Networked Tethered Flying Platforms (NTFPs) have gained growing interest in recent years
due to their versatility and cost-efficiency. These aerial platforms are linked to ground …

The concept of the smart city relies on connectivity and is expected to revolutionize urban
living and create sustainable cities. However, while smart cities continue to evolve, small …

In this paper, we propose the integration of tethered flying platforms in cooperative vehicular
ad hoc networks (VANETs) to alleviate the problems of rapid urbanization. In this context, we …

In a wireless terrain, the presence of various obstacles leads to compliance of non-Line-of-
sight (NLOS) norms between transmitter and receiver, which renders severe degradation in …

Nonterrestrial networks (NTN) are pivotal, enabling technologies for achieving global and
ubiquitous connectivity in the sixth generation (6G) of wireless systems. On the other hand …

Road traffic safety is a crucial issue, and more specifically at road intersections. At the same
time, vehicular communications (VCs) are attracting a great attention thanks to their useful …

Researchers are currently speculating about what the role of beyond fifth-generation (B5G)
or sixth generation (6G) wireless systems will be. Several use cases and applications are …

This paper introduces a Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) ordering technique, called
the region-based ordering method, which operates independently of channel state …

Vehicular safety communications (VSCs) provide relevant solutions to avoid congestion and
road accidents, more particularly at road intersections since these areas are more prone to …

The paper investigates the improvement of using maximum ratio combining (MRC) in
cooperative vehicular communications (VCs) transmission schemes considering non …
