed Zoha +5
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks are highly susceptible to line-of-sight (LoS) blockages. Vision-aided wireless communications (VAWC) enable proactive handovers (PHO) to mitigate…
Integrated Localization, Mapping, and Communication through VCSEL-Based Light-emitting RIS (LeRIS)
Rashid Iqbal, Dimitrios Bozanis, Dimitrios Tyrovolas +5
Light-emitting reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (LeRISs) have recently emerged as a promising solution for providing the spatial awareness required for reliable millimeter-wave…
Blockchain-Empowered Immutable and Reliable Delivery Service (BIRDS) Using UAV Networks
Sana Hafeez, Habib Ullah Manzoor, Lina Mohjazi +3
Exploiting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for delivery services is expected to reduce delivery time and human resource costs. However, the proximity of these UAVs to the ground ca…
Proactive Blockage Prediction for UAV assisted Handover in Future Wireless Network
Iftikhar Ahmad, Ahsan Raza Khan, Abdul Jabbar +6
The future wireless communication applications demand seamless connectivity, higher throughput, and low latency, for which the millimeter-wave (mmWave) band is considered a potenti…
Leveraging IRS Induced Time Delay for Enhanced Physical Layer Security in VLC Systems
Rashid Iqbal, Mauro Biagi, Ahmed Zoha +2
Indoor visible light communication (VLC) is considered secure against attackers outside the confined area where the light propagates, but it is still susceptible to interception fr…
