Background: Molecular Communication (MC) is an emerging communication paradigm which uses molecules to convey information. MC applies communication engineering principles to bio-medical applications such as targeted drug delivery, health monitoring, and micro-fluidic channel design. In the future, in-body devices are expected to communicate with each other by means of MC and are connected to the…

Background: Understanding how signaling molecules move through the human microvasculature is crucial for future biomedical applications of molecular communication (MC), including early cancer detection, targeted drug delivery, and continuous health monitoring. While existing MC channel models primarily describe transport in large and medium-sized blood vessels, many envisioned applications ultimately rely on molecule exchange within the…

Abstract: As integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) emerges as a key enabler for sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems, efforts to refine its design and optimize its performance have intensified in recent years. Discussions on waveform design for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) ISAC remain ongoing, mainly due to the differing performance requirements of sensing and communication. In this…

Topic: The Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT) extends the Internet of Things into the human body, connecting in-body molecular communication (MC) networks with out-of-body electromagnetic (EM) systems. To realize this vision, and enable novel medical applications like continuous in-body health monitoring, interface devices are needed that can sense molecular biomarkers within the body, and communicate…

Topic: Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) have emerged as a promising technology to provide a cost-effective, energy-efficient, and low-complexity means of enhancing wireless communication performance. However, the increasingly sophisticated hardware designs required for advanced RIS architectures such as dynamic or active RIS often depend on further breakthroughs in electronics and materials science, making their large-scale deployment…

Topic: Pinching Antenna (PA) systems have recently gained attention as a promising alternative to conventional multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architectures, offering dynamic spatial reconfigurability with low hardware complexity. By deploying pinching antennas along low-loss waveguides, PAS can flexibly steer beams and adapt the antenna layout in space. This spatial agility makes PAS particularly well-suited for modern…

A significant portion of the computational burden in most neural networks arises from constant matrix-vector multiplications (CMVMs). To address this challenge, linear computation coding (LCC) has emerged as a promising approach for approximating CMVMs in large matrices, while also facilitating a hardware-efficient parallel implementation on reconfigurable hardware, such as FPGAs. However, optimizing CMVMs is just…

Cell-free massive MIMO (CF-MaMIMO) is a promising network architecture for energy efficient sixth generation (6G) wireless communication systems with uniform quality-of-service coverage and high data rates. It combines the benefits of distributed antenna systems (DAS) with those of centralized MaMIMO systems. In CF-MaMIMO, user equipments (UEs) communicate with a central processing unit (CPU) via geographically…
