Zou, L. (author), Wang, An (author), Wang, H. (author)Temporal networks are networks like physical contact networks whose topology changes over time. Predicting future temporal network is crucial e.g., to forecast and mitigate the spread of epidemics and misinformation on the network. Most existing methods for temporal network prediction are based on machine learning algorithms, at the expense...conference paper 2023

(author), Xiong, Jie (author), Giustiniano, Domenico (author)Radio-Frequency (RF) backscatter has emerged as a low-power communication technique. Backscatter systems either rely on active signal generators (spectrum efficient, but dedicated infrastructure) or existing ambient wireless transmissions (existing infrastructure, but spectrum inefficient). In this paper, we aim to make RF backscatter...conference paper 2023
