Framework for Task Offloading in O‐RAN Architecture for Heterogeneous Computing Applications

Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 2, February 2026.
This work proposes a task offloading framework in ORAN architecture, optimizing computational assignment across user devices, edge cloud, and regional cloud. By efficiently selecting processing nodes and allocating computational and radio resources, it minimizes delay while accommodating diverse latency requirements for gold, silver, and bronze‐tier ...

Mobility Management for the Low‐Altitude Economy: Latency‐Aware Handover Design

IET Communications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper develops a latency‐aware mobility‐management framework for aerial vehicles operating in hybrid terrestrial non‐terrestrial networks. We formulate a MILP for optimal AV AP association and propose a greedy handover policy using predicted coverage, rate and handover latency.

E2 Service Models in O-RAN: A Specification-Grounded Tutorial and Implementation Analysis

IEEE Access
The E2 interface and its associated E2 Service Models (E2SMs) are the primary mechanisms through which the Near-Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller (Near-RT RIC) observes and controls Radio Access Network (RAN) behavior in O-RAN.

Securing xApps in Open RAN: A Hierarchical Approach to Authentication and Authorisation

2025 IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS)
The Open Radio Access Network (RAN) represents a significant advancement in the ongoing evolution of mobile networks, transitioning from proprietary physical hardware to virtualised network functions. Open RAN advocates for a disaggregated RAN utilising commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware.

Cybersecurity Driven Quantum Digital Twin for Proactive Threat Reversal in Open RAN

IET Quantum Communication, Volume 7, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper presents a novel cybersecurity‐driven quantum digital twin (CQDT) architecture for proactive defence in 6G Open RAN. By integrating quantum observables and reinforcement learning, the framework maintains high fidelity and suppresses entropy under adversarial CPTP noise. CQDT achieves real‐time adaptation with sub‐20 ms latency, meeting URLLC

Composition and conservation status of rays sold in Baja California Sur, Mexico

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.
An analysis of the species composition of ray species sold under a general label in La Paz, Baja California, Sur Mexico. DNA barcode sequencing of the CO1 gene was utilized to assess ray filets, and species identification was compared to IUCN Red List to understand the vulnerability status of ray species being sold.
