Digital Twin-Assisted Resilient Planning for mmWave IAB Networks via Graph Attention Networks
Digital Twin (DT) technology enables real-time monitoring and optimization of complex network infrastructures by creating accurate virtual replicas of physical systems. In millimeter-wave (mmWave) 5G/6G networks, the deployment of Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) nodes faces highly dynamic urban environments, necessitating intelligent DT-enabled optimization frameworks. Traditional IAB deployment optimization approaches struggle with the combinatorial complexity of jointly optimizing covera…

Power in Sharing Networks with a priori Unions
We introduce and analyze a novel family of power indices tailored for sharing networks in technological markets, where firms operate competitively within, but not across, distinct industrial sectors. In these settings, inter-firm collaboration structures emerge from formal technology licensing agreements. The proposed indices are defined over graphs with a priori unions and combine two key centrality measures - degree-based and rescaled eigenvector centrality - modulated by positive market coef…

Distributed Deep Learning with RIS Grouping for Accurate Cascaded Channel Estimation
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) panels are envisioned as a key technology for sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks, providing a cost-effective means to enhance coverage and spectral efficiency. A critical challenge is the estimation of the cascaded base station (BS)-RIS-user channel, since the passive nature of RIS elements prevents direct channel acquisition, incurring prohibitive pilot overhead, computational complexity, and energy consumption. To address this, we propose a deep l…
