Beyond 3G wireless systems will be composed of a variety of Radio Access Technologies (RATs) with different, but also complementary, performance and technical characteristics. To exploit such diversity while guaranteeing the interoperability and efficient management of the different RATs, common radio resource management (CRRM) techniques need to be defined. This work proposes and evaluates a CRRM policy that simultaneously assigns to each user an adequate combination of RAT and number of radio resources within such RAT to guarantee its QoS requirements. The proposed CRRM technique is based on linear objective functions and programming tools.
Large language model (LLM)-enabled edge networks (LLMENs) offer mobile users high-quality and low-latency AI-generated content services in the 6G era. However, unlike typical edge networks, LLMENs present unique security challenges due to the inherent complexity of LLMs, their hi…
5G and beyond networks can facilitate the digital transformation of manufacturing and support more flexible and reconfigurable factories with ubiquitous mobile connectivity. This requires integrating 5G networks with industrial networks that increasingly rely on TSN (Time Sensiti…
Mission-critical Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) traffic flows require bounded network latency and jitter guarantees to ensure the safe functioning of critical industrial infrastructure. These flows are typically communicated via commodity network routers with conventional F…
Standards bodies, including TM Forum, 3GPP, and ETSI, are converging on Agentic AI as the foundation for next-generation network management, where Large AI Model (LAM)-based agents autonomously interpret intent, coordinate resources, and adapt operational behaviors at runtime. Ho…
Double-active reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted wireless systems can improve coverage and achievable rate in blockage-dominated environments. Still, their joint resource allocation is challenging due to the coupling among RIS placement, amplification power allocat…
5G and beyond networks will support the digitalization of smart manufacturing thanks to their capacity to simultaneously serve different types of traffic with distinct QoS requirements. This can be achieved using Network Slicing that creates different logical network partitions (…
