Qubit-Based Clock Drift Correction for Resource-Efficient Quantum Key Distribution
We present a qubit-based clock drift correction method with low computational requirements, that demonstrates a performance equal to a clock drift correction via a dedicated clock channel. Our method enables stable long-term operation as well as...
Dynamic Rerouting of Quantum Key Distribution Links During Live Operation for Software-Defined Networks
Live rerouting of quantum key distribution links poses new synchronization challenges. We demonstrate the seamless handling of multi-minute channel interruptions and fiber length changes exceeding 100 km during live system operation and over...
Catalytically active plate heat exchanger for flexible hydrogen release from perhydro benzyltoluene
A catalytic plate reactor derived from the design of conventional plate heat exchangers was used for the continuous and dynamic dehydrogenation of perhydro benzyltoluene, a LOHC. The surface of heat exchanger plates has been catalytically...
Software for dataset-wide XAI: From local explanations to global insights with Zennit, CoRelAy, and ViRelAy
The predictive capabilities of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are well-established, yet the underlying mechanisms driving these predictions often remain opaque. The advent of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has introduced novel...
Leveraging Shared Data and Models for ML-Based QoT Estimation: Toward Standardized and Generalizable Models
This work presents the first study of a machine learning-based quality-of-transmission (QoT) estimator using synthetic and experimental datasets from four different organizations, including live network data. It investigates the feasibility of a...
LLM Assistant for TAPI Context and Client Code Translation
This paper presents an LLM-based mediator for disaggregated optical networks, designed to address inconsistencies in TAPI interpretation and generation. By integrating TAPI-YANG models, shared TAPI context, and advanced prompting, it enables a...
Adaptive Change-Point Detection in S-RISnet-Assisted Wireless Networks
This paper proposes Adaptive S-RISNet, a scalable RIS configuration framework that leverages statistical CSI and change-point detection to update phase shifts only when necessary. The method achieves near-optimal performance while drastically...
Short Range Optical Wireless Communication at 67.8 Gbit/s using a Multiaperture VCSEL
We demonstrate a point-to-point optical wireless communication link for fixed wireless access scenarios using a multiaperture VCSEL. At 5 meters distance, a record net data rate of 67.8 Gbit/s is reached after LDPC FEC.
Angle-Resolved Channel Measurements at 28 and 160 GHz in Open Office Environment
Explore how 28 and 160 GHz radio channels really behave in an industrial-style open office. Using angle-resolved measurements at 135 positions, this paper extracts path loss, delay and angular spreads, validates 3GPP models, and quantifies...
Beam-Steered Channel Measurement at 160 GHz in an Industrial Environment
Beam-steered channel measurements were analyzed and evaluated on the basis of identified beam pair realizations regarding MIMO capabilities, macro-diversity gains and blockage effects for a multi-transmitter industrial sub-terahertz communication...
