Why Channel-Centric Models are not Enough to Predict End-to-End Performance in Private 5G: A Measurement Campaign and Case Study

This paper demonstrates that channel-centric models, including ray-tracing simulators, fail to accurately predict end-to-end throughput in private 5G networks due to systematic over-estimation of MIMO spatial layers, whereas data-driven Gaussian process models trained on direct measurements provide significantly more reliable predictions for communication-aware robot planning.

Performance Analysis of Edge and In-Sensor AI Processors: A Comparative Review

This paper reviews the landscape of ultra-low-power edge and in-sensor AI processors and empirically benchmarks a segmentation model on GAP9, STM32N6, and Sony IMX500 platforms to demonstrate that while in-sensor processing offers superior energy-delay performance, different architectures provide distinct trade-offs between latency, energy efficiency, and power budgets.
