The implementation of non-specular reflection, generally referred to as perfect anomalous reflection, has been the realm of complex periodic metasurfaces consisting of multiple, painstakingly-designed meta-atoms. It has recently been shown that similar effects can be obtained from a basic periodic surface (BPS) with arbitrary properties, coated with several uniform dielectric layers which serve as a multimodal anti-reflective coating (MARC). In spite of its simplicity, the BPS-MARC combination can be easily designed to suppress all components of the discrete propagating Floquet-Bloch (FB) spectrum except the one in the design direction of interest. We show herein that the design direction of the reflected beam can be controlled by simply shifting the MARC relative to the BPS with the aid, for example, of a piezoelectric actuator. Such control enables dynamic beam switching from one radiation angle to another with almost-perfect efficiency. The MARC layers for this purpose are designed analytically and verified by full-wave computations, thus providing a new and conceptually simple method of efficient wave control in real time, highly useful for signal rerouting and multiplexing in reconfigurable antenna systems.

Sixth generation wireless communication promises extremely high data rates, exceptionally low latency, and extensive use of an intelligent fog/edge platform including storage, communications, control and processing resources. This fog/edge platform will provide scalable and elastic distributed processing, communications flow management, and application support capabilities. An extended, more distributed SDN (software defined network) is likely to be an important element of this environment, enabling local picocell clients to more efficiently share processing and communications resources. This distributed SDN, with a local SDN controller handling local needs such as handoffs between picocells with very low latency and networked with distant SDN controllers for wide-area communication and information retrieval needs, will mediate the QoS for both highly interactive local applications and large volume streaming and downloading. The distributed SDN will facilitate access to application processing and locally stored data in the fog/edge platform and keep track of networking transactions and resource use. This concept of a distributed SDN coupled with network edge computing and data storage will support the entrepreneurial development of new network modalities and applications meeting the needs of network operators, service providers, and end users. This introductory paper, including a vehicular control simulation example, suggests the possible shape of an intelligent network edge incorporating a distributed SDN for the future 6G network. Keywords— fog/edge; SDN; 6G; distributed network control

The paper presents a metamaterial based LTCC compressed Luneburg lens antenna for wireless communications. The antenna is designed at 60 GHz to utilize the unlicensed mm-wave spectrum available for short-range high-data-rate communications. The gradient index compressed Luneburg lens antenna is designed using the quasi-conformal transformation optics method. The design of the antenna is fully compliant with the standard LTCC process with a high-permittivity host material. The diameter of the antenna is 19 mm and the thickness is less than 2 mm. The peak antenna gain at 60 GHz of 16 dBi is demonstrated. Beam scanning capacity is demonstrated with 1 dB scan loss within ±25 degree field of view.

The estimation of rain attenuation over a satellite link needs an accurate rainfall rate. The exponential development of satellite networks using higher-frequency bands such as Ka bands has highlighted the need to assess the combined effect of multiple diffusion impairments. The network of satellite communication links operating at Ku-band and above experiences rain fades due to signal absorption and dispersion. When considering link budget planning, the tropical and subtropical regions are of concern due to the high amount of precipitation when compared with the temperate regions. This paper examined the performance of the time-series ARIMA model on a Ka-band terrestrial link in Durban South Africa. The performance and validity are tested with the received signal level data measurements over a 6.73 km terrestrial LOS link centred at 19.5 GHz, the synthetic storm technique, and the International Telecommunication Union Recommendation model (ITU-R) based on rain attenuation generated from rain rate data over nine (9) years (20052013). The results reveal that the ITU-R model did not correspond with measured results. Hence, we tested a supervised learning-time series-based attenuation prediction method, which provides better performance than the existing models. Furthermore, the comparison with experimental results also shows that the proposed method has advantages of real-time forecast and high availability. The information from the present study will further provide quantitative insights on time-series rain fade needed in planning for 5G networks and beyond in the subtropical regions.

Public concern about potential health risks of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure (RF-EMF) from mobile networks and devices has ebbed and flowed over time with new claims and misinformation around 5G deployments. There remain misunderstandings about the nature and level of RF-EMF exposure from both mobile networks and devices. Measurements on live networks show that typical RF-EMF exposure levels from mobile networks and devices are a small fraction of international guidelines. 5G deployments will have little impact on RF-EMF levels. The consensus of independent expert groups and the World Health Organization is that there are no established health risks from such exposures.

In this paper a Y-band THz radiating CMOS source in the is presented. The source is based on a differential buffer- less Colpitts D-band VCO, which is tuned by controlling its gate- source capacitance through its transistor drain-gate voltage. The transistor drains are directly coupled to an on-chip loop antenna that chokes the fundamental signal while efficiently radiating the 3rd harmonic generated by the VCO transistor non-linearity. The source is locked using an external D-band source that radiates the CMOS chip and injection locks the source through its fundamental oscillation. The source can be tuned in a wide frequency range of 405 to 421 GHz with peak total output power of -15dBm (DC to THz radiated power efficiency of 0.1%), EIRP of -6 dBm and DC to EIRP power efficiency of 1.1%. This concept enables simple and cost-effective locked CMOS THz source arrays.

We show that the ballistic electron injection from the n+ source region through the i-region into the gated n-region of the n+-i-n-n+ graphene field-effect transistor (GFET) leads to the effective drag of quasi-equilibrium electrons toward the drain. The drag results in the positive feedback between the ballistic injection and the reverse injection from the n+ drain region and can lead to the negative real part of the GFET source-drain impedance accompanied with the change of the impedance imaginary part sign. As a result, the steady-state current flow along the GFET channel can be unstable giving rise to the current driven self-excitation of the electron density high-frequency oscillations (plasma instability). The related oscillations of the current feeding an antenna can be used for the terahertz radiation emission.

The fifth generation (5G) networks exhibit high data rates and capacities that endear them to applications such as internet of things (IoT) and mobile banking. Due to sensitivity of data exchanged in these applications, security and privacy preservation schemes are essential for their deployments. The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has specified evolved packet system authentication and key agreement (EPSAKA) and 5G AKA protocols for mutually authenticating the communicating entities. However, these protocols are vulnerable to attacks such as impersonation, denial of service (DoS), hijacking and packet replays. Consequently, other schemes based on technologies such as blockchain, public key cryptography and certificates have been introduced to counter these threats. Unfortunately, these algorithms have either high computation and communication overheads or fail to effectively prevent these attacks. In this paper, a new key agreement and authentication protocol is presented. Security evaluation shows that this protocol upholds backward and forward key secrecy, and is robust against attacks such as privileged insider and privacy violations. In terms of performance, it exhibits average computation overheads compared with other related schemes.
