Our article Resilience in Edge Computing: Challenges and Concepts has been accepted for publication in Foundations and Trends in Networking. Edge computing has evolved significantly from early research ideas to modern 5G mobile and multi-access edge computing (MEC). In many 6G-related projects, we see a clear trend toward virtualizing computing resources at the edge. Motivated by the cloud-edge-continuum that is the basis for next-generation metaverse applications, the need for low-latency solutions, distributed computing is now receiving even more attention. The last road blocker for the wide use of (virtualized) edge computing for mission-critical applications is resilience. In this context, resilience is the ability of modern communication and computation systems to deal with unknown and unforeseen events, both from internal and external sources. Thus, making MEC resilient to outages (e.g., system failures or energy outages due to natural disasters), security incidents (e.g., the use of intelligent jamming or malicious users), and overall challenging conditions (e.g., high mobility or impaired connectivity) is of the highest importance. In this article, we review the current state of the art of resilience in mobile edge computing. We explore MEC-specific challenges and resilience objectives, and discuss selected resilience measures. We trust that this article will be an invaluable resource for beginners and experts in the field as a compound resource on resilience in MEC.

Joana Angjo presented our paper, Achieving Resilience in mmWave Communications by Using Non-reconfigurable Reflecting Surfaces at the IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC 2025) in Milan, Italy. In this work, we show how non-reconfigurable reflecting surfaces (NRRSs) can be used towards improving resilience in mmWave communication. We build a testbed operating at 28 GHz and perform experiments that confirm that NRRSs boost communication reliability by constructing an artificial multipath environment, and they enable mmWave communication entirely via reflections.

Our article Stable Age of Information Scheduling with NOMA in Edge Networks has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Networking. In this paper, we study a stable Age-of-Information (AoI) scheduling problem to handle the massive packet aggregation from arbitrary total of n end devices (sensor nodes) to an edge device via a single hop wireless channel when information constantly arrives at the end side. Specifically, we consider the arrivals of the information with an online injection mode, i.e., information is injected to end devices with an unknown injection rate in each time slot. After the information is injected, the AoI with respect to those end devices constantly increases until their fresh messages are received by the edge device, which characterizes the freshness of the information at destination. Based on the online injection mode, we propose the first distributed stable AoI scheduling algorithm combining NOMA (Non-Orthogonal Multiple-Access) technique in this paper, to minimize the expected average peak AoI (EAP-AoI) of our end-to-edge information system.

Our article How Mature is 5G Deployment? A Cross-Sectional, Year-Long Study of 5G Uplink Performance has been accepted for publication in Elsevier Computer Communications. In this study, we aim to assess 5G deployment maturity via three conditions: (1) Does 5G performance remain stable over a long time span (1 year)? (2) Does 5G provide better performance than its predecessor Long-Term Evolution (LTE)? (3) Does the technology offer similar performance across diverse geographic areas and cellular operators? We answer this important question by conducting two year-long measurement campaigns of 5G uplink performance leveraging a custom Android app: one crowd-sourced, cross-sectional campaign spanning 8 major cities in 7 countries and two different continents (Europe and North America), and one controlled campaign focusing on mmWave deployment at a fixed location in the downtown area of Boston, MA. Our datasets show that 5G deployment in major cities appears to have matured, with no major performance improvements observed over a one-year period, but 5G does not provide consistent, superior measurable performance over LTE, especially in terms of latency, and further there exists clear uneven 5G performance across the 8 cities. Our study suggests that, while 5G deployment appears to have stagnated, it is short of delivering its promised performance and user experience gain over its predecessor.

Christos Laskos presented our paper, Wi-Fi Ranging under Interference at the IEEE International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communications (ICNC 2025) in Honolulu, HI. In this paper, we demonstrate that time of arrival (ToA)-based ranging, utilizing the MUSIC super-resolution algorithm, is severely impacted by cross-technology and co-channel interference. This is due to the fact that the channel state information (CSI) obtained in the presence of interference includes not only the characteristics of the channel but also the interference itself. This corrupted CSI leads to persistent ToA errors.

Our article Task Migration with Deadlines using Machine Learning-based Dwell Time Prediction in Vehicular Micro Clouds has been accepted for publication in Elsevier High-Confidence Computing. Edge computing is becoming ever more relevant to offload compute-heavy tasks in vehicular networks. In this context, the concept of vehicular micro clouds (VMCs) has been proposed to use compute and storage resources on nearby vehicles to complete computational tasks. As many tasks in this application domain are time critical, offloading to the cloud is prohibitive. Additionally, task deadlines have to be dealt with. This paper addresses two main challenges. First, we present a task migration algorithm supporting deadlines in vehicular edge computing. The algorithm is following the earliest deadline first model but in presence of dynamic processing resources, i.e., vehicles joining and leaving a VMC. This task offloading is very sensitive to the mobility of vehicles in a VMC, i.e., the so-called dwell time a vehicles spends in the VMC. Thus, secondly, we propose a machine learning-based solution for dwell time prediction. Our dwell time prediction model uses a random forest approach to estimate how long a vehicle will stay in a VMC. Our proposed approach is able to realize low-delay and low-failure task migration in dynamic vehicular conditions, advancing the state of the art in vehicular edge computing.

Our article Jamming-Resilient Physical-to-Virtual Communications in Digital Twin Edge Networks has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Networking. As an integration of digital twin and edge computing, the digital twin edge networks (DITENs) have been proposed in recent years to fill the gap between physical edge networks and digital systems. Meanwhile, the multi-access wireless environments in edge computing make it hard to provide ultra-reliable and low-latency communications for digital twin, especially when the jamming attacks can be launched by the adversaries. This paper studies the jamming-resilient physical-to-virtual communication (PTVC) problem in DITENs despite strong cooperative jamming. Note that the previous jamming models mainly focus on the jamming behaviors from an individual adversary and are restricted by the energy budget limitation and uniform jamming assumption. In this paper, we consider a more comprehensive jamming model, in which f adversaries can cooperatively launch their jamming attacks in totally kwireless channels with unlimited power budget and non-uniform jamming signals. Both of the theoretical results and empirical simulations are conducted to show the resilience of our algorithms despite such a strong cooperative jamming model.

Our article XAInomaly: Explainable and Interpretable Deep Contractive Autoencoder for O-RAN has been accepted for publication in Elsevier Computer Networks. Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have become integral part in advancing next generation wireless communication systems by enabling sophisticated data modeling and feature extraction for enhanced network performance. In the realm of open radio access networks (O-RAN), characterized by their disaggregated architecture and heterogeneous components from multiple vendors, the deployment of generative models offers significant advantages for network management such as traffic analysis, traffic forecasting and anomaly detection. In this study, we introduce the XAInomaly framework, an explainable and interpretable Semi-supervised (SS) Deep Contractive Autoencoder (DeepCAE) design for anomaly detection in O-RAN. Our approach leverages the generative modeling capabilities of our SS-DeepCAE model to learn compressed, robust representations of normal network behavior, which captures essential features, enabling the identification of deviations indicative of anomalies. To address the black-box nature of deep learning models, we propose reactive Explainable AI (XAI) technique called fastshap-C, which is providing transparency into the model's decision-making process and highlighting the features contributing to anomaly detection.

Our article Fast Identification and Clustering of Multi-Path Components for Multi-band Industrial Wireless Channels has been accepted for publication in International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies. Multi-path components are both the challenge and the resources to exploit in high-frequency wireless communication, especially in environment with complex reflections. To this end, identifying and clustering multi-path components is the foundation in tackling the challenges and boosting the utilization with reliable and correct information. Past research focuses either on extracting the path information, or on clustering the extracted components. In this paper, we propose a complete work flow that performs identification as well as clustering of multi-path components. We extend our previous work in clustering algorithm to indoor propagation measurements of three different frequency bands, as well as multiple transmitter-receiver locations. The ease of application highlights the wide-applying potential of high-frequency communication.

Our article Empowering Smart Factories with O-RAN has been accepted for publication in IEEE Communications Standards Magazine. It is envisioned that 6G mobile networks will enhance and majorly empower the Industry 4.0 paradigm, evolving towards smart factories with optimized and customized services. Especially the smart factory scenario with high-capacity data communication, which requires the usage of new portions of the electromagnetic spectrum (mmWave/sub-THz), is presenting us with new challenges, both in communications and networking. This article discusses the new challenges arising from high-capacity data communications in smart factories. It proposes extensions to the current Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) standards for 6G networks to enable further evolution of Industry 4.0 and beyond. We motivate the need for real-time functionalities in O-RAN and an extended interface to the user equipment (UE) to allow for its fine-grained control.New staff member: Simon Schmitz-Heinen

Our article Toward Standardized Performance Evaluation of Flow-guided Nanoscale Localization has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological and Multi-Scale Communications. Nanoscale devices with Terahertz (THz) communication capabilities are envisioned to be deployed within human bloodstreams. Associating the locations of biomarkers with events such as health conditions would provide an additional utility for precision diagnostics and treatment. This vision yielded a new class of in-body localization coined under the term "flow-guided nanoscale localization". We propose a workflow for standardized performance evaluation of such approaches. The workflow is implemented in the form of an open-source simulation framework that is able to jointly account for the mobility of the nanodevices, in-body THz communication with on-body anchors, and energy-related and other technological constraints (e.g., pulse-based modulation) at the nanodevice level.

Christos Laskos presented our paper Towards Virtual to Real-world Transfer Learning for Mobile mmWave Beam Tracking at the IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM 2024), which was held in Cape Town, South Africa. In this paper, we show the feasibility of virtual to real-world transfer learning. Our solution significantly speeds up the learning process as the learning happens mostly in a simulated environment and requires only little additional learning in the real-world deployment. As proof-of-concept, we implemented and evaluated a low-complexity beam tracking based on deep Q-network (DQN) reinforcement learning. The results reveal a substantial speed-up by a factor of 3× using transfer learning.

Our article Biasing Federated Learning with A New Adversarial Graph Attention Network has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. Fairness in Federated Learning (FL) is imperative not only for the ethical utilization of technology but also for ensuring that models provide accurate, equitable, and beneficial outcomes across varied user demographics and equipment. This paper proposes a new adversarial architecture, referred to as Adversarial Graph Attention Network (AGAT), which deliberately instigates fairness attacks with an aim to bias the learning process across the FL. The proposed AGAT is developed to synthesize malicious, biasing model updates, where the minimum of Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between the user's model update and the global model is maximized. Due to a limited set of labeled input-output biasing data samples, a surrogate model is created, which presents the behavior of a complex malicious model update. Moreover, a graph autoencoder (GAE) is designed within the AGAT architecture, which is trained together with sub-gradient descent to reconstruct manipulatively the correlations of the model updates, and maximize the reconstruction loss while keeping the malicious, biasing model updates undetectable. The proposed AGAT attack is implemented in PyTorch, showing experimentally that AGAT successfully increases the minimum value of KL divergence of benign model updates by 60.9% and bypasses the detection of existing defense models. The source code of the AGAT attack is released on GitHub.

Our article AI/ML-based Services and Applications for 6G-Connected and Autonomous Vehicles has been accepted for publication in Elsevier Computer Networks. AI and ML emerge as pivotal in overcoming the limitations of traditional network optimization techniques and conventional control loop designs, particularly in addressing the challenges of high mobility and dynamic vehicular communications inherent in the domain of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). The survey explores the contributions of novel AI/ML techniques in the field of CAVs, also in the context of innovative deployment of multilevel cloud systems and edge computing as strategic solutions to meet the requirements of high traffic density and mobility in CAV networks. These technologies are instrumental in curbing latency and alleviating network congestion by facilitating proximal computing resources to CAVs, thereby enhancing operational efficiency also when AI-based applications require computationally-heavy tasks. A significant focus of this survey is the anticipated impact of 6G technology, which promises to revolutionize the mobility industry. 6G is envisaged to foster intelligent, cooperative, and sustainable mobility environments, heralding a new era in vehicular communication and network management. This survey comprehensively reviews the latest advancements and potential applications of AI/ML for CAVs, including sensory perception enhancement, real-time traffic management, and personalised navigation.

Our article Survey on Coherent Multiband Splicing Techniques for Wideband Channel Characterization has been accepted for publication in IET Communications. Coherent multi-band splicing is an optimal solution for extending existing band-limited communication systems to support high-precision sensing applications. Conceptually, the communication system performs narrow-band measurements at different center frequencies, which are then concatenated to increase the effective bandwidth without altering the sampling rate. This can be done in parallel for multiple non-contiguous subbands or by hopping across the different bands. However, multi-band splicing poses significant challenges, particularly in compensating for phase offsets and hardware distortions before stitching the acquired samples, which can be distributed in contiguous or non-contiguous manners. In this survey paper, we study the state of the art in coherent multi-band splicing and identify open research questions. For beginners in the field, this review serves as a guide to the most relevant literature, enabling them to quickly catch up with the current achievements. For experts, we highlight open research questions that require further investigation.

Our article LiFi for Industry 4.0: Main Features, Implementation and Initial Testing of IEEE Std 802.15.13 has been accepted for publication in IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology. As industrial communication is developed further to increase flexibility through wireless communication, networked optical wireless communications (OWC), also known as LiFi, emerges as a promising candidate technology due to its unlicensed spectrum and relatively deterministic propagation. This paper outlines the features of the new IEEE Std 802.15.13-2013 for OWC and presents details of our prototype implementation thereof as well as first experiments. Our prototype includes a central coordinator, realized purely in software, running on commodity server hardware. It connects to distributed ceiling-mounted optical wireless frontends via a packet-switched network (Ethernet) and is able of forming them into adaptive virtual cells on a per-user basis. This approach enables improved reliability through multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission and smooth mobility. We implemented the Pulsed Modulation PHY (PM-PHY) on a commercially available field programmable gate array (FPGA) evaluation board. Initial test results indicate that the PM-PHY covers typical distances of up to 6 m between the ceiling and the mobile device. The MAC can realize zero packet loss besides deterministic latency values below 4 ms.

Our article Byzantine Fault Tolerant Consensus in Open Wireless Networks via an Abstract MAC Layer has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Communications. The openness of wireless networks opens the door to Byzantine attacks on the physical channels, making the communications unreliable and resulting in more challenges in achieving consensus among mobile devices. To address this issue, this paper studies the Byzantine-fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus problem based on an unreliable Byzantine communication model. Different from the previous works requiring stable communications between the honest nodes, considering the unreliable communication makes our problem more realistic but also harder. Based on the unreliable communication model, we first implement a BFT abstract MAC (absMAC) layer with a distributed and randomized multi-channel communication algorithm.

Our article Distributed Age-of-Information Scheduling with NOMA via Deep Reinforcement Learning has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. Many emerging applications in edge computing require processing of huge volumes of data generated by end devices, using the freshest available information. In this paper, we address the distributed optimization of multi-user long-term average Age-of-Information (AoI) objectives in edge networks that use NOMA transmission. This poses a challenge of non-convex online optimization, which in existing work often requires either decision making in a combinatorial space or a global view of entire network states. To overcome this challenge, we propose a reinforcement learning-based framework that adopts a novel hierarchical decomposition of decision making. Specifically, we propose three different types of distributed agents to learn with respect to efficiency of AoI scheduling, fairness of AoI scheduling, as well as a high-level policy balancing these potentially conflicting design objectives.

Our article Efficient UAV Hovering, Resource Allocation, and Trajectory Design for ISAC with Limited Backhaul Capacity has been accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications. In this paper, we investigate the joint resource allocation and trajectory design for a multi-user, multi-target unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, where the link capacity between a ground base station (BS) and the UAV is limited. We jointly optimize the UAV trajectory, UAV velocity, beamforming for the communication users, power allocated to the sensing beam, and time of hovering for sensing to minimize the power consumption of the UAV while ensuring the communication quality of service (QoS) and successful sensing.

Our article Energy-Aware Cooperative Spectrum Sensing under Ignorance on Internet of Mobile Things has been accepted for publication in IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society. The Internet of Things (IoT) enables the interconnection of multiple devices, typically sharing network resources. To extend the network lifetime, cooperative strategies have been proposed that modify the device operations between the ON/OFF states to conserve energy. However, the challenge is selecting active devices for spectrum sensing increases with mobile agents, referred to as Internet of Mobile Things (IoMT), since their positions may be unknown. To deal with this uncertainty, we propose using the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator, which provides a framework for decision-making under ignorance, to model the position uncertainty resulting from node movement.

Taking the concrete example of the state-of-the-art Video-Haptic multiplexer (VH-multiplexer), we highlight the pitfalls of relying on the existing Wi-Fi 6 systems for TI communication. To circumvent this, we propose Video-Tactile Latency Scheduler (ViTaLS) - a novel link layer framework for tuning the video-tactile frame transmissions to suit their heterogeneous QoS requirements.

Our article "A Location-aware RF-assisted MAC Protocol for Sectorized Vehicular Visible Light Communications" has been accepted for publication in Elsevier Computer Communications. Vehicular Visible Light Communications (V-VLC) has emerged as a viable technology complementing RF-based communication in automotive scenarios. We extensively study interference in typical vehicular scenarios. Based on the findings from this study, we propose a novel approach for medium access. We follow a location-aware cross-layer approach that exploits the Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) feature of modern matrix lighting modules to avoid interference and thus collisions. Making use of heterogeneous communication concepts, in which vehicles share their positions via the Radio Frequency (RF) channel, V-VLC transmissions can be scheduled accordingly.

Traveling through the human vessels, nanosensors are envisioned to locally detect and actuate on targets very efficiently. This paper explores the accurate modeling of the concentration level of the flowing nanosensors in vessels. We use a Markov chain formulation to predict the stationary distribution of them in the variety of vessel segments. The resulting study reveals the dynamics of the movement of nanosensors in the blood flow yielding further details on their concentration level along vessels.
