The technology of intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) is a promising candidate for future wireless communication systems due to its capability of controlling the reflection of electromagnetic waves. In particular, constructive superposition of the reflected signal paths is achieved at a receiver ...
Recent advances in the drone industry have led to increased interest in using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for wireless communication purposes. However, limited power remains the big issue, as in such missions, endurance is of paramount importance. In this context, free-space optics (FSO) seems to not only offer a way to transfer high data rates but also a key technology to provide energy to flying platforms.
Molecular communications (MC) is an emerging communications approach with many interdisciplinary applications in industry and medicine. MC can be used in environments, where classical communication using electromagnetic waves is not feasible. Applications of particular interest are infrastructure mo...

The design of communication networks for nanodevices, so-called nanonetworks, has gained a lot of attention. Nanonetworks could enable exciting new applications in biomedicine, environmental monitoring, and manufacturing. Molecular communication (MC), i.e., the exchange of information via molecules, is a bio-hybrid approach to nanonetwork design.
