Average Finite-Blocklength Packet Error Rate over Nakagami- Fading via a Logistic--Lerch Approximation
Aamir Mahmood
Evaluating the average packet error rate (PER) of finite-blocklength (FBL) coded transmission over fading requires integrating the block-error waterfall, given by the normal approx…
Predictive Triggering for Outage-Resilient Threshold Decisions over Short-Packet Links
Nho-Duc Tran, Aamir Mahmood, Mikael Gidlund
Remote threshold decisions require more than accurate state estimates: the posterior must support reliable alarm/no-alarm decisions and, when possible, anticipate early critical de…
Lightweight Non-Line-of-Sight Channel Detection for ML-assisted Bluetooth Direction Finding
Hamed Talebian, Aamir Mahmood, Mehdi Haghshenas +3
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) direction-finding is promising for indoor industrial localization, but its accuracy degrades in multipath environments where reflections and scattering b…
A Robust 5G Terrestrial Positioning System with Sensor Fusion in GNSS-denied Scenarios
Hamed Talebian, Nazrul Mohamed Nazeer, Darius Chmieliauskas +5
This paper presents a terrestrial localization system based on 5G infrastructure as a viable alternative to GNSS, particularly in scenarios where GNSS signals are obstructed or una…
Integrating HAPS, LEO, and Terrestrial Networks: A Cost-Performance Study for IoT Connectivity
Jean Michel de Souza Sant'Ana, Felipe Augusto Tondo, Nurul Huda Mahmood +1
This work evaluates the potential of High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites as alternative or complementary systems to enhance Internet of Thin…
L-Moment-Based LOS and NLOS Channel Characterization via Four-parameter Kappa Distribution for AoA BLE CTE Measurements
Hamed Talebian, Aamir Mahmood, Mikael Gidlund
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) CTE transmissions provide in-phase and quadrature (IQ) samples whose empirical statistics are strongly governed by the propagation regime. in particular,…
