It is anticipated that integrated sensing and communications (ISACs) would be one of the
key enablers of next-generation wireless networks (such as beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G) for …

The real and effective ground of all new concepts dedicated to the current advanced
factories, as well as to the future digital ones, is close cooperativity of scattered applications …

This paper describes the development and implementation of a robust high-accuracy
ultrasonic indoor positioning system (UIPS). The UIPS consists of several wireless ultrasonic …

An audio/video (AN) hub that coordinates playback of audio content is described. In
particular, the AN hub may calculate current time offsets between clocks in electronic …

Just like Ethernet before, IEEE 802.11 is now transcending the borders of its usage from the
office environment toward real-time communication on the factory floor. However, similar to …

Time-sensitive networking (TSN) is the most promising time-deterministic wired
communication approach for industrial applications. To extend TSN to “IEEE 802.11” …

The ever-increasing number of WSN deployments based on a large number of battery-
powered, low-cost sensor nodes, which are limited in their computing and power resources …

Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to change the everyday life of its users by enabling data
exchanges among pervasive things through the Internet. Such a broad aim, however, puts …

Accurate clock synchronization is required for collaborative operations among nodes across
wireless networks. Compared with traditional layer-by-layer methods, cooperative network …

Precise time synchronization is an essential technique required for financial transaction
systems, industrial automation and control systems, as well as land and ocean observation …
