The present paper studies the prospective and the performance of a forthcoming high-speed third generation (3.5G) networking technology, called enhanced uplink, for delivering mobile health (m-health) applications. The performance of 3.5G networks is a critical factor for successful development of m-health services perceived by end users. In this paper, we propose a methodology for performance assessment based on the joint uplink transmission of voice, real-time video, biological data (such as electrocardiogram, vital signals, and heart sounds), and healthcare records file transfer. Various scenarios were concerned in terms of real-time, nonreal-time, and emergency applications in random locations, where no other system but 3.5G is available. The accomplishment of quality of service (QoS) was explored through a step-by-step improvement of enhanced uplink system's parameters, attributing the network system for the best performance in the context of the desired m-health services.

The rapid deployment and enhanced communication capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have enabled numerous real-time sensing applications. These scenarios often necessitate task offloading and execution under stringent transmission delay constraints, particularly for time-critical applications such as disaster rescue and environmental monitoring. This paper investigates the improvement of MEC-based task offloading services in energy-constrained UAV networks using backscatter communication (BackCom) with non-orthogonal multiple access (BAC-NOMA).

In this paper, we demonstrated a novel bidirectional high-speed transmission system integrating a free-space optical (FSO) communication with a 5G wireless link, utilizing a high-power erbium-doped fibre amplifier (EDFA) for enhanced loss compensation. The system supports downlink rates of 1-Gb/s/4.5-GHz and 10-Gb/s at 24-GHz and 39-GHz, and an uplink rate of 10-Gb/s/28-GHz.

In this paper, we present a novel method to enhance the sum-rate effectiveness in full-duplex unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted communication networks. Existing approaches often couple uplink and downlink associations, resulting in suboptimal performance, particularly in dynamic environments where user demands and network conditions are unpredictable. To overcome these limitations, we propose a decoupling of uplink and downlink associations for ground-based users (GBUs), significantly improving network efficiency.

To prolong the network lifetime of energy harvesting-cognitive radio sensor networks (EH-CRSNs), this paper integrates active intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) to support both downlink EH and uplink data transmissions and formulates a constrained non-convex optimization problem that maximizes the net energy gain. To solve this problem, a joint passive beamforming and IRS deployment mechanism is proposed to determine the optimal deployment location of the active IRS and optimally configure the IRS reflection coefficient matrices. Specifically, the net energy gain maximization problem at a specified location is divided into two sub-problems according to its characteristics: maximizing the cumulative energy harvested by all CRSNs nodes in the downlink and minimizing the energy consumption of cluster heads in uplink data transmissions, with each sub-problem being solved independently.

Deploying Cellular Internet of Things (CIoT) devices in urban and remote areas faces significant energy efficiency challenges. This is especially true for Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) devices, which are expected to function on a single charge for up to 10 years while transmitting small amounts of data daily. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has introduced energy-saving mechanisms in Releases 13 to 16, including Early Data Transmission (EDT) and Preconfigured Uplink Resources (PURs).
