A review of technological solutions and advances in the framework of a Vertical
Heterogeneous Network (VHetNet) integrating satellite, airborne and terrestrial networks is …

Future wireless systems integrating communication and sensing will require handling an
enormous amount of data with extremely low latency. Intense video streaming data traffic …

The beamforming capabilities of conformal cylindrical Huygens metasurface (HMS) coatings
for linear antennas are assessed. It is shown that by engineering the phase-gradient profile …

We consider a multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) channel in the presence of a
reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). Specifically, our focus is on analysing the spatial …

In this paper, we propose a novel framework that aims to jointly design the reflection
coefficients of multiple reconfigurable intelligent surfaces and the precoding strategy of a …

In current wireless communication systems, sophisticated attack strategies at the physical
layer—the electromagnetic wave signals carrying the information—leave traces in the …

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has recently gained significant interest as an
emerging technology for future wireless networks thanks to its potential for improving the …

Challenge-response is a security mechanism well known for authentication using
encryption. In this article, we propose new challenge-response mechanisms in the context of …

To achieve a smart electromagnetic (EM) environment, several implementation challenges
need to be addressed. Among them, the practical realization of low-cost and easily …

This article deals with the electromagnetic (EM) planning of static and passive EM skins
(EMSs) in complex urban scenarios to improve the EM coverage of the base-station (BTS) …
