Transmission of high-definition (HD) video is a promising application for 60 GHz wireless links, since very high transmission rates (up to several Gbit/s) are possible. In particular we consider a sports stadium broadcasting system where signals from multiple cameras are transmitted to a central location. Due to the high pathloss of 60 GHz radiation over the large distances encountered in this scenario, the use of relays might be required. The current paper analyzes the joint selection of the ro

This paper proposes an application algorithm based on a quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) for wireless scheduling problems. QAOA is one of the promising hybrid quantum-classical algorithms to solve combinatorial optimization problems and it provides great approximate solutions to non-deterministic polynomial-time (NP) hard problems. QAOA maps the given problem into Hilbert space, and then it generates the Hamiltonian for the given objective and constraint. Then, QAOA finds proper
Green tide, which is a serious water pollution problem, is caused by the complex relationships of various factors, such as flow rate, several water quality indicators, and weather. Because the existing methods are not suitable for identifying these relationships and making accurate predictions, a new system and algorithm is required to predict the green tide phenomenon and also minimize the related damage before the green tide occurs. For this purpose, we consider a new network model using smart

This paper proposes an energy-efficient cluster head selection method in the wireless ad hoc network by using a hybrid quantum-classical approach. The wireless ad hoc network is divided into several clusters via cluster head selection, and the performance of the network topology depends on the distribution of these clusters. For an energy-efficient network topology, none of the selected cluster heads should be neighbors. In addition, all the selected cluster heads should have high energy-consump

Since EDs can be densely deployed in urban areas, wireless hyperconnection should be supportable in FC networks. For the sy

Federated learning-enabled edge devices train global models by sharing them while avoiding local data sharing. In federated learning, the sharing of models through communication between several clients and central servers results in various problems such as a high latency and network congestion. Moreover, battery consumption problems caused by local training procedures may impact power-hungry clients. To tackle these issues, federated edge learning (FEEL) applies the network edge technologies of
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a popular multicarrier technique used to attain high spectral efficiencies. It also has other advantages such as multipath tolerance and ease of implementation. However, OFDM based systems suffer from high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) problem. Because of the nonlinearity of the power amplifiers, the high PAPR causes significant distortion in the transmitted signal for millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems. To alleviate the high PAPR problem,
