Coordinated Multicast/Unicast Transmission on 5G: A Novel Approach for Linear Broadcasting
(Springer, 2021-09-16)Linear broadcasting services, with a scheduled programming, constitute a paramount tel-ecommunication service for today’s society. Although the existing technology is mature, current linear broadcast ... -
An enhanced symmetric-key based 5G-AKA protocol
(Elsevier, 2021)5G technology is called to support the next generation of wireless communications and realize the “Internet of Everything” through its mMTC (massive Machine-Type-Communications) service. The recently standardized 5G-AKA ... -
Energy-Efficient Packet Forwarding Scheme Based on Fuzzy Decision-Making in Underwater Sensor Networks
(MDPI, 2021-06-25)Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) are subjected to a multitude of real-life challenges. Maintaining adequate power consumption is one of the critical ones, for obvious reasons. This includes proper energy consumption ... -
Random Errors in Broadband Characterization of the Propagation Constant of Transmission Lines Using Multiple Two-Port Measurements
(IEEE Access, 2021)In this work, a comparison between three broadband methods used to estimate the propagation constant of planar transmission lines is presented. The goal of this comparison is to study how possible random measurement ... -
Parameters characterization of dielectric materials samples in microwave and millimeter-wave bands
(IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, 2021-03-06)In this work, an optimized broadband method using multilayer transmission lines to characterize dielectric permittivity and loss tangent of material samples is presented. For this purpose, a microstrip line loaded with a ... -
An energy-efficient integration of a digital modulator and a Class-D amplifier
(MDPI, 2020-08-16)Energy consumption is always a key feature in devices powered by electric accumulators. The power amplifier is the most energy-demanding module in mobile devices, portable appliances, static transceivers, and even nodes ... -
A data-driven scheduler model for QoE assessment in a LTE radio network planning tool
(2019-11-19)The use of static system-level simulators is common practice for estimating the impact of re-planning actions in cellular networks. In this paper, a modification of a classical static Long Term Evolution (LTE) simulator ... -
Self-Organizing and Scalable Routing Protocol (SOSRP) for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
(MDPI, 2019-07-16)Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks (UASN) have two important limitations: a very aggressive (marine) environment, and the use of acoustic signals. This means that the techniques for terrestrial wireless sensor networks ... -
Tilted subwavelength gratings: controlling anisotropy in metamaterial nanophotonic waveguides
(2018-10-24)Subwavelength grating (SWG) structures are an essential tool in silicon photonics, enabling the synthesis of metamaterials with a controllable refractive index. Here we propose, for the first time to the best of our ... -
Optimal scheduling and fair servicepolicy for STDMA in underwater networks with acoustic communications
(MDPI, 2018-02)In this work, a multi-hop string network with a single sink node is analyzed. A periodic optimal scheduling for TDMA operation that considers the characteristic long propagation delay of the underwater acoustic channel is ... -
The Fluctuating Two-Ray Fading Model: Statistical Characterization and Performance Analysis
(IEEE, 2017)We introduce the fluctuating two-ray (FTR) fading model, a new statistical channel model that consists of two fluctuating specular components with random phases plus a diffuse component. The FTR model arises as the natural ... -
Asymptotically Exact Approximations for the Symmetric Difference of Generalized Marcum-Q Functions
(IEEE, 2015)In this paper, we derive two simple and asymptotically exact approximations for the function defined as ΔQm(a, b) =Δ Qm(a, b) - Qm(b, a). The generalized Marcum Q-function Qm(a, b) appears in many scenarios in communications ... -
