However, due to the design of the measurement system and antenna, the measurements had to be made in a plane perpendicular to an axis tilted from the optical axis.

It is confirmed that in a strongly asymmetric MIMO channel, the fading correlation has a favorable impact on suboptimal JTRD based on maximal-ratio diversity (MRD), while it only slightly degrades suboptimal JTRD based on selection diversity (SD). The fading correlation has also a favorable impact on optimal JTRD, which is confirmed by investigating the behavior of eigenmode transmission by using Monte-Carlo numerical computation.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"14 12","pages":"460-463"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11202644","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145665729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicate that the confidence scores assigned to OOD modulations are influenced by their proximity to the trained indomain classes. Higher confidence scores are typically observed for modulation types that closely resemble known modulation classes. This approach enables effective classification by training only on essential modulation types, thereby reducing the need for exhaustive class coverage and supporting the constraints of edge computing environments.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"14 12","pages":"477-480"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11202647","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145665798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm selectively powers the necessary modules and minimizes their operating time during the active state. As a result, power consumption in the active state is reduced by 56% compared with previous work, in which almost all modules were activated.

Because of these benefits, even before its standardization in 2021, QUIC was widely deployed by major Internet companies such as Google and Facebook. Additionally, previous research has observed an increase in global adoption of QUIC. Motivated by this trend, we investigate QUIC deployment in Vietnam, particularly in the context of the country's rapid development, especially in the ICT sector. Specifically, we scan and analyze QUIC adoption using a Vietnamese IPv4 dataset. The scanning results indicate that QUIC adoption in Vietnam is in the early stages, with a low deployment rate of approximately 0.05% of all Vietnamese IPv4 addresses. Furthermore, we analyze active migration support, TLS encryption preferences, and visualize a map of QUIC adoption to track its ongoing deployment patterns. In addition, we conduct active measurements showing that QUIC achieves lower time to first byte (TTFB) and higher throughput than TCP in Wi-Fi networks, while offering competitive performance in mobile networks.","PeriodicalId":54101,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Communications Express","volume":"14 11","pages":"415-418"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11157906","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145674831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To avoid collisions, the system reserves both UAV routes and their crossing links.
