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: 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…
Experimental Evaluation of a UAV-Mounted LEO Satellite Backhaul for Emergency Connectivity
Mattia Figaro, Francesco Rossato, Alexander Bonora +3
Reliable connectivity is critical for Public Protection and Disaster Relief operations, especially in rural or compromised environments where terrestrial infrastructure is unavaila…
Network-Aware Control of AGVs in an Industrial Scenario: A Simulation Study Based on ROS 2 and Gazebo
Filippo Bragato, Tullia Fontana, Marco Giordani +3
Networked Control System (NCS) is a paradigm where sensors, controllers, and actuators communicate over a shared network. One promising application of NCS is the control of Automat…
Performance Evaluation of LoRa for IoT Applications in Non-Terrestrial Networks via ns-3
Alessandro Traspadini, Michele Zorzi, Marco Giordani
The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) has emerged as a key paradigm to provide connectivity for sensors and actuators via satellite gatewa…
