Across Canada, hospitals, factories and worksites are growing larger and more complex. Statistics Canada reports that the health care and social assistance sector added 53,000 jobs year over year as of September 2025. With more people and assets in motion than ever before, organizations need better....

Our recent paper delves into the nuances of queuing and processing delays within a UAV-assisted C-V2X communications setting, specifically honing in on the IMT-2030-based UAV-assisted 6G C-V2X communications. We scrutinize the delays across a federated learning setup and a gross data offloading scenario, considering event-triggered cooperative perception messages (CPMs) and periodically transmitted basic safety messages (BSMs). Our analysis prioritizes queuing stability within the defined problem framework.

The paradigm of cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) communications assisted by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is poised to revolutionize the future of sixth-generation (6G) intelligent transportation systems, as outlined by the international mobile telecommunication (IMT)-2030 vision. This integ...

Can we use an optical fiber as a radiating cable? This may seem infeasible at first sight. However, our experimental study shows otherwise. We measured light leaking from a bent optical fiber transmitter under different conditions. We also derived closed-form formulas to describe the amount of leakage energy and found that this energy exponentially varies with the square of the curvature radius. This allows us to design an Optical Leaky Feeder (OLF) transmission system for the first time. Then, we analytically show that a slotted optical fiber can be used as a MIMO receiver as well. See more details at

Leaky feeders provide seamless and uniform signal coverage in confined spaces like tunnels, mines, and buildings. Their easy scalability and integration with modern systems, like Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), make them ideal for environments requiring reliable and consistent connectivity. H...

The research problem of this systematic review was whether green 6G networks can integrate energy-efficient Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in terms of distributed artificial intelligence, green 6G pervasive edge computing communication networks and big-data-based intelligent decision algorithms. Mobile edge and cloud computing task processing capabilities of decentralized network control and power grid system monitoring were also analyzed. See more for free at
