Abstract—This paper presents a novel approach to optimizing resource allocation in Internet of Things (IoT) networks, focusing on enhancing energy efficiency (EE) while maintaining age of information (AoI) awareness through device-to-device (D2D) communication. Our proposed solution integrates simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) with energy harvesting (EH) techniques. Specifically, D2D users employ time switching (TS) to harvest energy from the environment, while IoT users utilize power splitting (PS) to obtain energy from base stations (BS).

In the realm of real-time communications, WebRTC-based multimedia applications are increasingly prevalent as these can be smoothly integrated within Web browsing sessions. The browsing experience is then significantly improved concerning scenarios where browser add-ons and/or plug-ins are used; still, the end user's Quality of Experience (QoE) in WebRTC sessions may be affected by network impairments, such as delays and losses.

This data set is from a macroscale molecular communication (MC) testbed and provides the datasheets and code for setting up a replica of the testbed as well as experimental measurement data. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this testbed is the first macroscale MC testbed for analog network coding.

A new approach addressing the spectrum scarcity challenge in 6G networks by implementing an enhanced licensed shared access (LSA) framework is considered. The proposed mechanism aims to ensure fairness in spectrum allocation to mobile network operators (MNOs) through a novel weighted auction called the fair Vickery-Clarke-Groves (FVCG) mechanism in which the determination of weights is based on the results of the previous auctions.
