Understanding performance of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS)

Use of milimeter wave frequency band (mmWave, from 30 to 300 GHz) is one main technological novelties of 5G and 6G mobile data communications. Exploitation of mmWave spectrum enables substantially larger bandwidth and datarates, but such high-frequency bands have a…

Internship Opening: Light, Efficient Multicast with B.I.E.R.

Light, Efficient Multicast with B.I.E.R. B.I.E.R. (Bit-Indexed Explicit Replication) is a multicast mechanism wherein the source of the multicast data packet (i.e. the ingress router which injects the multicast data packet into a B.I.E.R. domain) explicitly identifies and indicates (by…
