Entangled quantum states serve as important resources in quantum communication, quantum computing, and quantum sensing. Creating entangled states between remote nodes is referred to as remote entanglement establishment (REE). REE typically consists of three types of quantum operations: entanglement…
Integrated localization and communication (ILC) will be a key enabler for providing accurate location information and high data rate in next generation networks. This paper proposes a transmission frame structure and a soft information (SI)-based localization algorithm for position-assisted communic…
Seabed-to-space situational awareness (S3A) aims to organize, fuse, and synthesize the massive volume of information collected from heterogeneous sensors, i.e., underwater, terrestrial, and space-based sensors, and therefrom extract knowledge thence available to defence operators, enabling informed…
Location awareness is crucial for numerous applications in fifth generation (5G) and beyond ecosystems. Localization-of-things (LoT) via soft information (SI) enables accurate localization, tracking, and navigation of networked nodes. This paper demonstrates real-time SI-based LoT using ultrawideban…
The sum-product algorithm (SPA) was recently shown to provide a scalable methodology for multitarget tracking (MTT) using multiple sensors. Here, we focus on another advantage of the SPA frame-work, namely, its capacity for Bayesian fusion of heterogeneous data sources and auxiliary information. We…
Remote state preparation (RSP) is a technique to transmit quantum states with classical communication and previously shared entanglement. In this paper, we consider RSP in a multiparty setting. A simple yet nontrivial case is studied, where there is one sender and two receivers. We put forth a broad…
Wireless networks are growing in the value of application in many areas, in which accurate clock synchronization is required when tasks are performed in a collaborative fashion among nodes. Especially, cooperative synchronization techniques lead to significant performance improvement compared with t…
This paper addresses the problem of localizing an unknown number of static sources emitting unknown signals from time-difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements. Based on the framework of random finite sets and finite set statistics, we formulate the Bayesian estimation problem and develop a particle…
One of the major challenges in effectively operating a cloud radio access network (C-RAN) is the excessive overhead signaling and computation load that scale rapidly with the size of the network. In this paper, the exploitation of location information of the mobile devices is proposed to address thi…
The impressive growth of secrecy-sensitive wireless applications calls for methods to complement traditional cryptography. In particular, physical-layer security is attractive to enhance communication confidentiality by exploiting the characteristics of the wireless environment. Recent works on info…
Massive MIMO is, in general, severely affected by pilot contamination. As opposed to traditional detectors, we propose a group-blind detector that takes into account the presence of pilot contamination. While sticking to the traditional structure of the training phase, where orthogonal pilot sequenc…
