Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have found widespread commercial, civilian, and military
applications. Wireless communication has always been one of the core technologies for …

Benefiting from the usage of the high-frequency band, utilizing part of the large available
bandwidth for wireless backhauling is feasible without considerable performance sacrifice …

With the standardization of 5G, commercial millimeter wave (mmWave) communications has
become a reality despite all the concerns about the unfavorable propagation characteristics …

IAB is being considered as a means to reduce the deployment costs of ultra-dense 5G
mmWave networks, using wireless backhaul links to relay the access traffic. In this work we …

We develop a framework based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to solve the spectrum
allocation problem in the emerging integrated access and backhaul (IAB) architecture with …

With the emergence of integrated access and backhaul (IAB) in the fifth generation (5G) of
cellular networks, backhaul is no longer just a passive capacity constraint in cellular network …

An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network architecture can enable flexible and fast
deployment of the next-generation cellular networks. However, mutual interference between …

The next generations of mobile networks will be deployed as ultra-dense networks, to match
the demand for increased capacity and the challenges that communications in the higher …

Deploying access and backhaul as wireless links, aka integrated access and backhaul
(IAB), is envisioned as a viable approach to enable flexible and dense networks. Even …

In this paper, we investigate the packet-level throughput and energy efficiency of millimeter-
wave unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted integrated access and backhaul (IAB) …
