Blockchain technology is a technology that jointly leverages and builds on top of a few existing techniques such as cryptography, hashing, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networking, smart contract, and consensus protocols. Fully distributed control and management capability of the 5G/6G wireless systems may be enabled by blockchain technology, especially in the untrusted...
For Internet operators, on-line service providers and end-users, representative operational measurements are crucial to monitor and diagnose the performance of networks and on-line services. While numerous approaches have been proposed to measure performance, only a few works fully adopt an end-user perspective by taking measurements from within web browsers. In...

The emergence of edge computing introduces new complexity in the creation of distributed mobile applications. Application designers can now deploy application functionality in three or more tiers of compute infrastructure to optimize bandwidth, latency, cost, user experience and privacy for their users and their own operations. However, the diversity of...
5G promises to bring back value to the network operator and not only serve as a data pipe solution anymore. Operators have started to adopt cloud-native paradigms for the deployment of the 5G core architecture. With it goes the introduction of the service-based architecture as a key design pattern for...
Zero-forcing precoding is a commonly-used multiple-user, multiple-input multiple-output beamforming technique. Applying such precoding, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) statistics with outdated channel state information, which involve various projections related to the multi-dimensional channel vectors and precoding vectors, have never been explicitly derived. In this paper, for the multiple-input single-output scenario with...
