Spectrum inference, also known as spectrum prediction in the literature, is a promising
technique of inferring the occupied/free state of radio spectrum from already …

Increasing capacity demands in emerging wireless technologies are expected to be met by
network densification and spectrum bands open to multiple technologies. These will, in turn …

Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the traditional Internet where only human-centric
services were offered. It has enabled objects to have the ability to connect and communicate …

A resource optimization methodology is proposed for application in long range wide area
networks (LoRaWANs). Using variable neighborhood search (VNS) and a minimum-cost …

The number of Internet of Things (IoT) nodes is increasing in modern cities which demands
spectrum and energy efficiency. Fifth-generation (5G) networks are considered as a key …

The hybrid wireless and power line communication (HWPLC) networks address the problem

The effect of air quality on wellbeing and on life comfort is entrenched. Indoor air quality
parameters are critical to make a gainful and sound indoor condition anyway by and large …

Due to the explosion in the demand for broadband wireless services by consumers, wireless
network service providers require increased frequency allocations from an already crowded …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) deployment and placement are largely dependent upon
the available energy, feasible scenario, and secure network. The feasible placement of UAV …

This paper proposes an adaptive cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)
scheme for power line communication (PLC) networks, in which the source superimposes …
