Fixed-wing UAV relay optimization for coverage hole recovery
Daniel T. Bonkowsky, Ibrahim Kilinc, Robert W. Heath
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) fill coverage holes as wireless relays during emergency situations. Fixed-wing UAVs offer longer flight duration and larger coverage in such situati…
Heterogeneity-agnostic AI/ML-assisted beam selection for multi-panel arrays
Ibrahim Kilinc, Robert W. Heath
AI/ML-based beam selection methods coupled with location information effectively reduce beam training overhead. Unfortunately, heterogeneous antenna hardware with varying dimension…
Rethinking Beam Management: Generalization Limits Under Hardware Heterogeneity
Nikita Zeulin, Olga Galinina, Ibrahim Kilinc +2
Hardware heterogeneity across diverse user devices poses new challenges for beam-based communication in 5G and beyond. This heterogeneity limits the applicability of machine learni…
Benchmarking Neural Speech Codec Intelligibility with SITool
Anna Leschanowsky, Kishor Kayyar Lakshminarayana, Anjana Rajasekhar +4
Speech intelligibility assessment is essential for evaluating neural speech codecs, yet most evaluation efforts focus on overall quality rather than intelligibility. Only a few pub…
Beam Training in mmWave Vehicular Systems: Machine Learning for Decoupling Beam Selection
Ibrahim Kilinc, Ryan M. Dreifuerst, Junghoon Kim +1
Codebook-based beam selection is one approach for configuring millimeter wave communication links. The overhead required to reconfigure the transmit and receive beam pair, though,…
