Interactive Visible Light Communications (iVLC)
The concept of interactive visible light communications (iVLC) is introduced and discussed in this paper. iVLC exploits a matrix of solid-state light […]
Admission Control in 5G Networks for the Coexistence of eMBB-URLLC Users
In this paper, we consider the problem of admission control in 5G networks where enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) users and ultra-reliable low-latency […]
An Initial Access Optimization Algorithm for millimeter Wave 5G NR Networks
The millimeter wave (mmWave) communication uses directional antennas. Hence, achieving fine alignment of transmit and receive beams at the initial access phase […]
Large intelligent surface for positioning in millimeter wave MIMO systems
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system for the fifth generation (5G) cellular communications can also enable single-anchor positioning and object tracking due […]
Iterative Bayesian-based Localization Mechanism for Industry Verticals
We propose and evaluate an iterative localization mechanism employing Bayesian inference to estimate the position of a target using received signal strength […]
How subtle can it get?
Flying drones have become common objects in our daily lives, serving a multitude of purposes. Many of these purposes involve outdoor scenarios […]
Band bending and valence band quantization at line defects in MoS2
The variation of the electronic structure normal to 1D defects in quasi-freestanding MoS₂, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, is investigated through high […]
A vibrational energy harvester based on soft-nonlinearity for truly random excitation
In this paper, we present a nonlinear energy harvester that is based on a “soft-mode” nonlinearity and is able to work in […]
An integrated 9×9 SPAD array with a 10-channel TDC and a CMOS laser diode driver for a wearable time-domain diffuse optics optode
A 9×9 Single-Photon Avalanche Photodiode (SPAD) array with a 10-channel time-to-digital converter and an integrated laser diode driver fabricated in 0.35 μm […]
Rapid fault diagnosis of photovoltaic panels under outdoor environmental conditions
This paper investigates opportunities to rapidly detect defects in photovoltaic (PV) panels. It is worth noting that a defect in a single […]
