Abstract: Proposed is a mobile router for transmitting and receiving millimeter waves to and from a base station, the mobile router including a first member including an antenna array configured to transmit and receive the millimeter waves, a second member, and an angle adjustment part connecting the first member to the second member, wherein the angle adjustment part is formed such that the first member and the second member are adjusted at a predetermined angle so as to allow the antenna array to transmit and receive the millimeter waves at a specific angle. The first member including the antenna array is configured to be unfolded at a predetermined angle with respect to the second member in order to transmit and receive a 5G millimeter wave beam signal at a specific angle, and thus a user can optimally adjust the transmission/reception sensitivity of 5G millimeter waves.

Abstract: Embodiments include a fully non-interactive publicly-verifiable delegation scheme for committed programs, specifically, a setting where Alice is a trusted author who delegates to an untrusted worker the task of hosting a program P, represented as a Boolean circuit. Alice also commits to a succinct value based on P. Disclosed methods allow an arbitrary user/verifier without knowledge of P to be convinced that they are receiving from the worker an actual computation of Alice's program on a given input x.

Abstract: A system and method for L0 regularization-based compressed sensing (CS) may use a quantum-classical hybrid system consisting of coherent Ising machines (CIM) and classical digital processors CDP). The CIM and CDP each performs alternating minimization for L0 regularization-based compressed sensing (CS). A truncated Wigner stochastic differential equation (W-SDE) is obtained from the master equation for the density operator of the network of degenerate optical parametric oscillators.

Abstract: A method and system for computing the geolocation of UEs in a communication system by using LEO satellites. The satellites in this method and system combine only the signals that are transmitted by the communicating endpoints with the information of time of arrival and ephemeris data. A minimum of three or four satellites, based on the method used for computing the geolocation, are required to receive and append the signals transmitted by a UE. An access server of an LBS provider uses the information in the signals to compute the geolocation coordinates of UEs of its client users. Similarly, a UE of a client can also compute the geolocation coordinates of an access server of an LBS provider; as a consequence, both can authenticate each other using a location-based access control method. As a result, both UE and access server can directly authenticate each other using a suitable immutable factor.
