Process-Aware Cross-Layer Adaptation for O-RAN-Enabled Industrial Systems
Elahe Delavari, Junaid Farooq, M. Majid Butt +1
Wireless networks increasingly support closed-loop industrial applications in which sensed data must be transmitted, processed, and converted into an action before physical process…
Temporally Encoded Double DQN for Proactive PRB Allocation in O-RAN Enabled Industrial Networks
Elahe Delavari, Xingqi Wu, Junaid Farooq
Fifth-generation (5G) wireless systems are increasingly adopted in smart manufacturing to support heterogeneous industrial workloads through services such as enhanced Mobile Broadb…
Jamming-Resilient PRB Reservation for Latency-Critical O-RAN Network Slicing
Elahe Delavari, Junaid Farooq
Open radio access network (O-RAN) architectures enable near real-time, software-driven control of network slicing through programmable xApps deployed on the near-real-time RAN Inte…
Rao-Blackwellized Coverage Estimation in Poisson Networks: A High-Fidelity Hybrid Framework
Sunder Ram Krishnan, Junaid Farooq, Kumar Vijay Mishra +3
While stochastic geometry provides a powerful framework for the analysis of cellular networks, standard Monte Carlo simulations often suffer from slow convergence due to the stocha…
Differentiable Architecture Search for Adversarially Robust Quantum Computer Vision
Mohamed Afane, Quanjiang Long, Haoting Shen +4
Current quantum neural networks suffer from extreme sensitivity to both adversarial perturbations and hardware noise, creating a significant barrier to real-world deployment. Exist…
Cyber Resilience in Next-Generation Networks: Threat Landscape, Theoretical Foundations, and Design Paradigms
Junaid Farooq, Quanyan Zhu
The evolution of networked systems, driven by innovations in software-defined networking (SDN), network function virtualization (NFV), open radio access networks (O-RAN), and cloud…
