Recently, optical satellite communication (OSC) has emerged as one of the most promising technology for the future-proofing of wireless communication (WC) with the capability to provide global coverage.

Dr. Baha Eddine Belmekki, a postdoctoral fellow in the Communication Theory Lab (CTL), participated in the Falling Walls Lab KAUST 2023 and won second place.

Recently, Graduate Affairs extended their congratulations to the winners of Falling Walls Lab KAUST 2023. 

Recently, a team of researchers from KAUST, including Yingquan Li, Bodhibrata Mukhopadhyay, and Mohamed-Slim Alouini, introduced a new cooperative localization technique that increases localization efficiency in wireless sensor networks.

LoRa backscatter (LB) communication systems can be considered as a potential candidate for ultra low power wide area networks (LPWAN) because of their low cost and low power consumption. In this paper, we comprehensively analyze LB modulation from various aspects, i.e., temporal, spectral, and error performance characteristics.
