Future Wireless Communications Systems and Protocols

Ongoing
​ Millimeter wave Communication Systems and Protocols 5G and beyond wireless communication systems make use of the Millimeter-Wave (mmWave) band. While this band offers unprecedented throughput thanks to the large bandwidth available, it also suffers from larger propagation loss compared to the sub

Advanced DDoS Mitigation Techniques

Ongoing
Background In recent years the threat of DDoS) attacks on the Internet seems to be significantly increasing. The rapidly growing threat can be characterized by the orders of magnitude increases in the bandwidth of such attacks (from 100s of millions bits per second, to 100s of billions bits per
