In this paper, we study the statistical characterization and modeling of distributed multi-
reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided wireless systems. Specifically, we consider a …

Cellular systems are becoming more heterogeneous with the introduction of low power
nodes including femtocells, relays, and distributed antennas. Unfortunately, the resulting …

Error performance is one of the main performance measures and the derivation of its closed-
form expression has proved to be quite involved for certain communication systems …

Composite fading (ie, multipath fading and shadowing together) has increasingly been
analyzed by means of the K channel and related models. Nevertheless, these models do …

In this paper, the design of a wireless communication device relying exclusively on energy
harvesting is considered. Due to the inability of rechargeable energy sources to charge and …

Distributed antenna systems (DAS) augment the base station's transmit capability by adding
multiple remote radio units, connected to the base station via a high bandwidth and low …

LTE is the fastest growing cellular technology and is expected to increase its footprint in the
coming years, as well as progress toward LTE-A. The race among operators to deliver the …

Recent advancements in self-interference (SI) cancellation capability of low-power wireless
devices motivate in-band full-duplex (FD) wireless backhauling in small cell networks …

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has emerged as a promising technology for 5G
networks and beyond. In order to fully reap the benefits of NOMA, it is essential to …

The reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technique has received many interests, thanks to
its advantages of low cost, easy deployment, and high controllability. It is acknowledged that …
