Maritime activities, including fisheries, maritime transportation, and surveillance, are expected to transfer mul-timedia data to remote users, which requires the establishment of reliable backhaul communication links from the marine vessels to the core network. Tethered Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which are connected to a sufficient power sou...

6G networks are envisioned to deliver a large diversity of applications and meet stringent Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Hence, integrated Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks (TN-NTNs) are anticipated to be key enabling technologies. However, the integration of TN-NTNs faces a number of challenges that could be addressed through netwo...

Solar energy, as a sustainable power resource, has mainly been used for electricity generation and heating purposes. Nevertheless, large amounts of daylight are underutilized and primarily used for indoor lighting. In this article, we investigate exploiting sunlight as a green information carrier by passively modulating its power to stream data. Sw...

Solar energy is widely used for electricity generation, heating systems, and indoor environment daytime illumination. Indeed, large amounts of sunlight energy remain insufficiently used. In this work, we aim at employing sunlight energy for data transmission as a green option for wireless communications. Being emitted by an uncontrollable source, t...

This letter designs a simultaneous lightwave and power transfer (SLIPT) system in the underwater environment using the power splitting technique. The data is sent by a laser diode and received by a multi-element receiver composed of a Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) and a solar cell that decodes the transmitted symbols and harvests electrical...
