Sidelink in cellular networks enables direct exchange of data packets between devices without the need for network infrastructure, resulting in various benefits, including communication in out-of-coverage areas and potential significantly reduced latency
In this report, we introduce a framework to analyze, monitor, and identify the state of industrial wireless networks and their impact on industrial use cases. This framework is based on a deep learning approach for modeling the interactions between the
The massive digital information generated in conjunction with the ever-increasing phasor measurement data in the power grid has led to a tremendous constraint on the analysis and timely processing of real-time data. Under these conditions, leveraging

Doubly parametric quantum transducers (DPTs), such as electro-optomechanical devices, show promise as quantum interconnects between the optical and microwave domains, thereby enabling long-distance quantum networks between superconducting qubit systems
Smart and highly automated factories rely on time sensitive networks (TSNs) to coordinate the actions of robots working together to complete a task. The dense layout of metallic objects on the factory floor creates a complex electromagnetic environment

The next generation WiFi such as IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11ay can provide stringent Quality of Service (QoS) due to its support of contention free channel access called Service Period. IEEE 802.11ad supports two types of user traffic: isochronous and
In this paper, we present a ray tracing (RT) assisted multipath cluster association method. This work is based on an indoor channel measurement at 60 GHz, where a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor was co-located with channel sounder and time
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) require seamless integration of physical and computation components through communication networks. They often contain sub-systems from different physical domains (e.g., electrical, mechanical, and electronic) that must

Time-sensitive networking (TSN) is emerging as a viable means to achieving deterministic quality of service (QoS) communications within mission critical industrial applications such as feedback control systems, robotics, and precision sensing and actuation
We present an exploration of the time parameters observed in measurements performed at 13 residential sites from June 2020 through September 2021. This discussion is undertaken from the perspective of application to electromagnetic immunity testing for
In recent work, we proposed sweeping the antennas of phased arrays and beamforming in postprocessing – what we coined switched beamforming – instead of sweeping beams through analog beamforming – what the arrays are designed for. Not only is it orders of
This paper presents the software-defined management system of DC-QNet, a quantum network testbed deployed across multiple distant sites. The system uses a network management system (NMS) to manage the optical network, the classical IP network, and the

We experimentally demonstrate a quantum-measurement-based receiver for a range of modulation schemes and alphabet lengths in a telecom C-band. We attain symbol error rates below the shot noise limit for all the studied modulation schemes and the alphabet
The purpose of this executive summary is to provide key stakeholders with relevant information about how PSCR spent Public Safety Trust Funds and the impacts of that funding. Furthermore, this report seeks to demonstrate the value and positive outcomes of
Beam tracking is a core issue in 5G vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks. Specifically, higher beamforming gain is required to compensate for the path loss at higher frequencies, e.g., 5G FR2, to realize high data rate vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I)
Sub-THz-based communication needs ultra-large antenna arrays to generate pencil-like beams under the stringent requirements of line-of-sight (LoS) to overcome the effect of the rapid attenuation of signal strength, including atmospheric attenuation. In
