Highly compact UWB-MIMO antenna with sharp multi-stop band characteristics

With multi-band rejection characteristics, a new low-profile antenna of size 34 × 34 mm2 is conferred in this article. It consists of quad identical monopole elements (originated orthogonally), contributing ultra-wideband characteristics in the system. The single unit of the proposed design consists of a modified spinning-top shape radiator (MSTSR), excited by a tapered...

ChirpPair: packet acquisition in uncoordinated access channels of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks provide global data service coverage and has become increasingly popular. Uncoordinated access channels reduce data latency in LEO networks by allowing user terminals to transmit data packets at random times to the satellite without any coordination overhead. In this paper, packet acquisition in uncoordinated access channels of LEO...

A multi path routing protocol with efficient energy consumption in IoT applications real time traffic

The extensive utilization of IoT applications leads to the aggregation of a substantial volume of data, presenting a crucial challenge in terms of data routing within these networks. RPL intentionally surpasses the limitations sometimes observed in low-power and lossy networks, which are particularly prevalent in IoT networks. The RPL protocol is designed specifically for static...

Performance analysis of partial NOMA-based layered D2D communications

Conventionally, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has traditionally been implemented separately from orthogonal multiple access (OMA), aiming to improve the capacity of multi-user systems. However, a recent study has ventured beyond this conventional approach by integrating OMA and NOMA proportionally within the same system. In spite of these advancements, the consideration...

Ant colony optimization-based solution to optimize load balancing and throughput for 5G and beyond heterogeneous networks

The escalating demand for data in wireless communication systems has posed significant challenges in recent years. This trend is predicted to continue, with explosive data usage and evolving quality of service demands from mobile users. The rapid increase in traffic demand, combined with the intricate nature of heterogeneous network (HetNet) scenarios, has significantly...

Improving power efficiency in 6G wireless communication networks through reconfigurable intelligent surfaces for different phase information

With increasing needs for high-bitrate, ultra-reliability, spectral efficiency, power efficiency, and reducing latency in the wireless network, global studies on the sixth generation of this network began in 2020. In this paper, we will look at intelligent reconfigurable surface structure and its application in new promising physical layer technologies, such as terahertz...

Multi-armed bandit approach for mean field game-based resource allocation in NOMA networks

Facing the exponential demand for massive connectivity and the scarcity of available resources, next-generation wireless networks have to meet very challenging performance targets. Particularly, the operators have to cope with the continuous prosperity of the Internet of things (IoT) along with the ever-increasing deployment of machine-type devices (MTDs). In this regard, due to...

Enabling resilient UAV swarms through multi-hop wireless communications

In the last decade, the popularity of UAVs, colloquially known as drones, has increased tremendously. Nowadays, drones are used in a wide range of use-cases, such as precision agriculture, surveillance, and photography. Many of these use-cases can be made more efficient if multiple UAVs are used cooperatively (i.e., in a swarm). To achieve this, communication between the UAVs is...

Optimal station placement based on grey wolf optimizer for regional target localization

The accuracy of target passive localization is influenced by the placement of signal receiving stations; therefore, many studies have been performed to optimize station placement. However, most of the present placement methods focus on the localization error of one target, and if the exact position of the target cannot be determined, but only the range of the target activity is...
