Hersyandika, Rizqi (author), Rossanese, Marco (author), Lutu, Andra (author), Yang, Miao (author), Wang, Q. (author), Pollin, Sofie (author)This paper studies a promising use case of a private 5G network for the sports industry: wearable bodycams and sensors in a football match. This use case requires a reliable and dedicated massive MIMO network to provide uniform coverage with a high capacity in the whole pitch area. The coverage of co-located and distributed (cell-free) massive...conference paper 2023

Chang, Brian (author), Yang, Liufei (author), Sensi, M. (author), Achterberg, M.A. (author), Wang, F. (author), Rinaldi, M. (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author)We introduce a Markov Modulated Process (MMP) to describe human mobility. We represent the mobility process as a time-varying graph, where a link specifies a connection between two nodes (humans) at any discrete time step. Each state of the Markov chain encodes a certain modification to the original graph. We show that our MMP model...conference paper 2022

Wang, Weizheng (author), Vette, Marek (author), Wang, Q. (author), Yang, J. (author), Zuniga, Marco (author)To protect sensitive information on smartphones, state-of-the-art (SoA) studies exploit the built-in camera to capture PPG signals from fingertips as a hard-to-forge biometric. However, those studies do not provide a comprehensive analysis to optimize the camera parameters and finger pressure, leading to distorted and unstable PPG signals that...conference paper 2022
