Post-earthquake scenarios have brought connectivity challenges to the forefront of research in recent years. Particularly, the randomness and large-scale of road and telecom network infrastructure damage within the aftermath hinders communications coverage restoration during the most critical hours when lives are at stake. This paper proposes a sei...
Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provide a compelling solution for data collection in Internet of Things (IoT) networks due to their mobility and adaptability. However, the line-of-sight dominance in their channels may result in severe interference to ground users during UAV operations. To address this, we present an optimization framework that conc...
The continual progress pace of the development of the Wi-Fi generations may not fulfill the expected tremendous data growth of future smart-home network devices and applications. Throughout this article, we show a comprehensive design of the futuristic smart-home network that distributes massive data for indoor devices while fully supporting intell...
This paper investigates the maximization of data harvested by an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) that supports Internet of Things (IoT) deployment scenarios. The novelty of the paper is that we study the feasibility of battery-free UAV and IoT device deployment where the UAV is powered by a ground laser source, and the IoT devices are powered by a po...
Recently, the use of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) in joint sensing and communication applications has received a lot of attention. However, integrating UAVs in current cellular systems presents major challenges related to trajectory optimization and interference management among others. This paper considers a multi-cell network including a UAV,...

This paper studies the temporal characteristics of the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-based visible light communication (VLC) channel using radiometric concepts. Throughout this study, we account for the delays experienced by the transmitted power along the continuum of paths originating at the source, passing through the IRS, reaching the de...
The heterogeneity of optical wireless networks (OWNs) has expanded over decades in terms of services, node densities, mobility requirements, bandwidth needs, responsiveness, and physical device profile. Consequently, incorporating dynamic reconfigurability into future OWNs can satisfy their diverse realm of objectives. Towards this end, we provide...
This paper studies the intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-based visible light communication (VLC) channel using radiometric concepts. Throughout this study, we account for the delays experienced by the transmitted power along the continuum of paths leading to the detector. Then, we derive the impulse response of the metasurface and the mirror arr...
We propose two types of intelligent reflecting systems based on programmable metasurfaces and mirrors to focus the incident optical power towards a visible light communication receiver. We derive the required phase gradients for the metasurface array reflector and the required orientations of each mirror in the mirrors array reflector to achieve po...

In this paper, we study the performance of simultaneous lightwave information and power transfer (SLIPT) systems in a multi-cell indoor scenario. We investigate the energy harvesting and data rate performance of multiple users while meeting the lighting constraints. To this end, we develop optimization frameworks that tune the parameters of transmi...
The continuous improvement in optical energy harvesting devices motivates the development of visible light communication systems that utilize such available free energy. In this paper, an outdoor visible light communications (VLC) system is considered where a VLC base station sends data to multiple users that are capable of harvesting optical energ...
Visible light communications (VLC) in general and resource allocation for VLC networks particularly have gained lots of attention recently. In this work, we consider the resource allocation problem of a VLC downlink transmission system employing dynamic time division multiple access where time and power variables are tuned to maximize spectral effi...
In this paper, we develop selective retransmission schemes for multiple-channel systems.

Multi-tier heterogeneous networks have become an essential constituent for next generation cellular networks. Meanwhile, energy efficiency (EE) has been considered a critical design criterion along with the traditional spectral efficiency (SE) metric. In this context, we study power and spectrum allocation for a two-tier phantom cellular network, T...
