The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to bring new opportunities for improving several
services for the Society, from transportation to agriculture, from smart cities to fleet …

We consider a radio access network slice serving mobile users whose requests imply
computing requirements. Service is virtualized over either a powerful but distant cloud …

We consider a set of network users (nodes) that generate latency-constrained service
requests requiring the execution of computing tasks on servers located either in the cloud or …

Carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) provides a feasible way to support machine type
communications (MTC). However, in CSMA how to guarantee the diverse delay QoS …

Multiple autonomous robots are expected to interact in Industry 4.0 scenarios, which makes
it key to identify distributed techniques for their control and coordination. Game theory has a …

In the era of smart agriculture and smart industry, sensor networks have become
indispensable for gathering crucial data to improve efficiency, reduce resource consumption …

We consider a set of network users (nodes), each generating latency-constrained service
requests corresponding to the execution of computational tasks on servers positioned either …

Sharding technologies allow the Internet of Things (IoT) to deploy blockchains in large-scale
applications with good scalability. However, conventional sharding strategies in IoT …

Enabling massive access and data transmission in Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios
remains a persistent challenge. An efficient medium access control (MAC) scheme is …

We study average performance and costs for routing service requests in a virtualized
environment, where either the MEC or the Cloud can serve user's requests. Employing a …
