Sea Trial Validation of the ROS-DESERT Middleware with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Davide Cosimo, Davide Costa, Riccardo Costanzi +3
This paper presents a modular software architecture that enables environmental-aware coordination of heterogeneous Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to improve underwater acous…
End-to-End Simulation of 5G NR Integrated Access and Backhaul Networks for Remote Maritime Connectivity
Alessandro Traspadini, Matteo Pagin, Raphaël Ihamouine +4
Millimeter wave (mmWave) 5th generation (5G) networks offer high data rates but face coverage challenges due to severe path loss and blockage. These problems motivate the use of In…
Toward EU Sovereignty in Space: A Comparative Simulation Study of IRIS 2 and Starlink
Alexander Bonora, Marco Giordani, Michele Zorzi
The evolution of 6th generation (6G) networks increasingly relies on satellite-based Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) to extend broadband connectivity to remote and unserved regions…
A Joint Reinforcement Learning Scheduling and Compression Framework for Teleoperated Driving
Giacomo Avanzi, Marco Giordani, Michele Zorzi
Teleoperated driving (TD) is envisioned as a key application of future sixth generation (6G) networks. In this paradigm, connected vehicles transmit sensor-perception data to a rem…
5G NR Non-Terrestrial Networks: Open Challenges for Full-Stack Protocol Design
Francesco Rossato, Mattia Figaro, Alessandro Traspadini +7
As 5th generation (5G) networks continue to evolve, there is a growing interest toward the integration of Terrestrial Networks (TNs) and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs). Specifical…
5G NR Non-Terrestrial Networks: From Early Results to the Road Ahead
Mattia Figaro, Francesco Rossato, Marco Giordani +7
This paper overviews the 3GPP 5G NR-NTN standard, detailing the evolution from Rel. 18 to 19 and innovations for Rel. 20. Using realistic ns-3 simulations validated against 3GPP ca…
