Access-aware Backhaul Optimization in 5G [PDF]
Proceedings of the 16th ACM International Symposium on Mobility Management and Wireless Access - MobiWac'18, 2018 Aggressive demand of future access network services is being translated into the stringent requirement on future backhaul infrastructure. It is not possible to take the backhaul resources for granted anymore; rather, more focused research is required to tackle the challenge of limited resources.

TranQuiL: Long Range Detection and Localization of Interference in Radio Quiet Zones
Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Radio Quiet Zones (RQZs) have been established to prevent radio sources from causing harmful interference to sensitive radio telescopes, which study extremely faint cosmic radio waves. Even with strict regulations, such interference is growing due to the widespread use of consumer electronics, emitting in many different frequency bands ...

DRL‐Based Joint Clustering and Trajectory Optimization for UAV‐Assisted Emergency Networks
IET Communications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.6G is expected to see unprecedented data traffic surges. UAV‐assisted MEC aids emergency communications but faces challenges from dynamic user mobility and heterogeneous tasks. To address these, the proposed KM‐PPO integrates interference‐aware k‐means clustering (for user aggregation and initial UAV deployment) and PPO (for stable policy updates and ...

Transformer‐Based Fusion for Joint Routing and Resource Allocation in the Internet of Things
IET Communications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.In this work, we investigate decentralized joint routing and resource allocation for high‐quality path establishment at the network layer of the Internet of Things (IoT). We propose a novel optimization framework based on Transformer‐based Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), which enables the fusion of observations and actions along communication paths.
