Communication via Sensing
We present an alternative take on the recently popularized concept of `$\textit{joint sensing and communications}$', which focuses on using communication resources also for sensing. Here, we propose the opposite, where we exploit the sensing capabilities of the receiver for communication. Our goal is to characterize the fundamental limits of communication over such a channel, which we call `$\textit{communication via sensing}$'. We assume that changes in the sensed attributes, e.g., location, s…

Examining the Social Communication and Community Engagement of Autistic Adults through an Asynchronous Focus Group
Purpose: Little research has explored the communication needs of autistic adults and how their needs differ from those of other disabled populations. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) can support these communication needs, but more guidance is needed on how to design AAC to support this population. Materials and Methods: We conducted an online, asynchronous, text-based focus group with five autistic adults to explore their social communication and community engagement and how A…

E-WAN: Efficient Communication in Energy Harvesting Low-Power Networks
The ever-increasing number of distributed embedded systems in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) rely on wireless communication to collect and exchange data. Nodes can employ single-hop communication which, despite its ease, may necessitate energy-intensive long-range communication to cover long distances. Conversely, multi-hop communication allows for more energy-efficient short-range communication since nodes can rely …
