With the development of next-generation wireless networks, the Internet of Things (IoT) is evolving towards the intelligent IoT (iIoT), where intelligent applications usually have stringent delay and jitter requirements. In order to provide lowlatency
The COrona VIrus Disease – 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a profound effect on the entire world. With the onset of the pandemic in 2020, also started various efforts around the world to automate the contact tracing process to increase its efficacy. Most
Future Networks, Beyond 5G and 6G, will continue to expand in scale, complexity and interconnectivity, and will be highly shaped by distributed systems that serve various use cases that go beyond current Use Cases like mMTC (massive Machine Type
This paper describes the efforts of the NIST Cloud Computing Program in the development of understanding the federated cloud concept through the creation of a reference architecture, cooperation with the IEEE and resulting in the publication IEEE 2302-2021

A quantum network linking superconducting quantum computers would enable highly sought-after applications such as distributed quantum computing. Optical photons are the natural way of encoding information for long distance communication; however
The millimeter-wave (mmWave) channel is often assumed to be sparse due to significant diffraction losses compared to microwave bands resulting in fewer paths reaching the receiver. While the sparsity property has been used in a significant amount of
In this paper, we prove a compressive sensing guarantee for restricted measurement domains in spherical near-field to far-field transformations for antenna metrology. We achieve this by first defining Slepian functions on a measurement sub-domain $R$ of

Since the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specified 5G New Radio (NR) sidelink in Release 16, researchers have been expressing increasing interest in sidelink in various research areas, such as Proximity Services (ProSe) and Vehicle-to
We derive a theoretically guaranteed compressive sensing method for acoustic field reconstructions using spherical field measurements on a predefined grid. This method can be used to reconstruct sparse band-limited spherical harmonic or Wigner $D$-function

Telecommunication testbeds are a fundamental tool in communication research, enabling prototyping and validating new ideas. Unfortunately, these testbeds are often highly complex, costly, and challenging to operate, requiring simultaneous Open System
In this paper, we report on a software-defined radio (SDR) based test setup to emulate and evaluate the performance of a few wireless coexistence scenarios. The first case we study consists of two long-term evolution (LTE) downlink channels from adjacent
